ares in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own ares package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so ares should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Breadstick draws graphics with the processor rather than the GPU, so 2D, puzzle, card and board games suit it best, and fast 3D games run slowly. More about games in Breadstick.

About ares

From Debian's package description

ares is an emulator for systems from Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, NEC, SNK, Microsoft, Coleco, Bandai and Benesse. It is a descendent of higan and bsnes and focuses on accuracy and preservation. The SNES emulation is especially complete and polished.

From Debian's description of the ares package, under that package's license. The project text Debian publishes for this app could not be traced to a file in the package, so its license is unknown. Debian's description is shown instead.
