TuxNES is an emulator for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System.
|
|
It is based on Nestra, a great public-domain NES emulator by Quor.
|
|
TuxNES adds many features not found in Nestra, and uses a more
|
|
collaborative development model. Enhancements to Nestra often find
|
|
their way into TuxNES. Enhancements to TuxNES don't generally find
|
|
their way into Nestra due to licensing restrictions (since pieces
|
|
of TuxNES are generally copyrighted by their authors, and covered by
|
|
the GNU General Public License), although similar changes by the same
|
|
authors sometimes find their way back into Nestra.
|
|
|
|
TuxNES requires an x86-family processor.
|
|
|
|
If you would also like to install GTuxNES (a graphical launcher
|
|
for TuxNES), download its source tarball and place it in the same
|
|
directory as the SlackBuild. The GTuxNES homepage is:
|
|
http://www.scottweber.com/projects/gtuxnes/
|
|
|
|
The GTuxNES site appears to be down, but the source is mirrored here:
