Description Corith Malin 2002-04-01 23:56:05 UTC
Attatched is the ebuild of a program called TuxNES, which is an NES (not SNES)
emulator.  This was a really easy one to make.  According to the INSTALL and
README file there are no previous dependances, (how it does graphics on console
I'm not sure, but X is an option in the config), just the option to compile with
X, which I linked to SVGA (is this correct?).  It depends on nothing not already
in the Portage tree.

Hello, 
This bug was recently resurrected and assigned to me. I don't mind 'doing' it, 
but there's no ebuild attachement. Please attach it or, if there's trouble with 
that, send it to me at danarmak@gentoo.org. 
Comment 2 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-06-05 14:45:17 UTC
I'm not going to add an ebuild myself. I looked at the site and didn't patricularly like it anyway. And there's a nes emulator in portage already (forget which). 
Comment 3 Marshall T. Vandegrift 2002-12-03 01:22:58 UTC
As far as I can tell, the only 8-bit NES emulator currently in portage is
DarcNES, which is a low-feature multi-emulator that appears no longer to be in
development.

TuxNES may also be abandoned (I haven't tried to contact the maintainer), but it
is an NES-only emulator that works well, is open-source, and supports both
native X and GGI renderers.

Please find attached an ebuild for tuxnes-0.75 and a patch to help it play nice
with portage.
