Has anyone tried the new latest version of the NES Emulator?

[wildonrio]

The current version is 0.48 as of today August 16 and I was just wondering if anyone has tried it. A link to download site is here. Here's a list of all improvements made:

Can this be installed via the MAC? I seem to be having trouble getting the files out from the NES download. I keep getting it's not supported.

Any help?

Thanks..

I've tried it. It's a little bit better, the controls work a lot better, but sometimes they stick when pressing certain key comobos. They're moving through new versions pretty fast, and it's getting better and better, so we'll see what is to come!

I have no idea how to install this you have to install like ten different thing's and all the instructions are terrible

If your iPhone is already out of jail, and you have file transfer working via SSH, etc., there isn't much to it. Just copy the whole NES.app folder to the Applications folder, make sure file/folder permissions are set properly, and you are done. You need ROMs of course, but they are easy to come by.

If you haven't gotten your iPhone out of jail yet you would need to concentrate on that first. In that case I would recommend installing the app Installer.app as your first app. This allows easy installation of NES and other apps right on the iPhone (with easy updates).

It's on version .52 now, and I have to say it's really made incredible progress.

I'm getting fullspeed now, and with the new multitouch settings, games like Pacman are no longer frustrating.

0.49 [nervegas] Fixed minor memory leaks
[nervegas] Fixed remaining save/restore state issues (I think)
[nervegas] Moved all critical globals into a nes_state struct
0.50 [nervegas] Fixed a bug causing certain games' save state to corrupt
0.51 [nervegas] Added "Enlarge Screen" option for portrait mode
[nervegas] Aesthetic changes to preferences
0.52 [nervegas] Resync frameskip from preferences when loading saved game
[nervegas] Redraw controllers when debug toggled
[nervegas] Minor tweaks to portrait controller hot spots

ya most games run great but SMB's are still pretty hard to play.

I definitely welcome this option.

And now .52:
0.53 [nervegas] Fixed orientation of notify icons when flipping
[nervegas] Added enlarged screen view option for landscape mode


Needs a bit of work but this screen is even bigger than portrait.

0.54 added Game Genie support!

0.54 [nervegas] Implemented game genie code support (but slows down game)
[nervegas] Fix for preferences scroll speed (cell scope problem)

 

[GQmacguy]

It is SOOOOOOOOO much faster now...

 

[onendonlysean]

they need to intergrate fixing the sound into the next update... the NES is at update .99 now... thats the best part of the installer app auto updates...

Couldn't agree more, the sound is annoying. And it looks like he is going to do it, according to his official website (click on ROADMAP):

"
Realistic things to do:

- Rewrite sound not to need mediaserverd

Not so realistic:

- Possibly Netplay (to do it right would require a lot of bandwidth)

"
