'''Distro-agnostic packages''' are application portability solutions in Linux.
+
This page lists emulators on the Nintendo Wii. For information on how to make them run, please see the following: https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/hacking-guide/
  
−
There are thousands of different distributions of Linux, and many of these use different package systems to manage application installation. Some popular ones are .deb format used by Debian, Ubuntu and its variants, and there is also RPM format used by [[Emulation on Fedora|Fedora]], RedHat, and many others.
 
−
Packages of the game console and computer emulators exist for popular Linux distros, usually available from the official software repositories of the distribution, but they are usually very old compared to the upstream versions. In addition, these packages are typically made only for one single version of the distribution, and due to dependency problems, these can not be used in other distros.
 
−
There are at least three new package formats that are aiming to bring application portability to the Linux ecosystem. Packages using these formats are quite huge in file size due to bundling all dependencies in it, but they can run in any popular Linux distros.

==Flatpak==
+
==Multi-system==
−
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|Ubuntu's PPA]].
+
*[[Virtual Console]]
  
−
[https://flathub.org/ Flathub], probably the biggest Flatpak repository, has several emulators.
+
*[https://github.com/raz0red/wii-mednafen/ WiiMednafen] - Emulates the following:
 +
**GameBoy/GameBoy Color
 +
**GameBoy Advance
 +
**Game Gear

**Lynx
 +
**MegaDrive/Genesis
 +
**Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

===Nintendo GameCube===
 +
*[https://github.com/FIX94/nintendont Nintendont] This requires a bit of explaining.
 +
 
 +
When the Nintendo Wii was launched, it introduced native backward compatibility with the GameCube, allowing memory cards and GameCube controllers to be used with GameCube games. This is widely known and it allowed [[Dolphin]] to support the Wii early in its open-source era. However, this compatibility was lost when Nintendo released newer models called the Wii: Family Edition (although the ports were merely stripped from the casing; the circuit board still contains the areas where the connectors would go, see Wikipedia's section on it) and the Wii Mini (which also lacks an SD card slot as well.) Also on the Wii U, the GameCube ports don't exist at all, only being offered afterward as a USB peripheral in order to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
 +
 
 +
However, homebrew developer FIX94 has developed an interpreter that allows all versions of the Wii (and the Wii U) that can run homebrew to read and run GameCube games, not only from a disc, but from SD cards and USB devices too. This comes with the added benefit that more controllers are supported past the normal GameCube ones, which makes it possible to play on consoles that don't have GCN controller ports.
 +
 
 +
Some notable features are the ability to use other controllers like the Classic Controller, Wiimote+Nunchuck, and some HID USB controllers, memory card emulation, playing TRIFORCE arcade games (after converted to an .iso), and recently Broadband Adapter emulation using the Wii's wireless communications.

AppImage is a package format that allows software distribution without a superuser permission. Unlike the other two, AppImage does not have a system to find, download, install and uninstall the packages. Instead, it works like Microsoft Windows .exe files with no DLL requirements.
+
*[https://gbatemp.net/threads/residualvm-wii-grim-fandango-interpreter.342214/ Grim Fandango interpreter]

The user must give the 'executable' permission to the AppImage package (chmod +x ./appname.AppImage) but this is the only requirement.

Unfortunately, emulator adaption is very poor compared to the other two systems. [[RPCS3]] and [[yuzu]] are the most notable emulators to officially adopt this format, but aside of [https://github.com/probonopd/qemu-ppc QEMU_PowerPC] (A PowerPC emulator), [https://forums.libretro.com/t/linux-retroarch-runtime-for-every-modern-distro-with-appimage/4965 unofficial build of RetroArch], [https://github.com/ferion11/PCSX2_Appimage PCSX2] and [https://www.appimagehub.com/p/1238151 Dolphin] (both are outdated compared to upstream releases) no other emulators are known to available in this format.
