Could someone please tell me the best NES emulator to use in conjunction with RCB on Ubuntu? I have a laptop connected to my TV via HDMI cable. I would really, really appreciate it
I'm experiencing some undesirable results with Mednafen, fceux, and gfceux.
Mednafen has been the best that I have tried so far. Lots of options. I like that I can remap hotkeys to my joystick, such as Exit and Save/Load States. However, the emulation is pretty choppy. I have tried both video rendering options OpenGL and SDL. SDL is just worse. Its unnerving that my SNES emulator (SNES9x) runs games flawlessly, but the performance of Mednafen is obviously sub-par.
Issues with fceux: Runs games perfectly... but not in RCB! In RCB the frame rate is very low, and there is no sound output whatsoever. I also don't like that I can't remap hotkeys to Joystick.
Issues with gfceux: I couldn't even figure out how to get the audio to output through HDMI. Also could not remap hotkeys to Joystick.
