NES plugin - a proposal

Neither do I, but I made the (relatively safe, I think) assumption that docs/GPL2 wasn't just for show (going by the source archives at what appears to be the official site). ;)
LambdaCalculus:
If it isn't GPL, it's not going to be allowed into the source. I hope everyone's clear on that.
ComposerDude and I made the choice of TuxNES and FCE Ultra because those are definitely GPL, and it's stated about as obvious as a monsoon that they are. Plus, TuxNES is lightweight, clean, nicely commented, and the code is easy to go through. FCE Ultra will fill in the blanks for TuxNES by offering mapping and sound support.
I've done a little bit of work trying to code TuxNES for Rockbox, but so far there's nothing to show that's worthwhile; I can just make a black screen, and that's it.
Back to XEmacs I go...

Yeah I know about the GPL thing. I'm 99% sure it's GPL'd. There is a file docs/GPL2 (obviously containing the text of the GPL v2) in the tarball. It could be some cruel japanese practical joke though.
vi > emacs :D
Though I prefer kate...

You know Richard Stallman doesn't joke about the GPL. He has the katana to prove it. ;)

My laptop, my choice of distro (Kubuntu), and my choice of text edior. ;)
More work on the plugin to be done, it seems...
ComposerDude:
I think the essence of what is being done is not in a spirit of competition, but the core of all things open source is a spirit of choice; the choice of licensure, the choice of method, the choice of product, the choice to do better. What we're working on here I think has less to do with must we do it, but can we do it, and can it be done to the best of what we are able.
InfoNES, being japanese... hahaha. I'm kidding about that.
The purpose of this project isn't "I want another emulator." I started asking about this because I wanted to work on my coding skills, I wanted to relieve the core devs of some of the flack from people wanting to game, and I wanted to offer something that may add back into rockbox dev someday.
And then interest peaked, and people came together to make this 'we', because those who are interested are that way mainly because of the goals of Rockbox. Making a better sounding DAP.
Enjoy your coffee, fellow travellers, and peace out.
ComposerDude
