--- Comment #2 from Elliott Sales de Andrade <quantum.analyst@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Sorry, I don't think this is acceptable in Fedora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:SoftwareTypes#Emulators

> Emulators which depend on firmware or ROM files to function may not be included in Fedora, unless the copyright holder(s) for the firmware/ROM files give clear permission for the firmware/ROM files to be distributed (either under a Fedora permissible license or under the Fedora firmware exception criteria). Note: This only covers the situation where an emulator will not run at all without firmware/ROM files. For example, emulators that compile and run, but ship with no game ROMs are not covered by this rule.

And from Reicast's user guide:

> You will need the Dreamcast BIOS files (dc_boot.bin and dc_flash.bin) to run reicast. You need to dump these files from your Dreamcast.

If Reicast could run without these files at all (using some homebrewed version
or something), it would be acceptable.


You may be able to package this for RPM Fusion instead, though I'm not exactly
sure of their legal requirements.
