intent to package: nestra



http://nestra.linuxgames.com/

Nestra is a nintendo emulator for X. It's very similar to ines, which is
debianized (seems to even have the same key setup). Nestra has 2 advantages
over ines:
  
  1. It's free. Of course, nintendo ROM's arn't, so it will go in contrib.
     ines is binary-only.
  2. It compiles the nintendo 6502 code into _native_ code and exectes it. At
     least on my p-166, this does seem to make games smoother.
     
And there are 2 disadvantages:
  
  1. No sound
  2. i386-only, at least until someone ports it to other architectures.
