Nintendo GBA or NDS Emulator and Roms for Linux???
Hey Everyone,
Im new to linux and to using emulators and roms so bare with me here...
Ive just installed linux on my computer so im Dual Booting with it and Vista... i need to figure out how to either use my current emulators on linux or get a multi platform emulator ( which is fairly easy but just wait till u hear the problems.
I have wireless but the software is for windows, so the net wont work on linux at the moment, so i cant try to download the driver software or anything... and when i try to download emulators or roms with windows the file extensions are always tar or zip files and will only open with internet explorer... Can Someone please help me out???
Hi, I recently joined on this forum and I'm searching for a newly updated emulator for Linux. I'm Interested in GBA Emulators, SNES, NDS or just one emulator who will fit for Linux but will be able to play all of these three consoles simultaneously. If someone has an idea pls share it.
Is there option of playing SNES, NDS, GBA ROMs on MAME Emulator, In my opinion, that's not possible. What about RetroArch is it good emulator for playing these kinds of games.

GBA yes, DS yes, SNES yes. All work on MAME.

Yes
I prefer standalone MAME (which is Linux-native) for arcade games, but RetroArch for everything else: NES, NDS, and GBA.
Hi.
MAME is only for arcade.
For Snes, use bsnes if you got a strong system, or snes9x/zsnes if you need to save your res.
For GBA, use Virtual Boy Advance, it runs fine & smooth.
Got no Experience with NDS, but you could give a shoot to http://desmume.org/ .
Its bad practice to use wine to run an emulator, only if there is no alternative you can give it a try.
For the most systems there are good native emulators avaible.
