KDEAddons-Emulation 3.5.3
The general puropse of this package is the full desktop integration of all available emulators and virual machines for the linux operating system. Using kde and its basic components, it is possible to reduce the setup and access up to a minimum.
To get a small overview, feel free to read the documentation and install the deb or rpm package which should run on every distribution.

I'm developing emuexec and kdeaddons-emulation on kubuntu. Its tested on edgy and dapper and has no problems like this at all.
What does dpkg -l "Package" show ?
Have you tried to download it again ?
Is emuexec installable using dpkg -i ?

Everything should be correct. If errors occur, the package you have downloaded must be from your browser cache, so try to clear it.

Now It's your task to gimme feedback and wishes for the next release :)
By the way .... proper ducumentation and online tutorial will be in the next version.
currently, man emuexec will be your friend.
Or just go to startmenu -> emulation -> Online -> Documentation for the half outdated documentation.

Please test it again in 1 hour and make clear that your browser-cache was cleared.

Then you can test it an gimme feedback. As already mentioned, emuexec should work in every distribution, so if you wanna test, just install and edit emuexec.conf by hand.
If you want to skip this, just use commandline options which are used prior to emuexec.conf.

openSUSE puts regular programs in /usr, KDE programs in /opt/kde3 and GNOME programs in /opt/gnome. There are other programs that get put under /opt, but for the most part, those are the ones that count.
Fedora Core distros place everything under /usr and don't put anything in /opt at all. So the only difference between an openSUSE package and a Fedora package is that openSUSE needs the KDE stuff in /opt/kde3, and Fedora needs the KDE stuff in /usr. You're right; since emuexec is supposed to be generic, it should be in /usr in both.

error: Failed dependencies:
perl(emuexec_joystick) is needed by emuexec-1.2-2.i386
What package do I need (there is no emuexec_joystick)

Did you try to install it with skipping this warning ?
After this, just try "joyhelper -i" to verify that emuhelper is running correctly and gimme the result.

joyhelper -i
prints:
Error: cannot open /dev/input/js0
Which is correct (I don't have a joystick)

You can just forget this dependency cause emuexec_joystick.pm is already in the emuexec-package. It gets required by emuhelper as a perl mod using a simple trick. I just dont wanted to look up all distributions for the corret pathes of perl mods, so for emuexec and all helper applications, /usr/share/emulation/lib/generic is the right path. Maybe in the next version I will include emuexec_joystick into joyhelper to solve this problem. For now, just add /usr/share/emulation/lib/generic to the search path of perl your perl mods.
