ROM's on linux

Linux Gaming@level-up.zoneEnglish · 10 months ago

I downloaded a lot of ROM’s on my desktop under windows and I’m looking to change to Linux for reasons. My questions is would I have to reinstall all those ROM’s if i change to Linux or will Linux just read the ROM’s? I have a 6TB hdd that is specifically for emulation so there is no OS on that drive.

Just like windows, you need an emulator. There’s plenty of good ones, the most popular being RetroArch (which has a Steam client so you can just download it).
