C64-emulator for Linux
M.O.B. i L.
looked at VICE but I couldn't find any binaries. VICE is also not
available in the distribution for Eeebuntu.
I've tried to run the Windows-version (WinVICE) using Wine in Linux but
it didn't work -- probably because of DirectX.
I did try an Apple II-emulator for Windows (AppleWin) that worked using
Wine in Linux.

Get the source for vice and build it - it builds for linux. I'm currently running the SDL port in linux console on Ubuntu with no GUI, so I can vouch for its functionality

- there are debian packages, and there are packages in the ubuntu
repositories too. open eyes, use brain (tm)
- the emu doesnt work right away, because you have choosen a distro made by
religious zealots. you have to find the ROMs seperately and install them.

Add the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources
deb http://debian.trikaliotis.net/ stable contrib
deb-src http://debian.trikaliotis.net/ stable contrib
then update the package cache and install the vice package.
See http://www.trikaliotis.net/debian for details.

This kind of gymnastics is not needed.

How lucky you are!

Take the rpm. For my suse I have installed: ccs64, noUSDc64 and vice.
I'm not sure, which fits best for you.

I did install this 2.2 and x64 works except for sound (I got the ROMs
from WinVICE). It says, "Cannot open '/dev/dsp' for writing". And
displays a dialog box about "uss". Before that I installed 1.22 from
Ubuntu standard repos. In that version sound worked. (When I said I
couldn't find it in the distribution I meant the GUI Add/Remove Programs
that Eeebuntu has.)
When I try to make 2.2 larger or full screen it doesn't become bigger --
only a black border becomes larger. I've not tested this with 1.22 (full
screen) but there I couldn't resize the window.

I could get scaling of scree to work in 1.22 by switching on Hardware
scaling in Settings/VIC II.

They are called x64 or x128. And some others.

There should be a menu named settings or preferences -> sound -> device
where you can select alsa. As a last resort you could start x64 from
shell with "aoss x64".

Yeah... that is due to one of those issues of completely free software
only.. What you can do is download VICE using apt-get (standard
debian feature on Ubuntu and varieties) but it won't have any of the
ROM files. So you can copy the ROM files over from the windows version
of VICE that is easily obtainable. That is what I did. However, be
warned - the version of VICE you get through apt-get is a bit out of
date, but should work.

VICE is available in the standard repos of Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but to my
surprise (just checked) not in Debian. Don't know about Eeebuntu, but why
not just download the source and compile it?
I don't know of any alternative emulator, but I know there's nothing as good
as VICE.

does this help?
I suspect you will not find any binaries for linux because of linux work
like that.

There is a 'vice' package in Ubuntu, but it is slightly out of date
and the ROM images are missing from it.
You're better off getting the source code from the VICE homepage
at http://www.viceteam.org/#download and compiling it yourself. If
you're unsure about how to do that, have a look at this howto:

wide variety of architectures Linux runs on (and longstanding Unix
tradition.) If you've never built an application from source before,
this would be a good time to give it a try, as you'll need to do it
now and again if you're a serious Linux user. Do you know how to do
this?
commodorejohn
the absurdly wide variety of architectures that *nix runs on (and
longstanding tradition.) If you've never built an application from
source before, this would be a good time to start, since it's a skill
you'll need for serious Linux use. Do you know how to use make?

I couldn't find the emulator for Linux on the VICE website..
Starnge, because I thought there was a Linux version too..
But here you can download the Linux version:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/emulators/commodore
Good luck, SAM
Sam
Strang it is no longer on the VICE website.

Compile the sources.
And, anyway, you haven't looked hard enough. In Ubuntu, there are
different levels of packages: the normal, supported ones, the universe
(not officially supported by Canonical but by the community) and the
multiverse (not free). And, guess what ?
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/v/vice/ , that's what.
Probably you just forgot to enable the multiverse.
Why not free? Probably because of the roms, but that's only a guess.

Uhm, those files are dated 1998-1999. Quite a few things have
happened to VICE since then. Not to mention those binaries
most likely link to library files that are quite hard to come
by these days.
The reason you don't find a Linux binary at the viceteam.org
site is that most Linux users either install via the packing
system of their distro or compile from source code.

Google "vice emulator ubuntu" and you'll find ubuntu binaries...it's
also in the ubuntu repositories.

Debian repositories DO have vice, but not ROMS. To get best results, I
suggest you to download the source and compile it. You need to download
some development packages to get it working, but on Debian you should be
able to download the correct dev packages with APT with one simple command.
first download the VICE source and untar it.
Then log in as a root and type
apt-get build-dep vice
then go into vice source directory then type
./configure
then make
then make install
If everything goes right, you should have a working VICE in your computer.
