Announcing relaunch of Nezulator - now written in Javascript

There's always the PAL version of Elite, which was released as freeware by its author. But you need to emulate a PAL system with decent accuracy, otherwise it will shake a lot.

Zophar.net looks a bit out of date. I'd recommend PDRoms.de.

Full disclosure: I say this based on having looked for my own games.

I've improved the sound code a bit. Should have much less lag than before.

I've timed it to be < 0.25 seconds lag now actually

Awesomeness

Also made it so you can specify games databases to search through. Otherwise, you can't search for games. It also searches twitter so that people can tweet various databases they put up on the internet.

Read through an article about my latest posts here and I want to clear a few things up.

1) I'm not publicly hosting any copyrighted content on zelex.net. The legal section is out of date - Nor do I tell people where to get copyrighted content. The google search is still in there, but its not very good IMO. I have added the ability however to specify a games database to search through. More on what that is exactly in a bit.

2) I have not abandoned the legal emulation approach which involves custom code and a CopyNES. In fact it is well under way, but it will be many months of setup and I got bored. So this is whats new in the mean-time.

3) What is a games database? Its a javascript file that is specially formatted to be read by Nezulator. Inside the games database file is a list of ROMS, and their URLs where they can be found. I do not provide a games database - they must be provided by the users of Nezulator. It is intended that braver individuals than I host a database (not roms, just a database), post that to twitter so that others may benefit from their ROM URL gathering efforts.

4) Alternatively, you can post to twitter a url to a single ROM file so that people can play that with a single click. I'll be making that easier to set up in the near future. Example: http://zelex.net/nezulator/?rom=http%3A ... dhero2.nes
