Thankfully, us linux users have a good gba emulator now. Windows already had the legendary no$gba.
And what about the PS emu scene? PCSX is dead, so your choice is between PCSXr, and ePSXe. There are meaningful differences between the two, but it's pretty hard to know that up front.
The DC emu scene is almost nonexistant, all the emulators have been abandoned, none of them work on Linux (Reicast claims to, but it doesn't: I've tried), and even on windows, most games barely run, if at all.
And then there's the NES emulation scene on GBA: pocketnes is the best emulator by far (it's amazing), and you can find copies floating around, but you need a pocketnes rom maker to build the roms, and that's hard to find, especially on unix. The only one I've found for unix is mkrom, and good luck getting your hands on it: I had to trawl archive.org for hours to find a copy.
- Narishma 10y agoThe best (most accurate) PS1 emulator is mednafen I believe.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI haven't used it, but I don't trust multi-system emulators as a rule. Especially after my many bad experiences with RetroArch.
- Narishma 10y agoIn this particular case, the multi-system emulator is more accurate than the single-system competitors.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoHuh. Well, mame is similarly better. I guess it's worth a shot.
- ashark 10y agoUsing whatever Lakka's default core is for a given system for your architecture is usually a safe bet (I think it is mednafen on x86 for PS1 now)
- voltagex_ 10y agoWow, thanks for this. Are there any comparison write-ups that show the difference between mednafen and other emulators?
- BearOso 10y agoJust so everyone knows, that GBA emulator is mGBA (https://mGBA.io https://mGBA.io)
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThanks for linking. I forgot to do so in my original post, which I kind of feel bad about in retrospect.
- anthk 10y agoReicast under Retroarch runs a lot of stuff.
