I have spent some thoughts about how to arrange information regarding game console emulators which are either added newly to FreeBSD or are getting a meaningful modification.
Since I know that there is interest into that topic, and users are unhappy of how for example dolphin-emu forces audio servers either through src building or installing from Fresh Ports through pkg, I thought that I want to have a thread open where I can post recent additions, changes, or modifications regarding game console emulators.
I have requested an account at FreeBSD Bugzilla, but it will take time until I can log in, and submit new ports or updates to existing ports.
During my past experiences on this forum I also noticed that some users might have some special requests so, this thread should also serve for requests.
Now for my recent addition.
I am finished with a new switch emulator port called eden.
Eden can be used as a replacement to the now deprecated emulators/yuzu port as it ensures compatibility with new games, and general performance improvements.
Since it can take weeks or months before that port is officially added to Fresh Ports, I thought that I want to provide it another way for the meanwhile.
If someone wants to try it out, here is the emulators/eden port currently available, until it gets added officially to fresh ports.
Hopefully this way emulator availability and generally better emulator ports which make users happy, instead of making them rage will come into existence.
A side note taken from my comments, I noticed that some people have a preference towards the Sudachi switch emulator available for Windows, MAC OSX, Linux, and iOS.
If the interest is there I could see and make a Sudachi port for FreeBSD, too, if eden is not enough or somewhere introduces breakages in compatibility, Sudachi for example, hasn't.
