Sure there are a lot of good emulators for Ubuntu Linux. Emulation is about the only gaming I do really. Below are a little list to help you out in your search.

Nintendo64 - Mupen64plus - Install from software center - Works really well with really good compatibility.

Dreamcast - lxdream - http://www.lxdream.org - Works so so, not as good as NullDC under Windows. Getting better though. Needs DC BIOS to work.

Playstation 2 - PCSX2 - http://pcsx2.net/ - Only works under 32bit linux. Works really well and great compatibility. Needs PS2 BIOS to work. Real fast machine helps.

MSX & MSX2 - I'm not sure about really since I've never messed with it.

VBA-M is much better replacement for VBA.

It's spelt Desmume, with capitalisation somewhere in the word.
But yeah, it's a pretty steady emulator on Linux. But I don't think it's too partial to Windows platforms - trying to run it on WinXP, WinVista and Wi7 all resulted in hanging, or extremely laggy performance - and I'm talking one frame every three seconds laggy.

I got the same problem when running Desmume on windows, besides slow, the screen got green for som reason. When i was still using windows i used No$gbaZoom, runs 89-95 fps on average and had many features including customize zooming, rotating screen, independent screen sizing, screen detaching. Anyways, is very useful.
