what's a good NES emulator which will talk nicely to my 360 controller?
When I tried Super Metroid a little while back I found that the game, designed to be played with a digital dpad, didn't feel quite right with either the 360 gamepad's thumbstick or dpad. You might wanna go with the keyboard for it.

Ok, will give it a go. I know the D-pad on the 360 controller is pretty awful.

It was Megaman 2 that I played before :)
Working great with my 360 pad in Nestopia

By the way, is anyone interested on backing in this project ?
After all the hell he went through with Crapcom, the man still desires to make a game through a development process that involucrates fan communities opinion and contribution.

Since I recently became a giant Linux nerd, I have to say...YAY! LINUX VERSION!
FOSS 4-EVA! PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE IS A SIN, AND EVERYONE WHO BUYS IT SHOULD BURN IN HELL!

I used to be a Linux fan (I used Kubuntu for 7 months), until I realised it was a mess to do some basic tasks and most Windows software and games wouldn't work with Wine.
Then Windows 7 came, and I've falled in love with Windows again.

Yeah, Windows 7 is really the best OS since XP. I've been super happy with it.

I really wasn't a Linux fan until recently. I always thought it was alright for what it was, but it always felt like...yeah, I'll say it...the cheap alternative to Windows. Something used by tech geeks who want to run bare metal, or crazy FOSS advocates who throw around words like "moral" and "political" when talking about software.
Things have changed quite a bit recently. The first thing I noticed was that the UI was starting to get slicker on all the distros. It looks sleek, is easy on the eyes, and is minimal in the right sorta way. It's also becoming more feature rich than Windows, which has always been bare bones, no bells and whistles compared to something like OSX. Also, font rendering is nicer on it. These days, Linux looks good and is surprisingly easy to use. You still do have to occasionally go to the terminal, but mostly just to add or remove PPAs.
Course nice looks and ease of use can only take you so far. What's the point of it all if you don't have any software for it, right? Well, I started noticing that all my favorite programs (barring one) are getting Linux ports. Same with games. With Unreal Engine 4, CryEngine, Unity, and Source making it so all you have to do to make a Linux or Mac port is press a button, games have started becoming more populous on the platform. Valve in particular are going all out with it. Of the 15 indie games I'm looking forward to, 14 of them are coming to Linux. AAA games are still a bit underrepresented, but I've got a PS3 for that.
So with everything considered, I figured hell..I'll give it a try. When I last tried this with Ubuntu 9.04, I hated it. It was hard to use dork crap. On the flipside of that, my recent experiences with Ubuntu Gnome Edition and Elementary OS (which is what I'm using now) were so good, I figured I'd dive right in and give it a try without having Windows to fall back on. I made it my main OS, and have actually really liked it.
The only sacrifice I've had to make was Photoshop, and...oh man...I miss it so much. Despite all the claims of GIMP being "just as good", let me be the first to tell you...it ain't. Nowhere near. If there's one thing that'll keep me tethered to Windows, it'll be PS.

Renzatic, did you try the last KDE interface ? If so, Which desktop environment is more accesible for the average Windows user in your opinion ?
