i dont have windows so i can not use goodNES and its closed source.

If you use Linux, BSD, or Mac OS X for x86, have you tried running it using Wine? Or do you have only Mac OS X for PowerPC?

i have linux and freebsd on a p3 and linux and osx on g4 ibook. i have not tried wine, and would rather not. i avoid anything M$. i thought the googNES tools were command line? ifso they should compile easily to any other system.

Wine is not a Microsoft product; it is an independent implementation of the Windows API. ReactOS is Wine running on an independent implementation of the NT kernel.

you're right, wine is not a M$ product. maybe worded wrong. i usually stick to native apps.

If it's command line you could use DosBox, right?
