A multi-system emulator

⚠️ This project is very early in development and not ready for use yet! ⚠️

## What is this? This is Hydra, a multi-platform frontend for emulator cores. A Hydra core is a shared library that defines the functions in the [core header](https://github.com/hydra-emu/core). You can load cores by placing them in the core directory specified in Hydras settings. [Current cores](https://github.com/hydra-emu/hydra/wiki/Cores) ## Building You will need a C++20 compliant compiler like `gcc-12`

Archlinux

pacman -S --needed qt6
git clone https://github.com/OFFTKP/hydra.git
cd hydra
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --target hydra -j $(nproc)

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgl-dev qt6-base-dev libqt6openglwidgets6 libqt6widgets6 libqt6opengl6 libqt6gui6
git clone https://github.com/OFFTKP/hydra.git
cd hydra
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --target hydra -j $(nproc)

MacOS

You can replace -j 4 with your actual number of cores

brew install qt6
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --target hydra -j 4

Windows

Currently does not pass CI, so compilation might fail Make sure to install Qt6 first

cmake.exe -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
cmake.exe --build build --target hydra -j %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%
