[NES Emulator] vNESLight

[DavidinCT]

Tried some of the COM interop, but I can only get it to work with the included "ToUnicodeConverter.dll" interface, every other com interface I've tried to import just fails.

Might do a smaller update to vNESLight, just doing some bugfixes on the file downloader, graphics on controls and support for adding files via isolated storage tool.

You figured out how to use the USB Drive storage area ? If so, Nice. That will make thing SOOOO easy to drop roms on.

Actually I just used http://wptools.codeplex.com/

However I had to do a couple of changes to get it to upload files to the correct folder, I'll try to commit the changes on codeplex as well. I'm pretty sure it just uses the way the command line tools does to upload/browse files.

Neat, Looking forward to checking it out.

Hi, does it only works with Mango? I tried it with my unlocked HTC HD7 with NoDo and I get an install error prompt. Tried several side loading apps, even to remove the big files from the .xap file and no luck. I noticed that inside the .xap there are couple of files named "xxmangoxx...".

Yes, it only works on Mango, he said that on the first page.

Any idea when you will be releasing a fixed rom downloader version?

Not sure u can do that right now unless u can edit the xnb files inside the xap. (Content/Textures/Controller)

Dimensions for the d-pad is 60x60 and the hitboxes are 80x80 so there's room to increase the artwork.

I'm leaning towards making the controls completly transparent with some feedback when u press like someone suggested.

Once I get the time to do it, shouldn't be much work.

Not completly transparent, but just a little bit visible, maybe 10% of 100%? And great work with Beta 2, I'll expect from Beta 3 or oficial release? more new ideas to new version from you.

I'll prolly make it somewhat customizeable, gonna rework the settings page to make it more clean.

Prolly Beta 3 (version 0.3) I'll make the jump to final once I feel it's good enough.

 

[DavidinCT]

Right now the controller graphics are separate files, if u have any suggestions for graphics png or jpg will do just fine. Full screen mode will be added eventually, I'm doing as much work as time is willing.

A project is never finished

If you can restore the demo games that means u haven't replaced the nesgames.zip inside the xap file. 7zip should work fine, I've only tested with winrar though. Just follow the guide on the first post to the letter and it should work.

How's progress coming ? If you need images, I created some a few pages back for you if you want to use them (controls and back drop of a controller).

I wonder if you could add, for example, when your playing a game, hit the camera button quickly and create a save game (AKA a shortcut of some type). I know if you hold the camera, it will turn it on but, a quick push ?

I don't think you have access to the camera button, but I could be wrong.

I've fixed the web downloader and I'm testing a few things with the controls. Gonna add automatic detection of new roms, so u could add/remove games via an isolated storage file manager before I put out the next beta.

Wish I had one of those new 1.4-1.5Ghz devices.. kinda disappointed some of the new devices are still rocking the 1Ghz CPU, but maybe the new GPU helps some as well.

I can't believe Microsoft doesn't remove a stolen emulator with roms in them.

So I've decided to submit the beta 3 to the marketplace, to see if we can get a clear answer regarding emulators.

I just have to sort out a few things, then I'll get a xap link for the rest of you and I'll keep everyone updated regarding the marketplace submission.
