[NES Emulator] vNESLight

[Nudua]

Wow you are ready to the 'big step'

Usually homebrew devs are scared of the '1.0' eheh no offense intended, just joking around

Again thx for your hard work.

Sorry if I go a little offtopic ...
I look for informations about EMU7800 and I found this :
http://emu7800.sourceforge.net/

I looked on this forum to find other informations but I found nothing ...

They write this in the 1.0 Changelog :
"Initial Windows Phone release to Windows Phone Marketplace"

So they released it ? They submitted to the marketplace and they failed ? Do you have accurate informations about this ?

:/

EDIT : I just found you wrote the same thing 1 month ago ... dunno why my search failed the first time ...

Yeah I was curious so I emailed the creator and he replied yesterday. He said he would re-submit new a version soon since the old one was from November and was failed only a few days ago for minor issues.

@ryotgz
I'll add volume control to the list. The sound is kinda low on the Omnia W ;s

It should be the same buffer size, I've made some more improvements in the current version. So should be better.

Thanks. My Focus was low too, but my Titan is completely the opposite.
Looking forward to the new version.

Is there something different about punch out? The rom I used back in the day in windows mobile looks scrambled when played. All others seem fine. Tried a few from the web and they looked the same.

Thanks to you, I get to relive a few childhood memories. I had a NES as a child, but was poor and my parents (dad) never actually got me any new games aside from the 2 or 3 I had. The occasional rental was few and far between. One of them was The Adventures of Lolo, a puzzle game. I loved it, but had to return it before I could get all the way through. Now, I can play it at my leisure on my Lumia 800.

YAY!!!

Yeah there's an issue with the mapper that punch-out uses, I've fixed a few mappers in the new version and I'll look into the one punch-out uses.

hehe, we used to rent NES/SNES games back in the day as well. I'm glad you get to play The Adventures of Lolo again, one of my NES favorites .

Think of releasing a 0.9 version on here, more of a public beta test before going to 1.0. I would hate to see you put all this work in an miss an important bug...

It would give you a chance to fix everything before going to 1.0...

Just a thought....

Public beta test sounds good, we'll see in a couple of weeks.

Sound good, just a thought as you could have a more perfect version uploaded to the marketplace on v 1.0.

I look forward to be able to get the arrows and buttons closer together as I have a hard time playing some games because of the distance.

If there is anything I can help with (grapics, etc) just let me know...

You know you can have a beta on the marketplace, you just need to allow people (via hotmail/Live account) who can acces it ?

Funny thing, apparently EMU7800 (an atari 2600/7800 emulator) had been pending since November for certification. And it finally got failed for a minor issue on the same day as my update got put through.

Does he/she have that here on XDA ? I would love to play a few classics from the 2600/7800. At least I could have the entire 2600 collection in the space of 4-5 NES games..heh

Thanks for the reply. Everything else is awesome (although i do agree the dpad may need closer together. I wonder if it's because i have a Titan and you wouldn't notice it on a smaller screen?)

It's noticeable on smaller screens. I'm using the Lumia 800 (3.7") and the dpad is still too far apart.

Yeah I'll use the marketplace beta thing, I actually could use a small metroish logo for the new version.

Sadly he doesn't have it on XDA, but he'll re-submit it to the marketplace shortly.

Speaking of new emulators, shouldn't Sonic's Jewels be up soon :]

The problem though, if u make the d-pad to small it gets really hard to have a hitbox that is easy to hit. Especially on smaller screens, but the new d-pad looks like a proper d-pad (smaller and less spacing), and I'll fine tune the hit boxes for it.

I'm on it


Edit: Whipped up some graphics. What do you think?

Splash Screen (v3):

Edit 2: Whoops, forgot to attach the original PNGs.
Edit 3: Added an alternate version of the splash screen.
Edit 4: Added another alternate version of the slash screen.

I love the v2 splash screen !!!
It's kinda hypnotic !

 

[ryotgz]

I gotta admit that I like those graphics. Although I am partial to the current one

Indeed me too, I'll have to see how it looks on the device first. These tiles would make it fit more in on the main screen however.

edit: just saw on twitter that Sonic's Jewels has been accepted into the marketplace: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=5031fb24-830a-40e5-b756-f08395775c87
Can't download it yet, but should be up in <24 hours. Awesome to see more emulators on the marketplace

It says app not found ... :/ have they changed their mind ?

It just takes some time before it shows up.

Yea, I like the current splash screen....Oh, yea, that's mine Just wish there was a way to get a white background depending on theme (I have both images)

I heard Sonic Jewels works but, with out sound. So, not sure if I will buy it till they get the sound working. Phantasy Star here I come (one of my all time favorate games, a ground breaking 8-bit RPG game for its time) !!!

A little trival for Sega Master system, They made Sonic for the master system in a very limited release, in fact, it's pretty rare to find a complete one and they are worth good money.

I think I read that sound is coming in the 1.2 release, I'm sure they'll make some progress. Personally I'm more curious of the performance on 1st and 2nd gen.

You could have a non-static splash screen, but it's a hacky solution and I wouldn't want to increase the loading time unnecessarily.

edit: ah cool it's out, uploaded alex kidd, phantasy star, sonic and wonderboy to my skydrive. Any other gems I'm missing? (grew up on Nintendo ;O)

 

[ryotgz]

Yea got it downloaded and loaded in some games. Plays really well so far. I've tried sonic 1 & 2, space harrier and phantasy star.
