nesicide

nesicide is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

This project contains:

• NESICIDE (the IDE itself)
• A NES emulator (standalone package of the emulator used in the IDE)
• FamiTrackerQT (a fork of jsr's FamiTracker)
• FamiPlayer (a music player for .ftm files)

0. Install git

1. Install Qt 5.6.2 https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.2/ as it was the latest kit to be verified to build NESICIDE properly with not errors. Please do not use a kit later than this, or if you do, please create a pull request with necessary changes.

Known issues: * C++11 support required
