- Description:
- ares is an open-source multi-system emulator with a focus on accuracy and
preservation. It is a descendant of the emulators higan and bsnes. It's source
code is structured to be maximally readable and self-documenting.
ares supports the following systems: Arcade, WonderSwan, WonderSwan Color,
Pocket Challenge V2, ColecoVision, PC-Engine / TurboGrafx, SuperGrafx, My
Vision, NES / Famicom, Famicom Disk System, SNES / Super Famicom, Satellaview,
Sufami Turbo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo 64DD, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy
Advance, SG-1000, Master System / Mark III, Mega Drive / Genesis, Mega CD, 32X,
Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color
ares has experimental support for the following systems: Atari 2600, MSX, MSX2,
PC-Engine CD / TurboGrafx CD, ZX Spectrum, Neo Geo (AES/MVS), PlayStation
ares has all the features one would expect from a great emulator system: native
multi-platform UI, dynamic rate control, save states, run-ahead, rewind and
fast-forward, pixel shaders, color correction, input multi-mapping, debugger
ares uses librashader for its pixel shader engine. This means it is highly
compatible with existing slang shaders, e.g. the slang-shaders from libretro.

- Options name:
- emulators_ares
- USES:
- compiler:c++17-lang gmake gnome localbase:ldflags pkgconfig xorg gl openal sdl sdl
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- Users are encouraged to compile the port on their systems with
CFLAGS ?= -O3
CPUTYPE ?= native | ... | x86-64-v3 | ... | skylake | ...
WITH_LTO = yes
This can improve the performance of demanding cores like the N64.
The port provides the HOTKEYS option. This applies an inofficial patch which
locks all hotkey execution in the unpaused state of the emulator. This can be a
convenience for gamepad-only users who want to assign hotkey actions to gamepad
buttons but who don't have enough free unassigned buttons left on the gamepad.
The port uses the shaders from games/libretro-shaders-slang by default. Users
can curate and utilize their own provided collection of shaders by putting them
into the user data directory
${HOME}/.local/share/ares/Shaders/
ares won't process its own installed shaders if it finds any shaders in the user
data directory. Delete or rename the local shaders directory in order to make
ares use its own shaders again.

emulators/ares: Update 139.20240825 → 140
Release note:
https://ares-emu.net/news/ares-v140-released
Starting with version v140, emulators/ares will track release versions
instead of development versions.
The port applies an upstreamed patch to version v140, which resolves
the issues with NVIDIA GPUs. This obsoletes the NVIDIA port option.

emulators/ares: update 139.20240809 → 139.20240823
The most notable change to the port is my inclusion of an inofficial
patch to control the behaviour of hotkey execution in the emulator.
This patch is behind the HOTKEYS option, disabled by default.
This patch won't be accepted upstream with its current scope.
Currently hotkeys share the binding space with regular game inputs.
This can be problematic for gamepad-only users who want to bind some
hotkey functions (screenshots, save state, load state, quit emulator,
etc...) to gamepad buttons but who don't have enough unassigned buttons
left on the gamepad. The patch prevents the execution of hotkey actions
unless the emulator is paused. This way users can assign many hotkey
actions to gamepad buttons and access them with pausing the emulator.
Commit changes:
https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/compare/a76847d..3cd82c8
Port changes:
* add HOTKEYS option, disabled by default
* remove upstreamed 'unbreak i386 build' patch
* use SUB_LIST to update recommended librashader version in pkg-message
* replace 'doas' with 'su' in pkg-message - 'doas' is not in base
