🌸 MEDNAFEN(6) — the games manual, but make it cute 🌸

okay so bestie, this is mednafen(6), living in the Games Manual section. yes the section number is 6. no we're not gonna argue about it. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mednafen — a multi-system emulator 👑

like. multiple systems. one program. she contains multitudes fr fr.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mednafen [options] romfile

that's the whole vibe. you give her options, you give her a romfile, and she does her thing. periodt. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so, Mednafen is a command-line driven emulator for many different systems. not one system. not two. many. she's giving versatility, she's giving range, she's the main character of your terminal. 😭🫶

and the feature list?? bestie, sit down. she has full support for:

• OpenGL and SDL graphics — visuals? handled. 🦋
• network play — yes you can play with your friends, no you don't have to be in the same room, iconic behavior honestly 🌈
• sound output via various methods (Esound, Jack, etc.) — the "etc." is doing a lot of heavy lifting there and we respect it 💜
• remappable input configuration</remappable> — wait no, not that tag, just: remappable input configuration. your keys, your rules, your era ✨
• joystick and keyboard support — plug it in, smash the keys, it's all valid 🎮
• save states — save mid-anything, because who has time to replay the whole level 🙈
• game rewinding — REWINDING. you made a mistake? un-make it. the past is a suggestion. 💀
• screenshots — proof it happened, for the group chat 📸

like, that's the whole list, and honestly? ate. no crumbs. 🔥
