Time to bring back the oldschool with the classic, Famicon. The Famicon or the Nintendo Entertainment System, as it was known in the states, was a console of epic proportions. It was the beginning of the never-ending journey of Final Fantasy and the addiction to saving everyones favorite princess, Zelda. And now you can play all your favorite classics on linux.
There are multiple ways to installing an NES Emulator onto Ubuntu. I am going to show you the quickest and easiest way to install my personal favorite, FCE Ultra. If you are using an up-to-date version of Ubuntu this will be a painless install. First you will have to do is go to “Applications >> Add/Remove.”

Hi– installed SNES and works great — but i cant get the NES to work. i can download the fce ultra but not the graphical interface. Im running Ubuntu on a dell mini 9, and it says the installation conflicts with another program. when i search for the problem it says i need alsa-oss, but it also says this cannot be installed.
Im new to linux and was just wondering — can i just launch fce ultra via a script in the terminal like im doing for zsnes?
thanks!

OpenGL graphics are a little twitchy with compiz enabled 😦

GFCE constantly hard locks on me using my Dell mini 9 😦
Not overheating, since I can peg CPU for hours with other progs no problem….

Hi,
thanks, but my audio seems to be slow and…crackley (that’s the best way i can put it, i guess). Any ideas on what it could be? FYI, i’m very new to linux.
Thanks!

having some major problems with the sound. sounds extremely laggy
November 11, 2009 at 12:20 am
I’ve been using GFCE for a while now and there appears to be a problem with ubuntu switching to the new sound drivers. anyone got any work around for this?
December 31, 2009 at 3:03 pm
This emualtor sucks dick! It always screws up the sound !
March 4, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Or also, one can use from the console:
sudo apt-get install gfceu
None the less, this helped me to refresh myself from this very cool emulator I missed.
