Some popular ones are .deb format used by Debian, Ubuntu and its variants, and there is also RPM format used by [[wikipedia:Motorola_68000Emulation on Fedora|Motorola 68000Fedora]] CPU (hence , RedHat, and many others.Packages of the name)game console and computer emulators exist for popular Linux distros, 1 MiB usually available from the official software repositories of RAMthe distribution, and no hard drive; but they are usually very old compared to the last model was released in 1993 with a 25 MHz Motorola 68030 CPUupstream versions.

==EmulatorsFlatpak=={Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is a distro-agnostic application framework. It is a decentralized system and has no central package repository. Instead, the user must manually add the repository's URL to the system before packages can be installed, like in [[Emulation on Ubuntu| class="wikitable" style="textUbuntu's PPA]]. [https://flathub.org/ Flathub], probably the biggest Flatpak repository, has several emulators. To install emulators from Flathub, add the location of Flathub repository to your system: <code>$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo</code> List of available application package names can be obtained by the following command: <code>$ flatpak remote-alignls flathub</code> Use the following command to install the emulator from Flathub:center;"! scope="col"|<code>$ flatpak install flathub ''Package Name''</code>! scope="col"|Operating System(s)! scope="col"|Latest VersionAvailable emulators and its package name is listed below.! scope="col"{|[[Libretro|Libretro Core]]! scopeclass="colwikitable"|Active! scopewidth="col100%"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]

==Snappy=Comparisons===;XM6 Pro-68k:Focused on providing necessary debugging features and has decent compatibility. It has since been succeeded by TypeG in most regards.;[[XM6 TypeG]]:It can run in X68030 mode in high accuracySnappy, good peripheral/expansion support and will run also called 'snaps' or just about any game you throw at it.;[[MAME]]:Its X68000 core 'snap', is still in a very early stage of development in terms of playability and should only be used if the debugging features of Prodistro-68k are lacking. Small work on it was put in several versions between [http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.146u5 0.146u5] (2012) & [http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.177 0.177] (2016)agnostic application framework made by Canonical, but working software started being added regularly from [http://wikithe Ubuntu devs.mamedev.org/index.php/MAME_0.178 0.178] and onwards.;XM6i:Built largely around being able to run NetBSD/X68k. While it can run gamesUnlike other formats, it is clear that this is not what XM6i is focused on.;px68k:An open-source fork of the c68k emulator. px68k has a libretro core but lacks options like save states present in other emulators. It lacks MIDI emulation.;px68k-libretro:It is supported on Windows, Linux and Mac systems; centralized system and has portable versions for PSP, Android, and other platformsthe official repository to download the packages from.

The Pandora version (An open-source handheld PC) by ptitSeb was forked from hissorii's 'px68k' branch and encapsulates the Lists all latest code from px68k-libretro (A spin-off of hissorii's branch). It should now have good performance as of Build 09 (March 2018). ==Playing Games==Before first using the [[RetroArch]] core for px68k, make sure to go under the directory for BIOS files (packages but often flooded with "systemHello World" by defaultapps) and create a new folder called "keropi". Then inside that folder put cgrom.dat and iplrom.dat from [httphttps://wwwsnapcraft.gradiushomeworld.co.ukio/download.php?file=x68_win68k_roms.rar this packstore Snapcraft]. If you're using standalone Pro-68k, put those two files under the same directory as the emulator executable. If you're using MAME's core under RetroArch, you'll need to put those x68000 BIOS files (from emuparadise) under the keropi folder: x68000, x68000 super, x68000 XVI, x68030, x68k_cz6bs1. You'll need the MS Gothic font installed on your PC as well. Make sure to decompress the games before playing them.

Unlike the first bootother two, AppImage does not have a “config” file will be generated in system to find, download, install and uninstall the “keropi” folderpackages. You can enter your rom folder into Instead, it works like Microsoft Windows .exe files with no DLL requirements.The user must give the “StartDir” line 'executable' permission to make it accessible from the PX68k-libretro core’s in-game menuAppImage package (chmod +x ./appname.AppImage) but this is the only requirement.
