# retrovnc
|
|
|
|
A fully headless Libretro frontend that exports a VNC server for display and input.
|
|
|
|
In layman terms, this lets you play games over VNC. Which isn't all that great, but hey.
|
|
|
|
This is mostly a "fun project" and consists mostly of code I already wrote.
|
|
|
|
# Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- A C++ toolchain
|
|
- A Rust toolchain.
|
|
|
|
# Building
|
|
|
|
`$ cargo b --release`
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
Make the following directories where you will run retrovnc in:
|
|
|
|
- `config`
|
|
- `system`
|
|
- `save`
|
|
|
|
These folders are used either by retrovnc or cores to store data.
|
|
|
|
For the most basic usecase:
|
|
|
|
`$ retrovnc --core <CORE> --rom <ROM>` (see `retrovnc --help` for more options)
|
|
|
|
E.g: to use swanstation (assuming you have placed requirements in the system folder):
|
|
|
|
`retrovnc --core cores/swanstation_libretro.so --rom roms/my_game.cue`
|
|
|
|
After launching a core for the first time, a TOML file in config/ is created to allow you to set core options. You may use this file to set any option given by the core.
