Here's some basic instructions on compiling FCEUGX. You don't need to be a developer to follow these instructions but you should have some basic computer know-how.

Instructions

1. Use the devkitPro installer to get started. Install devkitPPC (Wii/GameCube)
2. Update using Pacman
   pacman -Syu
3. Install portlibs (dependencies) using devkitPro Pacman
   pacman -S ppc-bzip2 ppc-freetype ppc-libjpeg-turbo ppc-libogg ppc-libpng ppc-libvorbisidec ppc-mpg123 ppc-mxml ppc-pkg-config ppc-zlib
4. Setup libogc2 with the instructions here: https://github.com/extremscorner/libogc2
5. Replace libfreetype with an older version. The most current version isn't stable.
   • Files: https://github.com/dborth/fceugx/tree/master/buildtools
   • Copy to (example): C:\devkitPro\portlibs\ppc\lib
6. Use the git command line or your favorite IDE to checkout the code. Eclipse is a good free option - https://eclipseide.org/
7. Run 'make' from the command line from within the project directory to build
8. A dol will be written to the executables directory
