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.

Project Goals:

• Maintain a functional GUI release of the Nestopia emulator on major desktop 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. Please submit issues about core emulation upstream at https://gitlab.com/jgemu/nestopia
• 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

This project depends on the following libraries: FLTK 1.3 (1.4 preferred), SDL2, libarchive, libepoxy, libsamplerate, zlib

brew install autoconf automake autoconf-archive pkg-config libarchive libepoxy libsamplerate fltk sdl2

# Build
autoreconf -vif

# Set pkg-config to find Homebrew-installed libraries (works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs)
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix)/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix libarchive)/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
