Besides MAME, does anyone know any good video game or system emulators for Linux that are fully functional?

Specifically I'm looking for a quality Commodore 64 Emulator, Turbo Grafx-16, and Commodore Amiga to start off with.

Thank you for any help provided!

(Also, one other smaller question: What's a link to a good USB controlled 2+ port device that's fully compatible with linux that will convert either PS2 or XBOX controllers to PC? - I have one that does it for the PS2 joypads but it freezes linux. Not compatible at all, unfortunately)

Whoa, no one else emulates video game systems on their Linux boxes? Come on people, you can't be THAT serious :)

zsnes and gen work pretty good for SNES and Genesis. Controller-wise, I think you can use an Xbox 360 controller since they're USB, but I dunno how well they work in Linux. Madcatz makes a decent one with a better D-pad than the Microsoft controllers for $25.
