F11 Leonidas Game Emulators

ReaperLove · #1 10th October 2009, 11:42 PM

Recently, thinking about my childhood and the awesome game Rampage: Universal Tour, I was wondering if they were any N64 emulators for linux that are workable, even better work well in F11.
I found one through a google search but it seems outdated.

N64? Excuse my ignorance. Are you referring to Nintendo64? If so,

Code:

~/> yum search nintendo

Project64 runs well under wine.

After exit you may need get error dialogs, type this in a terminal 'killall winedbg'

Got it installed, I need some audio and video plugins however.
Any suggestions ?
Also does keyboard input work instead of a controller?

i recall using the Linux version of Mupen 64 with some success...but it's been over a year so i can only tell you to look into it.

...used a 360 controller to play Goldeneye... it was :bowdown:

I didn't need any extra plugins, just used the default ones (although that's on a core 2 duo @2Ghz + nvidia graphics)

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/project64.html

Code:

wine ~/Download/project64_1.6.exe

then launch from Applications -> Wine -> Programs

Keyboard works by default, x, c and return keys do most things (also a, s and z), cursor keys for movement, see the controller plugin dialog for the mapping.

On slower machines (like atom based netbooks) the audio will be crackly and out of sync, so you may need to select no sound in audio plugin selection in settings to get a playable game)
