When I ran the 32bit (i686) version on my Windows XP I got the following message:

RockNES.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
OK

Here are some other documents: APU (section DMC) Blargg's NES APU Reference Address and Length APU says "DPCM samples must begin in the memory range $C000-FFFF at an address set by register $4012 (address = %11AAAAAA.AA000000). The length of the sample in bytes is set by register $4013 (length ...

Previously: The Power Glove manual mentions "special editing codes" , maybe pressing something between the first and second Enter press would do something? The source code for the Power Glove onboard processor executable code I immediately looked over the source code when it was posted, an...

I like Sekaiju, a MIDI sequencer for Windows. It defaults to Japanese, but you can change it to English: Go to the (S) menu and choose Language.

By the way, FCEUX comes with some example music visualization scripts (SoundDisplay.lua and SoundDisplay2.lua). If you are willing to use something other than Flash, maybe you can make visualizations the way you want using FCEUX's scripting language. For example, I made my own script to visualize th...

Is "Flash markup language" the same thing as FlMML ?: FlMML is a library for you to play the music in Flash. It allows you to play the melody just pass the text of the MML notation. I found a script for the NES emulator FCEUX that looks like it will convert NES audio playing in FCEUX into ...

Wait, do those games suddenly support saves if supplied with the proper components? Just to be clear, in its original context, the picture cornsyrup32 attached above doesn't imply the games (software) in red can make use of battery saves. It only means if a battery is added to the hardware, then th...

Do clones have problems with the color emphasis bits? Some clones switch the phases for tint bits, giving screens the wrong tint. Is that the same reason why Felix the Cat is really dark when played on clone hardware? It looks "odd"/"dark" even on authentic NES hardware, because...

I thought dB was logarithmic, which I always thought meant 2dB = 2x louder than 1dB, 3dB = 2x louder than 2dB, etc... You're thinking of base-2 logarithmic. In brief, Bels are base-10 logarithmic. 1 bel is 10 times the power of 0 bels. 1 bel is 10 decibels. Wikipedia says "in most applications...

Here's something that may have prompted Japanese kids to write their names on their cartridges: While browsing bootgod's NES Cart Database, I've noticed that the back label on Irem Famicom cartridges seems to always have a NAME blank for you to write your name in. If you were a kid who got an Irem c...

Can you describe the mapper? 2a03puritans_src.zip -> readme.txt has some info: Mapper ====== This project required the design and implementation of a new custom mapper by infiniteneslives and rainwarrior, intended to facilitate the inclusion of one of more NSFs into a single NES cartridge. This map...

Theremin [...] - I couldn't test with mouse because FCEUX crashed on me when I tried to enable mouse input in it (I assume FCEUX's mouse input option is for the SNES mouse) When I tried to use FCEUX's mouse option with Theremin, it also crashed for me. I looked at FCEUX's mouse.cpp . I didn't under...

Thanks for the preview release. I like the game so far

The "MAIN LOOP" only runs once, so maybe it should just be called "MAIN"?

What is "LAST nn" for?

You should ask on VGmusic.com, although the place has been dead lately. Note that new user registration for the VGMusic Forums was turned off around Dec 20, 2013: UPDATE: Given the continual (but failed) attempts of spam bots to register with the forums (about 10 every hour!), we have turned off no...

According the wiki: 76543210 |||||||| ||||++++- Hue (phase, determines NTSC/PAL chroma) ||++----- Value (voltage, determines NTSC/PAL luma) ++------- Unimplemented, reads back as 0 The bits of the color number are not strictly divided into hue and value like that.
