This is a modded ice repo for me and my current "Steam Machine" project I am working on for our living room entertainment box. I am putting it here so I can use it on any other computer for anybody else that wants to do this the exact same way I did.

Higan was acquired through Debian's packaging system.
From here on out the rest of the readme is Scott Rice's untouched notes.
The purpose of this project is to leverage Steam's Big Picture mode to turn it into an emulator frontend (similar to Hyperspin). It accomplishes this by creating folders in specified locations on the user's hard drive, then adding any ROMs that are placed in these folders to Steam as non-Steam games. Emulators are installed and configured by the user before Ice is run.
All of my code is licensed under MIT.
Ice's official documentation is available at Getting Started.
You will need Python 2.7 to run Ice. Python 3.0 and up will not work.
You will also need pip installed. The easiest way to get that is to run easy_install pip
.
Next, you will need to download all of Ice's dependencies. To do so, run python setup.py install
Once all of that is finished, simply run python -m ice
from the repository's root directory.
A GUI for Ice is currently being developed, but is very far from being production ready. As of writing, it is basically non-functional. Do not attempt to use the GUI, doing so will only bring you pain and heartache.
