The Beagle Entertainment System (BES) project is a complete filesystem image that turns the ARM-based BeagleBone Black single board computer into an embedded appliance capable of playing software for the SNES, NES, GBA, and Gameboy Color platforms.

A full system image, ready to be written to a microSD card and used as-is, is available for download. Just connect your BES-enabled BeagleBone Black to your network and you can use BES's Node.js web interface to add or remove ROMs, configure gamepads, and edit ROM descriptions for the front-end GUI. There's no need to hand edit configuration files or manually copy ROM files onto the microSD card!
