That sounds pretty likely then. I'll take a look at that a bit later today. Thanks for the tip!

I tried on rekonq and Firefox (both linux) too. On rekonq, like in Opera, the drag and drop doesn't even have any effect and the google search is not working so I don't know how it works. In firefox, it runs even 1000 times slower than in Opera (where it was already slow), the whole computer slowed...

I just tested Nezulator on my Chu Chu Rocket game. The joypad reading code fails on that emulator. Just in case, make sure you click on the emulator first before trying the controls. That being said, I did notice that one of the homebrew test roms didn't work with the emulator's joystick code. I'm ...

I should mention that Yoshi's doc is wrong. My code is right.

Fixed most of the graphical glitches early this morning. Still one left w/ scanlines and sprites. Probably a timing issue.

I primarilly referenced yoshi's doc and the nesdev wiki. The rest was just fiddling with things trying to figure out how the game actually uses the mapper. One key point that the docs just brush upon, but don't really stress is that punch out *requires* that you to actually render the off-screen 33r...

also just through in basic support for fire emblem, seeing as its nearly identical to MMC2. Still some graphical issues to work out however.

Just got everything mostly working. Still a few glitches here and there that I'm working on, but otherwise very playable and enjoyable

Basically, whenever the PPU or CPU reads/writes from some specific addresses, a bank change happens automatically at that point. This alleviates the CPU's need to do the bank switches manually. So far I have the backgrounds behaving properly, but the sprites are not working 100% correctly. Unsure of...

Yeah, I can pretty easily put in keyboard maps. I'll do it as soon as I'm done implementing MMC2 for Punch out. (which is a PIA btw.. automatic mid-scanline nametable switching... )

ahhh, mid-scanline nametable changing -- yes definitely doesn't support that. I wonder if that is what is wrong with Earth Bound Zero as well

hehe, was thinking email address. But forums might work. I'll try. Already tried their contact page and got nothing back.

Anybody have any contact info for the VirtualNES.com developers?

just finished implementing game genie codes

If a user goes around the standard operation of a program or website and hacks to do something illegal, its not the fault of the program or website assuming reasonable measures were taken.

I've read over VirtualNes.com's legal info, and I made some modifications to the site to prohibit the downloading of roms found by searching. I believe that will make the site legally compatible.
