It may be necessary to install it beforehand. On macOS, using homebrew:\n\n```\n$ brew install sdl2\n```\n\nOther systems/package managers should provide similar `sdl2`/`libsdl2` packages. Then use the `go get`:\n\n```\n$ go get github.com/rbaron/awesomenes\n$ awesomenes MY_ROM.nes\n```\n\n# Status\n\nGames that use the [mapper](http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Mapper) 0 (NROM) mostly work, although without audio so far. Games that use mapper 4 (mmc3) should work with some eventual glitches. \n\nTested games:\n\n- Donkey Kong (NROM)\n- Super Mario Bros. (NROM)\n- Super Mario Bros. 2 (mmc3)\n- Super Mario Bros. 3 (mmc3, with some glitches)\n\n# Controller inputs\n\n## Keyboard (controller 1)\n\n```\nArrow keys  -\u003e NES arrows\nA           -\u003e NES A\nS           -\u003e NES B\nEnter       -\u003e NES start\nRight shift -\u003e NES select\n```\n\n## Nintendo Switch Joycon (controller 1)\n\n```\nDirectional -\u003e NES arrows\nDown arrow  -\u003e NES A\nRight arrow -\u003e NES B\nSL          -\u003e NES select\nSR          -\u003e NES start\n```\n\n# Roadmap\n\n✅ CPU emulation\n\n✅ Video support (picture processing unit - PPU)\n\n✅ Keyboard input\n\n✅ Mapper 0\n\n✅ Joystick input (tested with Nintendo Switch Joycon)\n\n✅ Mapper 4 (...kinda)\n\n➖ More mappers\n\n➖ Save state\n\n➖ Audio support (audio processing unit - APU)\n\n\n# Resources\n\nAll the information used to build this emulator was found on the awesome [nesdev wiki](https://wiki.nesdev.com).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frbaron%2Fawesomenes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frbaron%2Fawesomenes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frbaron%2Fawesomenes/lists"}
