How to setup

Compiling the code

First of all, install the dependencies executing the script:

apt-get update

apt-get -y install g++ 

apt-get -y install cmake libgtk-3-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev

After that, run the following commands to compile the source code:

export COMPILE_GUI=true 

make generate-buildsystem

make build-cmake

Now, the executable is ready, the following command starts the emulation:

./build/main <path_of_a_rom_file>

Using a pre-compiled binary

In progress(feel free to add this method of setup)
