Running The Emulator On Linux Command Line Only


So I installed LUbuntu.  Now I have a multi-emulator computer -- It runs DOSBox, VICE and X16 really well.  I just need to set up the keyboard mapping and get them to run full screen.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks!!

Your "Retro Gaming" Hardware or Emulators?

Right now I have a raspberry pi 3 running Retro Pie for arcade, a couple NES games, and a couple 64 games.  I have two old usb game pads that I got at the thrift store that I use to play games on, but I am working on a proper arcade control panel.  Right now, the Pi is connected to a 52 in TV that ...

How big of a pirate were you back in the day?

Wow, guys... I gotta say, my first job out of college was 'managing' a computer store (that means I was the only guy working there, and the main store was across town) that sold mostly Commodore stuff.  When new games came in, the manager of the main store would open it up, make copies for everybod...

Running The Emulator On Linux Command Line Only

Thanks for the feedback... My idea was to convert an old laptop to one that ran only the X16 emulator.  The laptop I have is way too under powered to run any graphic version of Linux (or at least, too under powered to run Ubuntu...  maybe a more light weight debian distro would work) but it does ru...

Greetings

Hello all. My name is Greg.  I had a C64 back in the day.  I typed all my college labs on it and printed it out with my MPS 801.  One instructor asked me to get a new printer 'cause he didn't like the way it printed 'g' and 'y'...  Got my 64 when I was in grade 10.  I hacked it apart, installing a ...

How big of a pirate were you back in the day?

What's a pirate's favourite letter?  You'd think it was Rrrrrrr.... but ye'd be wrong... it's the C. Yeah... software piracy on my old 64...  Is there a statute of limitations on this stuff? Did anybody else have a copy of MULE where the 'store' was scrambled and you had to 'feel' your way though i...
