README
gw-libretro
gw-libretro is a libretro core that runs Game & Watch simulators.
It runs simulators converted from source code for the games available at MADrigal. Each simulator is converted with pas2lua, which was written specifically for this purpose, and uses bstree, which was also specifically written to obfuscate the generated Lua source code as per MADrigal's request.
The converted games are available at libretro's buildbot site. Unpack the zip and read the README.txt for instructions.
The SNES controller, the hand cursor, and the Boxy Bold font used in gw-libretro are released under the CC0.
