2	THE GNU+LINUX GUIDE OF EMULATAN: *buntu Edition
3
4	Info for newfriends
5	A big difference between Wingdos and GNU+Leenocks is that when you want to install a program on lanoox you don't have to go to the site, download an installer and install it (except in some specific cases).
6
7	There's something called repositories, which are like "app stores". You use a package manager to search for programs in the repositories, install them, update them and uninstall them.
8
9	Your linuqs distribution comes with their official repositories already configured so you can get programs for there, but they don't always have every good emulator, and most of the time if they have it it's an old version. So what we are going to do is add more repositories that have up-to-date emulators. Once these repositories are added you will be able to install the emulators like with any other program and update them with the rest of your programs.
10
11	All this is cool, but there will be some emulators that you won't find on repositories, so you'll have to use different methods to get them, but don't worry, I'll explain it later.
12
13
14	IMPORTANT!
15	This guide is focused on *buntu distros like Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Lubuntu. Repositories shown here WILL NOT work on other distros, but you can find the same emulators for your distro somewhere else. Where? I don't know, but there's always google.
16
17	How to add the repositories
18	To add this repos you will have to run the next command on a terminal:
19	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
20	where the ppa:user/ppa-name are the ones you'll find in the table for the repository you want to add.
21	After you add all the repos you want you'll have to run the next command to update the packages database
22	sudo apt-get update
23	Once that's done you will have all the packages from those repos available to install
24
25	How to install, update and uninstall emulators after the repos are added
26	For this task I recommend you to install synaptic. That program will be a lot of help.
27	Once you have it installed you can choose to organize packages by source and see all the repos you have available. See what emulators each of the repos you added has and install the emulators you want.
28
29	Repositories List
30	Emulators it has	ppa:user/ppa-name
31	scummvm, mednafen, fceux, old versions of other emulators	Official ubuntu repos
32	snes9x-gtk	ppa:bearoso/ppa
33	bsnes, dolphin, gambatte, nestopia, ssnes, vba-m	ppa:hunter-kaller/ppa
34	pcsx2	ppa:gregory-hainaut/pcsx2.official.ppa
35	MAME	ppa:c.falco/mame
36	pcsxr, zsnes	ppa:yagisan/ppa
37	desmume	ppa:leon.nardella/desmume-daily
38	dolphin	ppa:glennric/dolphin-emu
39	mupen64plus and plugins for it	ppa:sven-eckelmann/ppa-mupen64plus
40
41	You can find more repositories by googling "emulatoryouwant launchpad ppa" without the quotes. Check that they have packages for your ubuntu version, cause people like to abandon their ppas
42
43	This guide is not finished yet, more info will come on how to install stuff you can't find in repos

2	Emulation Guide for Fedora
3	Fedora Website: http://www.fedoraproject.org/
4
5	From Repositories
6	Fedora will never have emulators in the official repository, as this is against their software policy.
7	However, a number of them are hosted at RPMFusion's repositories.
8	To install RPMFusion's software repositories, use the following commands as root:
9
10	yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
11	yum --nogpgcheck install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
12	yum update
13
14	The second RPM is where you get proper video drivers for nVidia/AMD cards. Install either "kmod-nvidia" or "kmod-catalyst".
15	The following emulators can be found from the RPMFusion repositories:
16
17			NES	Nestopia
18			SNES	bsnes, snes9x, ZSNES
19			Game Boy Series	VBA-M
20			Nintendo DS	DeSmuME
21			Gamecube, Wii	Dolphin
22
23	Can't find your emulator in the repository? We get to compile then!
24
25	Compiling Emulators
26	This could be considered a generic guide for all GNU/Linux distributions, but we will be using Fedora as our base for this tutorial.
27
28	First, we need libraries. Lots and lots of libraries. I mean, seriously, we need libraries like space pirates need TUUUUUUUUBES.
29	You can generally find a list of dependencies with the emulator's source, but often those are listed for Ubuntu. So instead,
30	enjoy this blanket list of programs and libraries to install:
31
32	# Compiler Stuff
33	yum install cmake gcc gcc-c++ scons
34	# Assorted Libraries
35	yum install libx86 nasm openal-soft SDL*
36	# Development Headers
37	yum install alsa-lib-devel bluez-libs-devel glew-devel glibc-devel.i686 glibmm24-devel gtkglextmm-devel gtkmm-utils-devel
38	libao-devel libglademm24-devel openal-soft-devel portaudio-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel SFML-devel SOIL-devel wxGTK-devel
39
40	The reference text for the above list can be found here: http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/Fedora.txt
41
42	If you want automated emulator compiling, some ganoo-plus-loonicks nerd made a Mupen64Plus build/update/install package:
43
44		Mupen64Plus	http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/flibitMupen64Plus.tar.gz
45
46	It is highly recommended that you read the scripts/readmes before running these so you understand what's going on!
47
48	As for compiling the emulators themselves, you're better off looking at the emulator's website/forum for specific tutorials.
49	Emulator developers like to use tons of different environments, from basic Makefiles to CMake to SCons to who knows what.
50	The library list above and the automated scripts should help you get started if you're entirely unfamiliar with compiling, though.
51
52	If you still want help, feel free to ask in the threads.

3		Actually, there's not much to say here.
4		On OSX, we just have OpenEmu to handle emulation on classic consoles.

6		Download Xcode from the Mac App Store, then `git clone` this repository:

10		Follow the directions on their wiki for building OpenEmu:
