Emulation Tools[edit]

Made a game for another system, and want to give it GNU/Linux support without porting it?

  • DOSBox is a free software emulator for MS-DOS programs.
  • Wine is a free software compatibility layer for Microsoft Windows programs, allowing you to run them on top of GNU/Linux.
  • Darling is a free software compatibility layer for macOS programs, attempting to run them on top of GNU/Linux.
  • Cygwin is a Unix-like subsystem that can run on top of Windows, allowing Linux applications to be recompiled for it easily.
  • WSL runs an instance of Linux on top of Windows, allowing Linux applications to run.

Note: in general we recommend a native port as they run better than emulation-based solutions.
