zsnes (SNES emulator)

ZSNES is a Super Nintendo emulator programmed by zsKnight and _Demo_.
On April 2, 2001 the ZSNES project was GPL'ed and its source released
to the public. It currently runs on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and DOS.

The original zsnes developers' last release was 1.51, in 2007. This
build is for xyproto's fork, which is still maintained as of 2026,
and now supports CPUs other than 32-bit x86.

Build options (environment variables):

- AO=no - disable libao for audio output. Removes all audio output
  drivers except SDL. Probably not useful.

- DEBUGGER=no - disable the built-in debugger. May give a slight speed
  boost on old/slow systems.

- PIPEWIRE=yes - build with pipewire audio support. NOT for Slackware
  15.0 (its pipewire is too old); you might try this on -current (but
  it's not tested by the SlackBuild maintainer).

This requires: SDL3
