Hello! Is there any plan of or success getting this to run in linux? I've not had luck sadly, not that I'm super versed in the magic of wine or anything. Half asking if developer has insight on it & half if community does, no results when I search "synthnes" and "linux" so now there'll be at least 1 result :)

I don't have any experience running SynthNes on wine, but you'll probably need to set up serial over USB for it. Here are some random links that I found that might help

Thank you much! Unfortunately I've not had luck launching the app at all, so still on the first hurdle before any USB connectivity issues would come into play. Any interest or plans to open-source its code for longevity of project/ opening up to others potentially porting it?

I've considered releasing the c# application and the main NES routine code, but the project was developed with such a fervorish pace that the guts are pretty messy and a bit of a structural embarrassment.

Basically the code is too ugly to share publicly haha.

That is unfortunate to hear! I would think of the application's future & benefits in having it be accessible/ usable for community for preservation's sake, far too many niche tools lost to time as developer(s) move on or are no longer with us :)
