Free snes emulator software for linux

Wide Area Link Emulator enables you to set and test various parameters of a WAN access link (also known as a bottleneck link) before testing on a fully-functional network.

Any ISP has a high bandwidth LAN (of the order of tens of Mbps, e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN access link with relatively low speeds (of the order of a few Kbps to a few Mbps). To be able to evaluate the ISPs performance, actual tests will have to be conducted on a live, fully functional network. This would imply enabling certain features in communication equipment which could be detrimental to the proper functioning of a commissioned network. To address such a problem of being able to characterize/quantify the network operation in terms of its performance with respect to various parameters, a test-bed emulating the ISPs connectivity to the Internet would be an ideal solution.

An important factor in setting up such a test-bed, is emulating the WAN Access Link. Using complex hardware is costly. Such a link can however be easily implemented by emulating the scenario on popular physical technology such as Ethernet. By changing the TCP/IP stack on a Personal Computer, the rate at which packets are injected into the network can be controlled and other necessary features can easily be added.

WALE was implemented in 2 phases and the first version can emulated bandwidths up to 8Mbps and uses FIFO queues with drop-tail.

WALE v2 can emulate bandwidths of up to 80Mbps(a 10-fold improvement over version 1) due to the stripped down version of Micro-second resolution timer being used in the Linux kernel. WALE also implements differentiated services are recommended by IETF. A hash-based packet classifier is used to classify packets into one of 3 queues (Expedited Forwarding, Assured Forwarding and Best Effort). A simple priority scheduling has been implemented between the queues.

Version 2 has been implemented in the Generic Device Layer of the Linux Kernel. The kernel version is 2.2.19. WALE2 kernel patch can be downloaded here. An ncurses based front end has been implemented for setting and viewing various parameters of the bottleneck link.

Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator (UADE) plays most Amiga music file formats by simulating Amiga hardware and software.
Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator plays over 180 Amiga music file formats and has three frontends for playing: a command line tool, an XMMS plugin, and a Beep Media Player frontend.
Enhancements:
- An improved version of the Special FX replayer was added.
- A new Special FX ST replayer was added.

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.

- There are several other fixes and an updated NTSC filter.

SharpNES is a clean-room NES emulator using SDL and GTK#.
SharpNES supports:
- A number of NES mappers
- SaveRAM using the .sav files other NES emulators use
- Play/pause
SharpNES is 100% clean room, no proprietary information was harmed in the making of this emulator.

Qemu Launcher is a GNOME front-end for the Qemu x86 PC emulator based on GTK. Qemu is a command line application so I wrote this so that Qemu is more accessible from the desktop.
Main features:
- Create and save multiple VM configurations
- Disk image creation from the GUI using dd, qemu-mkcow, and vmdk2raw for raw, COW, and VMWare converted images respectively.
- Provides Qemu console access via xterm
- Configurations stored in users home directory in ~/.qemu-launcher
- Disk images can be stored anywhere

EQEmu project is an Everquest server emulator.
The EQEMU project is an attempt to recreate the Everquest server software, runnable from a Windows or Linux machine.

Enhancements:
- Compatible with ZoneProxy 1.4.
- Improvements made on the combination code.
- Combined packets now work to full extent.
- Fixed mob movement.
- Added AC. Probably needs major adjusting of values to match live, but its a start.
