3DNes: A 3D NES Emulator
Developed by Geod Studio, the emulator is still in beta mode and has been released this week for all of us to try. You can do so right here. Be warned that it currently works only on Firefox browser and while Super Mario Bros. being the most successfully emulated, not all games are compatible.
Check out the developer's Youtube Channel for more such videos.
It might be in its early days but this project is worth checking out. Geod Studio's Trần Vũ Trúc even quit his job to go all out for his passion! The developer wrote the emulator himself, further adding that "the essential difference between it and any normal emulator is the PPU. I call it - 3D PPU which will render the game on 3D buffer". He also hints about allowing manual adjustments for certain games in the future but is focusing on having a "strong emulation engine as the backbone" for now. Furthermore, he adds that "if the emu can render decently 1/4, 1/5 or even 1/10 nes game collection, it's already a big success for me".
Although in beta state, the whole concept is worth praising. I'm sure most of us can't wait to see more games running on the emulator and possibly having it running on other platforms. Until then, we can rejoice over the videos at the very least.
[UPDATE] Turns out that the man behind the project is now a Temper under the username @geod80 and made a thread about it earlier. Check it out here. And if he finds the time, he might answer some of the most pertinent questions.
