* PR8 DOES NOT WORK IN THIS EMULATOR *

[lidnariq]

I've had absolutely no problems compliling Nestopia with linux patches on debian sid for the past N years. If you try again and have problems, feel free to send me a PM.

...I tried compiling someone's patch to add Linux support to Nestopia, but the compiled program just froze when running an NROM game on my laptop.

I'm using Nestopia on Ubuntu, it works pretty darn good. (Except for the sound thing, it's a mess)

Same here. Sound...well, it could be better.
I have only noticed one "real" Bug so far, that only occurs when playing NSF Tracks with VRC6 for too many times.
For everything else I use FCEUX in the newest wine version.
Usually it works fine! The sound will make problems though if you don't use a low-latency kernel...at least that's what happened to me.
I have low-latency now and the sound usually works, but only on very low quality, so I just turn it off, if I don't need it which gives me an overall better performance
But there are two things that annoy me:
FCEUX has a HEX Editor in it which I really like to use, but every time I try to use it in Wine, it crashes at some point.
Nintendulator works, but it has two major problems:
- It runs really slow (could be my laptop...it's old)
- It does not accept the Wine keyboard for the Controller Input or the Hotkeys

btw, I still use Ubuntu 10.10 64-Bit(sorry, forgot that the first time...). I usually wait a while with upgrades due to some bad experiences back with 7.10 and 8.04.

Amen to that.

As far as emulators on linux go, I run NEStopia natively and FCEUX through wine and those both usually meet my needs, although I'd agree on the sound thing.
