[NES Emulator] vNESLight

[meandu229]

Bit of feedback using HTC titan
Full screen on, sound on frameskip 1 , 60 fps mode on speed hack on, fixed step on gives between 40-60 fps on mario 1, mario 3 and alladin
Wonder if this means snes is coming?

Thanks for this

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.

Are u by any chance trying to add from a https source? I messed up something so u can't add from https yet.

Is there anyway to use game genie/cheat codes?

I appreciate the emulator!

Not yet, but it's implemented in the emulator though.

Cool, have u by any chance tried the 2nd gen. settings, 0 frameskip, 60 fps, speed hack off, fixed step off.

May have to turn fixed step on if its sluggish, also curious how the sound is with these settings.

I would suggest turning sound off for 1st gen devices, if it's too choppy still, try setting the frameskipping down a bit.

Yeah seams to be problem when downloading from https, working on a simple web server so u can just host the files locally.

is there any difference between the latest.xap you uploaded and grabbing this from the marketplace?


and yeah i'm still really impressed by this. of course its tough to play at times when you need to have your fingers blocking a good part of the screen, but obviously there's nothing you can do about that.

my only suggestion.. don't know how easy it'd be to do. the A and B buttons. sometimes I press a bit to the outside of them and they don't trigger. Would be nice if you could spread the pressable portion of them a bit further on the outsides to avoid non-triggers. obviously not on the inside to avoid overlap.

Nah they're basically the same, except that u can add roms from xap/or via isolated storage tool when u sideload it.

U can always play in 4:3 mode by turning fullscreen mode off in the settings, controls should be more visible then.

The hitboxes are bigger than the buttons, I'll go over it when I do the new graphics for the controls.

great, thanks for the reply. I know the hotboxes are bigger than the buttons. I was just suggesting they be made even maybe a little bigger. at least with the A.. there's nothing to the right of it so there's no reason not to (that I can see). I can see the B interfering with 'start' if you go too far left.
just a suggestion.. obviously i'm sure i'll get used to it either way after playing a bit more.

2nd gen settings on titan is Horrible, about 2-3 fps max, with sound or without sound about 4-5 fps
hit the speed hack on and its playable at over 30fps.

The same with 2nd gen settings + fixed step on?

I've ordered a Omnia W (Focus Flash), but it's not out here for another two weeks, so until then I can't test the settings myself.

If anyone has a dev/chevron unlocked 2nd gen. device feel free to shoot me a PM or email me: [email protected] too see if we can't work out what the problem is. It should run a lot faster.

2nd gen settings + fixed step is about the same as 2nd gen + speed hack, 30-50 fps jumping around alot (mario 3)

Any chance you could alter the button layout a bit? The current configuration can become unreadable in a lot of circumstances, and puts your thumbs over the image (even in 4:3 mode)


Something like this for landscape mode:

the screen size there is exactly double the normal NES output resolution, so scaling wont wreck the image. This also leaves a bit more room to fit in controls.


And this for portrait mode:

This is similar to the button layout on an old-school GameBoy. The screen can't be exactly 200% here, but it leaves plenty of room at the bottom of the screen for buttons.

I like your portrait mode idea and landscape.

I was hoping to get the Focus S, but I may end up getting the Titan from AT&T. Just need BestBuy to carry it so I can use my gift cards.
Hopefully they have it on the 20th.

Yeah looks pretty good.

The thing I was thinking to do, is just to make a mode where u can drag the controls out on the screen, in a grid? or freehand with a few predefined profiles. But I haven't had time to actually do that yet.

According to wp7applist the app is listed as 220 of 32494, might be even higher right now. Gotten like 75 reviews in the US marketplace in just a day. t_t

We have to watch where the back, Windows and Search buttons are. Because they are no hard buttons, just swiping them with the side of your thumb will press them, taking you away from your game. The closer they are, the higher chance you will hit them. Some games from the market place I always hit them when I play.

As I am not crazy about them over the screen, it might be the best option on devices due to this limitaion on WP7 devices.

Nothing I hate more about my phone is just playing a good game that I am into, then hitting the seach button by mistake and losing my place or having to jump back and wait for it to load back up (yea, mango fixes a lot of that but, it's not pefect.

I do also like the thought of the portrait mode tho. That might solve all problems (even better if you could have the phone upside down (not even near the windows keys)

What handset are you using? Samsung fixed that problem ages ago on their devices.

With the new touchscreen driver from Samsung, if you drag off the bottom edge of the screen, the phone automatically disables the capacitive buttons. You can't hit them unless you fully lift all your fingers off the touchscreen, then press a capacitive button. This totally eliminated accidental-exits in games for me.

In any case, I did take the capacitive buttons into account when designing the portrait configuration. The Select/Start buttons are positioned to land above and between the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone (rather than directly above a hardware button), making it very difficult to accidentally set off a hardware button.

Landscape is just difficult all-around, due to how little extra space there is around the game screen. If I'm honest, if portrait were available, that's all I'd ever use because the controls lay out so well (and it looks like a gameboy, hehe).

Yeah seams to be problem when downloading from https, working on a simple web server so u can just host the files locally.

Again, stupid here, how do i do that?
Google search "how to host a file locally" gives nothing related.

Using a HTC Trophy, and when ever I get near the buttons I end up hitting them..
