Nofrendo seems pretty nice -- I hadn't heard of that project.  At first
look, it appears quite portable.  It now seems to me that there are a
lot of competing NES emulators which are very similar.  Could someone
explain the reason for this?  Perhaps you could start with why TuxNES
forked from its parent project.  Jim, why did you port the nofrendo engine
to TuxNES instead of just modifying nofrendo to run on the Dreamcast?
