Hello everyone, I follow this forum for some months and I finally decided to write to ask you a favor. Having time to lose and wanting to learn the C language, I started working on my emulator and after 3 months of hard work, I finally some results. If anyone has time to lose and wanted to try it, place the links for dowloads both 32 and 64 bit versions. The emulator works only under linux with the SDL libraries installed. I am interested in any problems, graphical glitches, problems of timing, everything. For the moment I'm focused on the ppu and cpu emulation and therefore no sound and input and it also supported mapper 0 (in other words no mapper ). Unpack the tar file and copy in the same directory the rom with the name "rom.nes", then exec the emulator. Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to try it.
P.s. sorry for my poor english
Well you're lucky I'm on Linux right now (I rarely use it), but too bad I don't know how to run your program. I'm so unfamiliar with linux I can't even run it, sorry. I tried both clicing on it and execute from a teminal, but neither works.
Hi Bregalad, create a new directory, uncompress the tar file in, then copy a rom with name rom.nes. In a terminal enter in the directory then type "./fnes.32bit.pal" or "./fnes.32bit.ntsc" (replace 64bit if you have download 64bit version). Or click two time on the name of emulator (important are the rom )
I found a bug in the sdl code that crash the emulator if the bpp of desktopo was not set to 32 bits. Bregalad, this could be that you are not allowed to run program. I solved and i updated the tar file in the first post.
Oh I was able to run it. It still looks very early in the development stage, I can't decide which keys are mapped to which controller button, or is the controller emulated at all ?
The raster demo at the start of my game works perfect, which is a good thing.
yes, i don't emulate input yet, but i'm working on it now . This is my first experience with C, sdl, and an emulator then i learn everything from scratch.
Thx for the test Bregalad, When the input are ready i posted here and meanwhile, if you like to try some other roms let me know if you find any problem.
Well, the demo Retrocoders : Year Behind (which doesn't require any imput as long as you don't change the song) isn't working at all. You'd want to work on it
mmmmm, strange, my emulator tell me that use an istruction with opcode 27 (RLA) that are illegal. Maybe is a my bug. I go immediately to investigate. Thx Bregalad
well the problem are that i don't emulate MMC1, for now no mappers . You are right, fnes are in very early development stage, but I am a guy who works hard, I just need only some time
ok, after a reorganization of the code in order to successfully implement the mappers, I started to integrate mm1. It is not yet complete but the demo Retrocoders: Year Behind works. Bregalad you please try it and tell me if you see a problem of timing? the link in the first post are updated.
I'm sorry if I keep bothering you, but I tried both versions on a gentoo and ubuntu on and I can't understand why it fails to you. You can try to run it from terminal and can you tell if it gives you an error message or a message?. Many Thanks for your patience.
