Nintendo - NES Emulators

Name	Description
DarcNES	DarcNES is a newer DOS/Linux NES emulator, also emulates Sega Master System, PCE and quite a few other systems, not only consoles. It supports the most common mappers and also includes sound support. The documentation currently lacks some important information (such as the controls) but you can find them on the DarcNES homepage.
EmilNES	This is the Linux port of EmilNES. Compatibility is not that great so far, but give it some time.
FakeNES	FakeNES is an Open Source NES emulator written by stainless with the maintainer of SNEeSe. Though still in the early stages of development, it includes neat features like Zapper support and sound.
FCE Ultra	This is the Linux build of FCE Ultra...see the description on the Win/Dos NES emulators for all the details. Also, the source code has been included for those who wish to compile their own copy.
FCEUX	The idea here is that FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm. It's meant to be an all-encompasing build with features from all of those branches of FCEU and more.
fwNES	In my opinion, fwNES is the best NES emulator for Linux. It supports iNES mappers 0-34 except 6,12-14,20,26-31 and fwNES mappers 64-85,88 and 100. It has also got good sound support and is pretty fast. Download this or you'll be sorry.
iNES	iNES has been around for a long time now and focuses on mapper support and compatibility. Choose your platform, download, and you won't be upset at all.
InfoNES	InfoNES is a japanese NES emulator for Linux that supports a nice amount of mappers, worth a look.
Little John New Generation	Little John is one of the newer NES emulators for UNIX. It's actually an SNES emulator, too, and has support for a lot of stuff (joysticks, OpenGL, 2xSai, etc) and it's really worth a try!
Nestra	Nestra is a nice NES emu for Linux, it uses dynamic recompiling to get more speed but it is still in early stages and features no sound and has some bugs, but it's still nice.
NextFCE	NextFCE is a new emulator based on BERO's FCE source. I have not tried this emulator since I don't run FBSD, if anyone give me a quick run-down of the emulator, that'd be great, or if any has time to translate the homepage or the docs that'd good too.
Nofrendo	This NES emulator is written by Matt Conte. It has been under construction for a long time now, and a preview release is finally available. Not much else is known at this time.
RockNES	This is an updated port of RockNES to Linux. It's now based on the v4.0, and so has good compatibility and many features, as well as a GUI.
SharpNES	SharpNES is a "clean-room" implementation of an 8-bit NES emulator in Mono/C#.
TuxNES	This is a good NES emulator for Linux that runs many games, including Solar Jetman and other games that tend to freak out in other NES emulators. It has support for a good amount of mappers, and it's definitely worth the download. Also works with FreeBSD.
XNes	Although the development has been stopped, this is an ok emulator, with sound.
