Fceu-gui is a graphical frontend for FCE Ultra, a NES/Famicom emulator.

After some playing around with FCE Ultra (fceu, recently mentioned in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...highlight=fceu), I experienced it as a better emulator than the already available iNES emulator (at least in terms of speed and sound quality). So it deserved some graphical interface

The key configuration is done by calling fceu itself. Roms must be in ".nes" format (game roms) or ".nsf" format (NES Sound Format). They can be (g)zipped or non-(g)zipped.

Reserved(?) in-game keys:
Both fceu and fceu-gui can be found in the extra-devel repo.

Extensions:
Game Genie:
This was a cheating cartridge made for several consoles.
In order to use it: find the Game Genie rom for the NES and place it in "/home/user/.fceultra/", giving it the name "gg.rom".
Then after starting Fceu-gui, it should be checkable in the config screen. Starting a game then, will bring you in the Game Genie screen first. There you can enter your cheat codes that can be found on the internet. Uncheck it in the config screen if you no longer want to use it.
Famicom Disk System:
This was an extension to start games from some kind of floppy disc system. It was only released in Japan. Only a limited amount of games was released this way.
To use it: place this system rom (disksys.rom, 8kB) in "/home/user/.fceultra/" and start your .fds game, (g)zipped or not.

FCE Ultra cheat files:
Can be found on http://www.zophar.net/cheats/nes.html
Put the ".cht" files in "/home/user/.fceultra/cheats/"
