EXE on Linux

Windows sucks. so i duel-booted Linux and windows and like linux's speed and stability but i don't know how to install stuff. i downloaded a NES emulator for linux and installed it so now i have emulator.exe or something like that but when i try to make it run, it asks what to run it with. how do you use .exe programs in linux?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You don't--rather, you'd need something like WINE to use them.
If you think you downloaded a Linux version and got an EXE, you were grievously misled.

Generally speaking, you'll need either binaries or source. What distro do you use?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It'd probably be better to find a comparable Linux NES emulator, of course...

Most amazing jew boots

FCEUltra works just fine in Linux, though configuring it can be a bit tricky. My suggestion, however, is that you learn how to use your operating system before you try to play games on it, otherwise you're going to be posting a lot more threads like this one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Get one of these, they are all Unix/Linux NES emulators.

And I second Magic's suggestion to learn what you are doing first. Some reading and tinkering will save you a great deal of time. You learn a *lot* more about things if you investigate them yourself instead of asking for help.

Erm, not to say asking for help should be discouraged, just that it should be a last resort when learning a new system.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Or at least ask in the appropriate place. Google is one such place, and there are probably message boards with more Linux users than Gamingforce out there.

How ya doing, buddy?
