## About
2013-01-03 20:06:24 -05:00
This project is a fork of the original Nestopia source code, plus the
2020-12-15 19:25:55 -05:00
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.

2022-08-30 22:21:46 -04:00
* 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
