Yes but only commodore 64, amiga emulators and retro emu in general. I do not 
like nowdays games.I don't like to spend more than 30 minutes to understand 
how to play.

Linux and W$ it depends how the emu works.

iie

iie :)

I have dual boot but not only for my C64 emu. I have to use W$ for other 
software, like Cisco routers emulators. The guys at Cisco, maybe think that 
if you want to have a Cisco IT certification you do not use Linux.... I don't 
understand them...

Sure! So my friends buy games and I'll copy :-P

mmmm no.

I think that it's difficult that we'll see linux versions for most famous 
games, because the more important problem is: Linux is still used by few 
people that almost all them have a computer knowledge greater than the media. 
I have a lot of friends that need help to install games on W$. For that 
people that can't understand the philosophy of "next... next.... next... 
finish" for installation, Linux is something pretty far from their minds. The 
big market is of that people that do not have idea about computers. A lot of 
people think that W$ is something natural to computers and they can't imagine 
a computer without W$. It's sad! Games companies need to sell so if more 
people use Linux they can consider Linux users as a market. So I think that 
the first object is to encourage people to use Linux, the rest, will come 
automatically.
