The SNES (AKA Super Famicom in Japan) was one of most popular consoles of all time, and as computers have become more powerful, SNES emulators have become amongst the most popular emulators.
There is a very good SNES Emulator called ZSNES for the Linux version of the Acer Aspire One, it runs very well and it’s easy to install.
To install ZSNES on the Acer Aspire One:
- Right click on the Desktop to display the Advanced Menu.
- Go to the System tab, select the Add\Remove Software option.
- Enter your Admin password and click on Ok to open the software installation application.
- Click on the Search Tab and enter ZSNES into the Text box and click on search.
- Check the tick box next to ZSNES and click on Apply.
- ZSNES will now install and will be available in the games section in the Advanced Mode Menu.

There are several ways of watching Tv on the Linux Version of the Acer Aspire One.
I’ve already covered in these articles how to watch BBC IPlayer, BBC Live Channels and ITV Player, but I’ve found a great site which streams most of the Freeview Channels through a web browser.
There is a new Brilliant site for streaming TV channels including most of the Freeview channels
The site is TVCatchup.com and as long as you have a British based ISP you can choose to watch live streams of a number of TV Channels including: All BBC channels, all ITV Channels, Dave, Sky news Channels and several more.
The video streaming works really well and the Acer Aspire One handles the video very well even when full screen.
A total list of available channels is shown below:
