+bsnes is an emulator that began development on 2004-10-14. The
+purpose of this emulator is a bit different from others: it
+focuses on accuracy, debugging functionality, and clean code.
+
+The emulator does not focus on things that would hinder accuracy.
+This includes speed and game-specific hacks for compatibility. As
+a result, the minimum system requirements for bsnes are very high.
+
+bsnes requires OpenAL.
+
+Optional build requirement is pulseaudio. By default pulseaudio
+is turned off. To build bsnes with pulseaudio support pass
+USE_PULSE="yes" to the slackbuild.
+
+If you happen to use a version of Slackware that is less then 13.0
+and you have Qt >= 4.5.0 then you need to pass OLD_SLACK="yes" to
+the slackbuild.
