Thanks for the info Nicolas. I haven't been following bsnes development
lately, but it seems upstream has focused on the core emulation aspect,
leaving UI to third parties (some UI still seems to be there though).
IIRC mednafen development packages include bsnes. Other frontend is ssnes.
Just writing it up so that the prospective maintainers knows what are
they getting themselves into.
