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

Install dependencies required for building on Debian-based Linux distributions:

apt-get install build-essential autoconf autoconf-archive automake autotools-dev libarchive-dev libepoxy-dev libfltk1.3-dev libsamplerate0-dev libsdl2-dev zlib1g-dev

To build using Autotools (optional arguments in square brackets):

autoreconf -vif
./configure [--enable-doc]
make

Optionally:

make install

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

# Build
autoreconf -vif
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig/
./configure [--enable-doc]
make [install]

To build the win32 solution with Visual Studio 2010:

1. Ensure you have the DirectX 9 SDK
2. Manually zip NstDatabase.xml to the destination source/core/database/NstDatabase.zip
3. Open projects/nestopia.sln
4. Build in release mode
