Bug#598968: bsnes and mednafen
The latest stable versions of Mednafen, including the stable and
unstable packages in Debian, do not have any SNES support. However, it
looks like there is a WIP/Dev version of Medafen that includes bsnes to
emulate SNES. Our Debian experimental repository includes a Mednafen
WIP version, and looking at Emil's log it looks like the Debian
experimental version supports SNES to some degree.
I've been using Mednafen for several years. I like it. In the last few
weeks I've used it to play Zelda Minish Cap for GBA and Zelda Oracle of
Seasons for Gameboy. I didn't know that there were plans to include SNES
support before today.
The reason I created a bsnes package for Debian and tried to put it in
the repositories is because I wanted a great SNES emulator in Debian
(zsnes is only OK). I haven't found a Debian Developer who wants the
same thing enough to sponsor me, though.
Useless? Certainly not. It would be great to see bsnes in Debian,
either as its own package or in mednafen.
