Roadmap

-Support for more UNIF boards and more NES/Famicom input devices
-Rewind functionality
-Debugger improvements (APU state display, memory editor, scripting, etc.)
-Shaders
-Improvements to movie file format to support a few things that currently do not work
-RAR file support
-Libretro support
-TAS editor

Compiling

Windows

  1. Open the solution in VS2015
  2. Compile as Release/x64
  3. Run

Linux

You will need clang/gcc, Mono/XBuild and SDL2 to compile and run Mesen under Linux. A makefile is included - running "make" and then "make run" should start the emulator.

A few limitations remain in the Linux version at the moment, which is why there is no official Linux build yet. Most importantly, gamepads/controllers are not supported.
