## About
This project is a fork of the original Nestopia source code, plus the 
Linux port. The purpose of the project is to make sure people who want
a standalone GUI for the Nestopia emulator have this option available.

Current Project Goals:
* Maintain a functional GUI for the Nestopia emulator on Linux, BSD, and Windows platforms

Contributing/Issues:
* Contributions will be reviewed for anything related to the standalone GUI builds
* Issues related to core emulation will be closed. This project no longer maintains the core emulator.
* When not using a tagged release, please understand that the code is volatile and nothing is set in stone.

The following platforms are supported:
* Linux, BSD, Windows

Libretro notes:
The libretro port is no longer maintained in this repo, and is now maintained by the
libretro community. For libretro-specific issues, please use the libretro repository:
