Yes, epsxe, zsnes, and most emulators, have parts in assembler that will not compile or work as expected in any other arch than the one that they were made for. Epsxe is not keyworded for amd64, I suppose, cause it would not work in such architecture. I dont have any accurate info about it, but if it is masked in amd64 is for a reason. You can always try to add the ~amd64 keyword to the ebuild and the emerge it, at your own risk, of course. Jesús. -- [email protected] mailing list
