NESICIDE 2

NESICIDE is a NES development application written with MFC and works only on Windows. The goal of NESICIDE2 is to bring this application into the modern age; it will support all 3 major platforms, as well as feature an easier to use interface. It will also have a community element that will allow users to share code, multimedia, and even entire projects/games. This is a new project and much is left to be done. We request that developers who want to contribute do not add new logic to the application. We will only accept merge requests that deal with fixing of bugs in existing logic. If you would like to help with new features in the program, please send a message to ~essial.

We are also available on IRC at irc.freenode.net; channel #nesicide.
