I would like some recommendations for NES, SNES, N64, PSX, PS2, Wii, NDS and Gamecube libre emulators, if there’s something that can emulate at least various of the first consoles it would be even better, like Lemuroid does on Android. Thanks!

    Most of them will come up in any Linux software center if you search for “nes” or “snes” or “megadrive” or “gbc” or “gba”, etc.

    Standard disclaimer for N64 - Nintendo didn’t share much, the engine was deeply strange, and it is hard to emulate properly.

      Thanks a lot for your detailed answer, I think I’m going to keep using RetroArch for everything before PSX and use the rest you mentioned for other stuff, although I don’t think I’m going to be playing PS3 games or something like that in a while.

      Yeah, after some searching I found about it, feel pretty stupid that I’ve been all these years without knowing about it. Where do you download ROMs?

          Thanks, I added it to my list of piracy websites!

        Torrents have pretty much everything, there’s even SNES and Sega Genesis torrents that have every single game ever made for those systems.

          Wow, pretty amazing, are these on regular trackers or do you use specific ones for ROMs? I am not interested in that many games, though, I am only interested in isolated titles in old platforms to be honest, since they tend to have a lot of issues either on gameplay or in terms of sexism.

            Yeah they’re on the public trackers. I don’t understand why people use private ones, when privacy VPN’s are so cheap (if you happen to live in a country that cowtow’s to the US’s filesharing crackdowns).

              It makes sense to me, you can find very specific content at super high speeds, it is not so much a thing related to privacy but content and quality, a lot of people who are on pruvate trackers use seedboxes so they are spending money anyways.
