Anyways, before you say so what, I must admit I have really never used linux before.
But thanks to reading up on some bash script and eeeuser.com I managed to
customize my kde environment and remove all the junk I didnt want.
It is a little intimidating when you have no idea what apt-get is or have never used gcc before.
hell even the file layout is completely different I kept looking around for program files by instinct.
But I am getting the hang of it and its only been 2 days. So I must say that this machine has impressed me. Once Asus actually unlocks the advanced mode without eeeuser hacing it I imagine it will be even more tantalizing!
even got zsnes emulator working!
I was so happy that I recorded a poop quality boring video.

I was waiting for something like this to come along...would anyone be willing to show us how to get Znes, Visual boy Advance, Nesticles, etc working? I'm very jealous right now....even jealous of the little things like your own wallpaper

Hey that's pretty darn cool. Asus should do stuff like that. It totally raises the value of this.

i tried to install zsnes through synaptic, and it came up with these scary warnings about it affecting other packages...i chose not to install it just yet cuz i'm a linux n00b and i don't want to hose my system just yet 
however, snes9x-x installed fine without such warnings, but it's the command line version...
trying to see if there's a front-end for it...

The level of amazing that this is on is just sky high. I totally can't wait to rock out the Earthbound on the train on the way to work, screw the people with their PSPs and DSs this is sooo much cooler lol.

Nice! ^_^

Can't wait to see the how to. I'm a linux noob too, but the emulators are one of the first things I hope to get on my machine when it comes in the mail next week.

I just realized this thing could be an emulator machine like the psp - psp can run ps1 (fullspeed) and most consoles before it, GBA and most handhelds before it, and n64 at nearly full speed. I bet the eee could do all that along with n64 at fullspeed.

Nice, nice, nice! Very good work. Love it!

Does 'VisualBoyAdvance' work or is there not enough performance?
And does the EEE linux support usb-gamepads?

Think of this.. Can create a DOS bookable SD cart... This gives max resources for an emulator to work... trying to find my copy of Shadow Warror to install fresh on a SD-DOS cart.
Run Mame or any of a dozen other emulators.. A portable game machine....

That is exactly what I was thinking, but he is probably too busy playing FFII or maybe even Chrono Trigger? God I am soo excited to revisit all of my old favorite SNES RPGs on the commute to work

i got my logitech dual action gamepad working with snes9x the gamepad also shows up as /dev/input/js0 if you look under Launch>Preferences>Peripheral Devices>Joystick. all the buttons and sticks function right away. now, to get snes9x to use it, i had to edit the "/etc/snes9x/snes9x.conf" file so that "Joydev1 = /dev/input/js0". now, i guess if there was a front-end for snes9x you could do all that through the menus...

sorry guys i shoulda mentioned I get off at 6pm pacific time i will have it up tonight!

Hey who said screw the psp , 1/2 the reason I got my eee was to modify my msduopro on the go
Offline
ok I know this might bug some of you, but I'm gonna have to write it tommorow as I got a little busy today.
So After work tommorow @ 7pm pacific I get home I will write and actual step by step version.
but if you feel the need to mess up your eee :
You need a working copy of 'development tools' gcc and all that jazz *instructions in the wiki*
and you need to download zsnes from here: http://www.zsnes.com/
you also need the newest version of zlib installed
the newest version of SDL installed
the newest version of libpng installed
*nost of those you can just apt-get them*
and then run the ./configure command like this
./configure --disable-debug
then make
then make install and you are done just type znes to run.
Remember though this was day like 3 of using linux, I am sure I did 100000 things wrong. so if an actual linux user wants to write a proper tutorial by all means do. If not I will write one tommorow.
Btw my system has suffered zero ill effects, and all the games run fine.
I will try a couple other emulators tommorow as well.

Did anyone manage to figure out how to do this yet, in a way us inexperienced users will understand?? Itching to play Super Mario World on the go!

zsnes actually installs really easy from the Debian repo. Here are the steps:
1. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Add the following lines:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ stable/non-US main contrib non-free
3. Save and exit
4. apt-get update
5. apt-get install zsnes
6. zsnes

Zsnes seems to run pretty slowly. Can anyone suggest some good optimizations?
