Hmm. I really don't like the thought of adding another old dead Game Boy emulator to ports. I'm unhappy enough that people still use mednafen and vbam. Gnuboy is a real relic. These days the only Game Boy emulator people should be using is mgba or gambatte. mgba is a bit heavy on dependencies, yes (ffmpeg/ImageMagick). gambatte is not though, it just needs SDL. It's unfortunate that building the qt subpackage alongside it makes the entire build fail on archs like powerpc where qt doesn't build. But I would prefer if an effort were made to either turn gambatte and gambatte-qt into independent packages (although that might be a hack?) or just to fix qt on powerpc. -- Anthony J. Bentley
