Free nintendo software for linux

DeSmuME project is a Nintendo DS emulator that can run both commercial games and homebrew applications.

The original author of DeSmuME is YopYop156. He has stopped working on it on the beginning of april 2006 and passed the torch to a new team of developers. You can now follow the progress of DeSmuME on this site.

Simple Wiimote Library for Linux (Libwiimote) is a simple C library for communicating with the Nintendo Wii Remote on a Linux system.
Even though the API strives to be minimal, it provides complete control over most features of the wiimote and nunchuk controllers.
Installation
Make sure you have BlueZ installed. Type make in the toplevel directory to build the library and sample applications. After the build is complete the library can be found in the lib directory.
Usage
In the test directory there are a couple of test applications that illustrate how to use this library.
Enhancements:
- Added support for the classic controller.

Icon=video
Name=Convert to video for Wii
Name[es]=Convertir en video para Wii

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=2video4wii

RT-Thread is a real-time operating system. It is designed specifically for small memory footprint platforms. The kernel supports the tranditional RTOS services, such as multiple threads, semaphores, mutexes, event flags, mailboxes, etc.
RT-Thread project also provides a C-expression interpreter shell, from which a programmer can access kernel variables and invoke system functions.
Main features:
Kernel Object System
- There is a kernel object system, which can access and manage all of the kernel objects. Kernel objects include most of the facilities in the kernel, for example, thread, semaphore etc. Kernel objects can be static objects, whose memory is allocated in compiling. It can be dynamic objects as well, whose memory is allocated from system heaps in runtime. Through the kernel object system, RT-Thread operating system can be independent from the memory management system and greatly enhance the scalability of the system.
Multi-Task/Thread Scheduling
- RT-Thread operating system supports multi-task systems, which are based on thread scheduling. The scheduling algorithm used in RT-Thread operating system is a full preemptive priority-based scheduling algorithm. It supports 256 priority levels, in which 0 is the highest and 255 the lowest. The 255th priority is used for idle thread. The scheduling algorithm also supports threads running at same priority level. The shared time-slice round-robin scheduling is used for this case. The time of scheduler to determine the next highest ready thread is determinant. The number of threads in the system is unlimited, only related with RAM.
Synchronization Mechanisms
- RT-Thread operating system supports the traditional semaphore and mutex. Mutex objects use inherited priority to prevent priority reversion. The semaphore release action is safe for interrupt service routine. Moreover, the block queue for thread to obtain semaphore or mutex can be sorted by priority or FIFO.
Inter-Thread Communication
- RT-Thread operating systems supports event/fast event, mail box and message queue. The event mechanism is used to awake a thead by setting one or more corresponding bit of a binary number when an event ocurs. The fast event supports event thread queue. Once a one bit event occurs, the corresponding blocked thread can be found out timing accurately, then will be waked up. In mailbox, a mail length is fixed to 4 byte, which is more effective than message queue. The send action for communication facilities is also safe for interrupt service routine.
Clock and Timer
- In default, the system uses clock tick to implement shared time-slice scheduling. The timing sensitivity of thread is implemented by timers. The timer can be set as one-shot or periodic timeout.
Memory Management
- RT-Thread operating system supports two types memory management: static memory pool management and dynamic memory heap management. The time to allocate a memory block from the memory pool is determinant and when the memory pool is empty, the allocated thread can be blocked (or immediately return, or waiting for sometime to return, which are determined by a timeout parameter). When other thread releases memory blocks to this memory pool, the blocked thread is wake up.
Enhancements:
- More porting was done to Samsung S3C44b0 CPU, AMTEL AT91SAM7S64, Nintendo DS, and Intel i386.

BoboBot project is a one-player side-view game in the style of Capcoms excellent "MegaMan" series of Nintendo, PlayStation and PC games.
As "BoboBot," the `robo-monkey, you travel to eight different levels fighting your way to the boss. Once defeated, you gain that boss special weapon. This preview release contains 4 of the 8+ planned levels and has sound and joystick support for Linux users.
Main features:
- Slippery ice
- Unlit tombs and caves
- Walking "Bomb-Bots"

Snes9X is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator.
Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator.
It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.
Main features:
- ability to save in any location of the game, despite how the game was designed its amazingly useful when you dont want to redo the same level over and over.
- built-in peripherals. This is anything from multi-taps, to super scopes, to cheat devices.
- ability to rip sprites and music for your own personal use
- easier to organize and no stacks of cartridges that scare off non-nerdish women.
- filters can be used to enhance graphics on old games.
Snes9x is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.
Currently there are many ports of Snes9x available, please check the download page to see if a port exists for your system.
Enhancements:
- Pseudo-hires rendering flush, Old 2xsai endian fix
- Added oops auto-snapshot support
- Anomies control remapping patch
- Support for IPS patches in the zip file
- Config file for Unix/X11 and Unix/SVGA
- Rewrote the renderer. Enjoy!
- Add support for saner directory structures under Unix
- Added 4-point gaussian interpolation and proper envelopes.
- Speed adjustment of C++ Super FX emulation.
- Removed some game specific hacks.
- dded partial Satellaview (BS) emulation.
- dded the Katakana font for onscreen messages.
- Updated JMA to v1
- Fixed JMA options in config
- Removed --with(out)-asmcpu option in config because the i386 assembler CPU core is out of date.
- Changed the default settings in config.
- Ported Snes9x to AMD64.
- Completed DSP-1 code.
- Updated DSP-3 and DSP-4 code.
- Fixed a lot of bugs.
