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: +http://www.sourcefiles.org/Emulators/Videogames/gtuxnes-0.75.tar.gz |
