Nestopia is a portable open source NES/Famicom emulator written in C++.
It is designed to be as accurate as possible and supports a large number
of peripherals.
Nestopia UE (Undead Edition) is a fork of the original source code, with
enhancements from members of the emulation community.
Compiling
=========
Linux:
* Make sure you have the proper development libraries installed.
In Debian:
apt-get install libglew-dev libsdl2-dev libgtk-3-dev libarchive-dev libao-dev
* cd to the nestopia source directory:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make
* Install globally and add menu entries:
sudo make install
Free/Open/NetBSD:
* Make sure you have GNU make and all dependencies installed from ports,
pkgsrc or binary packages. Also make sure to have xdg-utils installed.
* cd to the nestopia source directory:
gmake
* Install globally and add menu entries:
sudo gmake install
Modes
=====
* CLI mode has a command line interface only.
* GUI mode has a GTK+ GUI, and is *nix only.
* CLI mode should work on any platform, and GUI builds can be disabled
by modifying the Makefile accordingly. Comment lines 32-42 to build
a CLI-only binary. Binaries with support for a GUI can still be run
in CLI mode.
Post-Installation
=================
* Copy the Famicom Disk System rom (not included) to ~/.nestopia:
cp disksys.rom ~/.nestopia/disksys.rom
Configuration
=============
* CLI mode can only be configured by editing the config files or passing
command line arguments.
* GUI mode can be configured by editing config files, passing arguments,
or from the Configuration window.
* Config files: ~/.nestopia/nestopia.conf and ~/.nestopia/input.conf
Patching
========
* For soft-patching to work, the patch must be in the same directory as
the rom, and the filename must be exactly the same as the rom
filename, but with the .ips extension.
