Does anybody know of an emulator for the DS that runs on Linux?
My computer is an x86 running Gentoo (single boot).
I have seen about 5 or 6 emulators, but they all run on windows right now. iDeaS is supposedly going to be released for multiple platforms, but until then is there anything I can use?
Thanks.

Wine is probably the best bet until the multi platform release is a reality.

I'm in the same boat. Love linux but we seem to be last on the list for emulators.
Speaking of, anyone know of GBA emulator for Linux besides VisualBoyAdvance?

Yup, I know dualis in wine works.

Did you do anything specal to wine to get dualis to work?
In wine, I can start dualis just fine, but when I open a rom that works in dualis in windows, wine freezes.
I don't have any 3D acceleration enabled on my old video card, but would that be the problem?

Same problem here. And recently, wine can't find the DLL file either!

open the dualis.ini and change the video mode to GDI....that fixed dualis under wine for me (until I got a 3D card then the other modes worked).
Switching modes while dualis is running under wine usually causes it to crash for me, thats why you have to edit the .ini
If your PC is slow, turn frameskipping to 1 and turn off speed limiting.

Hey, that worked!
but, on the demo where you click on the touch screen and it displays where you clicked, I get 1/2 a frame per second. I think I will look into enabling hardware acceleration next.

Yeah, no$gba and Mappy VM (this one is quite good for debugging) both work almost perfectly for me under wine.

FIXED! - Just installed all the wine libraries I could find and upgraded to version 20050628. Thanks to davr in #dsdev
I'm still kind of lost. I changed the graphics mode, downloaded the required DLLs, and I still just get this:

Someone could probably grab a copy of winelib and the Dualis source and do a native recompile for Linux.
