HAHAHAHAAHAH Ok guys! stop the phillosophical crazyness, I mean emulators that emulate a computer that doesn't exist....
Like inventing a whole new processor with instruction set, memory space, graphics chip, and such...

Yes, I know it may be a silly idea, but I don't know, it came to my mind, and there's so much out there in the internet, someone may have made one.
Do you know any?

- Probably a bug in my emulator (RockNES), I still need to trace the code. Well, it works on Nintendulator and Nestopia, but not on FCEUX. Yes, it's strange, my progs run perfectly on FCEUXD but not at all on FCEUX. EDIT: hmm, it's buggy from beta 8, works fine on beta <= 7... Interesting. Well, it...

He is the author of RockNES, so he probably meant the lastest version. Oh, that was he meant by "My" emu. =D Yeah, that's the correct way to hide unused sprites. For better performance, you don't even have to clear the whole page, simply setting the Y coordinates to $F0 or more will hide ...

It's good to see some effort done for the C version of CC65...Good work! Thanks! Looks promising. However you should learn some assembly. Also I'd have to go to GBA dev seeing how they do games in C, and maybe try to do similar libraries for the NES, so that they are suitable for game use. Thanks! ...

- My emu displays wrong colors: - Any help? :( Letters' colors are right. The earth seems to have a problem. What emulator and version is it? http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/5483/bugft2.png OH! now that I see your screenshot, your emulator shows the first and last rows of tiles... And I can see ...

Well, there are 240 actual scanlines rendered to the screen, although the first and last 8 aren't usually seen on the screen of TVs and emulators. the remaining VBlank, and the other 2 Tokumaru mentions, aren't really lines of pixels rendered anywhere, but rather the time that it would last if they ...

Well, here's the quick and dirty first release of rNES, a library for NES apps and games development, written in C for cc65. Hope some newbie can benefit from this Contributions, criticism and ideas are welcome! http://tachdaun.com.ar/rnes/rNES-0.1.zip http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/e83e6ee...

Thanks! now I get it.

But it does horizontal scrolling ( obviously ) then how come it scrolls horizontally if the nametable on the right is a mirror of the nametable on the left?
I have to check it now on FCEXUD because I don't get it.

Let's say I want to make a library and a game or some app, and I only plan it to be run on NES emulators, and not build a cartridge to be run on the actual console Anyway, yes, I could develop for a number of more powerful platforms. Believe me I am, and I will, but in this forum, I want to focus o...

No thanks, NES is the reason I'm posting in this forum.

If this is some kind of sarcasm, Idon't get it.
I've developed games in Java for cell phones, and C++ for Wintel, but that's not what I'm looking for in this forum.

Thanks, it's like I suspected, my doubt was about why was mirroring mentioned instead of scrolling, that made me think mirroring was in itself important. Everywhere "vertical mirroring" is metioned, what really matters, from the point of view of the programmer, is "horizontal scrollin...

Hi, so far I've understood this: Vertical mirroring means both bottom nametables are a copy ( mirror ) of the top nametables, where you write to, and you can scroll between them horizontally. Horizontal mirroring is the opposite. And third, you can have 2way scrolling which has no mirroring, and you...

Hi, I've read about iNES mappers on the Nesdev wiki and got surprised to know that for example, there's a mapper with 128K for CHR-ROM! While I was thinking how to fit all the game's tiles in 4k... Let's say I want to make a library and a game or some app, and I only plan it to be run on emulators, ...
