[Bug 316808] [NEW] [needs-packaging] Please package Snes9x GTK 1.51.61-1

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by amano (jyaku):

In the repos many different old versions of snes9x can be found. There
is currently a new version (1.51) available in a Launchpad PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~bearoso/+archive

It is actively maintained, which cannot be said from the cruft which is
currently in the Ubuntu repos.

That (semi-official) GTK+ port of Snes9x has even advanced features like
NTSC filters (to have the same look for your games like they did on your
TV set).

Snes9x and ZSNES are the only advanced SNES emulator that are worth
keeping in the repos. Please clean up the other SNES emulators. Above
all the old Snes9x versions should be removed since they can be
considered partly broken cruft.

Further information:
1) My version: Ubuntu 8.10
2) no Package from the 1.51 version was in the Jaunty repos yet.
3) Snes9x GTK 1.51  should be offered in Add/Remove...
4) Just old and unmaintained versions of Snes9x are offered to be installed (I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snes9express/+bug/316777 to remove those)

** Affects: snes9x (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
