This is really quite nice. Good sound, reasonable framerate (though it's
too slow in doublesize mode on my laptop), free. Seems to have better
colours than nestra. Save games, joystick, etc.

It seems to like to segfault on some common games unless you find the
right switches to run it with. That said, it is faster, has good sound,
and runs in double size mode with good gameplay here (no suprise; the
nestra architecture is rather excellent for speed..). The link to
gtuxnes is broken.  No save games support that I could see.


Anyone want to package either of these up? If so I will remove nestra,
as either is is plainly better. I'd hope that any of these would be
enough to remove nasty old binary-only, orphaned ines.
