Re: Bug#811214: RFS: retroarch/1.3.0-1 [ITP]

[rondom@rondom.de]

I had a look at libretro-mupen64plus (out of curiosity only). I saw that
it bundles a copy of mupen64plus and its modules.

Due to the fact that Mupen64plus can be used as a library and it is
already in Debian I am wondering in how far this copy differs from the
upstream mupen64plus.
Given that emulators handle a lot of untrusted data from various
(sometimes shady) sources I am wondering whether it is possible/feasible
to use the already packaged mupen64plus with libretro.

I am not very familiar with libretro, so please excuse my ignorance.
