[NES Emulator] vNESLight

[Nudua]

I sent my image on the other page. I attached to see if you wanted to use this one or something else. I'll break it up into 4 images if you want so you can use it. Just let me know the size of the hit box graphics (or each control), and I'll do it for ya.




I thought there was code to check the theme loaded ? Then you can load based on theme.

No problem, I look forward to your next beta !

Would be great if u could split them up, I really suck at working with graphical stuff. The individual sizes for the controls are 80x80, but that could be a little too big, so with spacing them out it would be 60x60.

Also wondering if doing a slight transparency would make it look less in the way.

Ok, no problem, I want to help.

Can you do a back drop ? Also, does the images need to be 60 X 60, can they be, for example 60 X 30 or 30 X 60 (arrow angles are longer than thickness, etc) ?

What I mean, is each of the arrows(up, down, left, right) will be broken up into 4. Then the center I cant use (use a back drop to complete the image).

Transparency is no big deal, I'll try something like a 30% or so, unless you have something you prefer ?

I still feel you should break up the Select/Start to the left and right of the game image so you are not overlaying them over the video. I can do those too (expand the following image hight wise and put Select/start on the images)

How about the A/B buttons, do you want to use the attached ? How about a Size or do you have something else in mind ? I'll match transparency for what ever I use.

If you have another image of a controller you would prefer to use, I'll cut it up for ya.

If you want to take this all via email, drop me a line, we can finish this up over the next few days (I leave on Sunday for a business trip and wont be back for about 2 and 1/2 weeks, no photoshop access)

Let me know...

Okey just a quick updating regarding the marketplace submission, apparently emulators are allowed in the marketplace however vNESLight got stopped because of a small bug with the rom downloader, gonna polish up and re-submit it. Then it should be on the marketplace shortly.

Also regarding http://www.wpcentral.com/sam-alert-nes-titles-still-being-sold-new-ones-added , I basically got the same answer as wpcentral did.

For the other apps, we are working with our policy team and we do appreciate you bringing this to our attention

Because the removeal of apps where the trademark owner has not contacted Microsoft yet can be slow, please bear with us.

Great to hear!

Just another status update, been working on the beta 4. Which was intended to be the marketplace version, but it's going slowly forward and I'm doubting that it will make it. Prolly know sometime next week.

Couple of new features.

Fullscreen Mode:

And if u uncheck fullscreen mode it'll maintain the aspect ratio, but no unnecessary black borders at the top and bottom like it was before.

Also i made the webdownloader a bit more idiot proof so u cannot add invalid roms, also there should be better error handling. Oh yeah and the fps bug is fixed.

Added opacity to the controls, there's also some feedback when u press the buttons, will try to get new graphics for the controls into this release.

Sadly there shouldn't be much speed improvements, but it should run a lot faster on newer devices. I am debating rewriting portions natively, but that would require a lot more time.

I'll have the beta 4 up in a few days.

Also, if u have a new device, e.g HTC Radar/Titan, Nokia Lumia 800 etc. I would be very interested in how well the beta 3 runs with the recommended settings for 2nd gen. phones. (60 fps mode, sound on, speed hack disabled, 0 frameskipping).

I see there's another emulator on the Marketplace since 02/11/11 called "NES EMU 7", by Tidal Wave Innovations, is this related to your own work in any way?

It's €5 with no trial so I'm not going to try it, if you are adding your own emu to the Marketplace please do consider a trial option so we can give it a shot first! Latest developments are looking great, by the way.

Huh, I know there's an open source project named NES EMU 7 which was made by Matt Bettcher, I'll have to check out the xap to be completely sure though, looks like another smart ass has taken his source code and has decided to sell it. Which is illegal because of the open source license.

I will submit vNESLight in a few days and it will be free of charge. Just sorting out a few things.

edit: just submitted it to the marketplace, tested the living crap out of it, so there shouldn't be any problems this time around. Xap version will be up shortly in the main post.

Anyone try this on any of the new devices yet? Interested to see how it runs on the Focus S, Flash and Titan.

Me too, 25k thread views and still only a handful of people leave their feedback. t_t

Much better, when controller isn't too much visible and visible, if I click on it. Thanks's for implement my request.

Just downloaded this.. awesome! I only tested the demo for about a minute, but it worked really well. Noob question though... where can I get other games? Does anyone have a link to a few games, maybe just the more popular ones? or what format do they have to be in so I can download them (torrent or something?)

Sure sure, just let me know if there's anything else you're missing.

Most ".nes" ROMs should work, as long as they have a valid header. As for finding ROMs you're on your own there, but its not hard to find.

Holy smokes, it actually made it to the marketplace.

I'll make a thread in the Apps and Games section shortly, but here's the link.

Yeah might be a bit early, I had to open the link on my phone to download it.

edit: here's the deep link, should work from the phone: http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=3d8e51b8-1884-4aa7-bb2c-2eda47745a27

I can't get the app download new roms. Any help would be appreaciated I trief several links that link to zip files but always it would say it is an invalid link.

Is there anyway to use game genie/cheat codes?

I appreciate the emulator!
