It may be possible using WINE on Linux, but then again, maybe not.  WINE is kind of hit-or-miss.

Freebox use Visual Basic as language and hence it not portable to Linux (Freebox also use a lots of Windows calls)....

I could port MultiFE to Linux, but by now its by hold. But should not take that long.
Decade Old Work: MultiFE, ArcadeMusicBox
Today Works: Various Spectrum Next games from Rusty Pixels and html5 games.

The older versions use active movie and the new ones link into media player i am not sure if either can be supported by wine. I think the old V2 had some success running under wine but the newer versions no.

Ahh, ok.

I'm fairly new to linux (well, modern linux anyway), so I'm still exploring a lot of stuff.  Still can't get MAME up and running, lol.   :banghead:
