Cross-platform Nestopia emulator core with a GUI

About

This project is a fork of the original Nestopia source code, plus the Linux port. The purpose of the project is to make sure people who want a standalone GUI for the Nestopia emulator have this option available.

Current Project Goals:

• Maintain a functional GUI for the Nestopia emulator on Linux, BSD, and Windows platforms

Contributing/Issues:

• Contributions will be reviewed for anything related to the standalone GUI builds
• Issues related to core emulation will be closed. This project no longer maintains the core emulator.
• When not using a tagged release, please understand that the code is volatile and nothing is set in stone.

The following platforms are supported:

• Linux, BSD, Windows

Libretro notes: The libretro port is no longer maintained in this repo, and is now maintained by the libretro community. For libretro-specific issues, please use the libretro repository: https://github.com/libretro/nestopia

This project depends on the following libraries: FLTK 1.3, SDL2, libarchive, zlib
