I wasn't sure if it controlled the compare check or just the input. I should clarify that I have only tested with the Game Genie ROM, not the actual Game Genie hardware. I used the FCEUX script attached below to capture the writes the Game Genie uses to send the codes to its hardware as described i...

The algorithm generates two code variants because bit 7 of the cheat Address is not used when decoding the cheat properties and can hence be either 1 or 0. The two variants differ only in the 3rd letter. For example, the codes GOSSIP and GOISIP both represent the same cheat (substitute $14 at addre...

Hoping people will buy the new $60 "toy" NES just to get controller parts. Maybe they'd combine it with something devious like never offer the second controller as its own purchase. Nah, the official site says you'll be able to purchase the controllers for $9.99 MSRP. (Ha. The alt text fo...

Select the following text to read "spoiler?" : Spoiler: FYI: Using a dark font color to hide text doesn't work for other users using the light background theme. To hide text for both themes (dark background and light background), you can use tt to set the background to blue #3355AA, then ...

Can anyone provide a link to the ROM? Probably not, because it's included with the commercial game as a bonus, but it is really cheap to buy, I think it was just $1 or $2 when I bought it on sale through Steam. If you want to look around for it anyways though, the NES version was called "ROM C...

By the way, here's where those PDFs are linked from: Older Games List (Nintendo Customer Service) . Be aware that the complete list PDF has some problems. For each system in the complete list PDF, game titles number 3 and 4 are replaced with "the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, Original Game Boy,&...

Long mode noise When the noise channel Mode flag is clear, the noise channel repeats a sound wave that is 32767 steps long. Each step is pseudo-randomly the minimum or maximum level. Although the sound wave eventually repeats, it's so long in duration that you don't hear it as a definite pitch. I c...

Notes: The ITEMxxxx.DAT files in the SEGMENT folder are the menu screens. I converted them to jpg using ffmpeg -i ITEM0001.DAT 01.jpg and so on, then typed up all of the names. Menu pages 16 to 30 contain repeats or slight spelling changes of the game names on pages 1 to 15 in a different order. I c...

Here's a test for a possible redo of the Title... https://youtu.be/_iHCUtGVaus [...] Comments requested. 1. The animation is pretty slow. If this was in a game, I might watch it the first time to see what it is, but every other time I'd probably grumble it's so slow and mash START to try to bypass ...

FCEUX, Nestopia and Nintendulator all have "mouse" input options, though I've never experimented with what they do. Is this SNES mouse support, or some other kind of mouse? Two years ago today, I wrote about attempting to use FCEUX's mouse with Theremin : When I tried to use FCEUX's mouse...

Note: I am counting each minor channel number as a separate channel. (For example, I am counting channels 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 as three channels.) I don't understand what you mean by 'minor channel number'. Could you give named examples? ATSC digital channel numbers are in the format of X.Y (sometimes...

Virtual channels forces you to use auto-scanning to find channels, which can take a while. Sometimes even around 45 minutes on some TVs. 45 minute auto-tunes? [...] I don't think I've seen a full CH21-68 DVB scan take longer then five and that's on the oldest and crappiest hardware I can remember. ...

Yes, those versions work, thank you.

FHorse, thank you for puNES.

When I use puNES with a gamepad, it doesn't prevent Windows Power Options from turning off the screen.
