3DNes: A 3D NES Emulator

dahood · Mar 10, 2016

Wow. I was wondering what he is using to render it in 3D. and form where did he get the source to include in his rendering program etc. Amazin project.

I've seen this before, some people say it's sick or this is disrespectful, I personally see it a good way, twists on usual NES emulation.
Some game would look pretty good on this, perhaps port to the 3DS is required, would make sense some day!

This is going to either get shut down by nintendo or we will have one hell of an emulator its 50/50 or we will get the thing no one was expecting... nintendo hiring this guy.

Can someone at least try to mirror/create a backup of this thing? Y'know, for when Nintendo sees this and grabs the DCMA hammer.

I would love to see this be a downloadable emulator.

Huh, it's not something I'd use, but it's neat none the less. I hope the project goes well for him.

it's kind of like paper mario on wii how it flips from 2d to 3d

How does this work? It can't be automatic. He'd have to write a function that recognizes objects on a 2D plain, a difficult task by itself. But then converting 2D objects into 3D? There's no way this is a real emulator. He must have remade all the sprites and textures in 3D and edited the code of the games.

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER! For reals. This looks fucking awesome

Except it is and you can load ROMs into it.

I imagine it has to have support coded in specifically for Super Mario Bros in order to make it recognize different objects as what shape they are (pipes being cylindrical, blocks being squares etc) as I don't see how it could guess that with any sort of accuracy. That probably means it won't work very well with most other games, however I'd love to see some screenshots/videos of other games being ran on it.

This is the same concept as the voxel engine here:

However from there it looks like some specific sprite work was done, there is nothing to prove that the emulator does not have a sprite database available. Logistically this could make a quick internet call to a location that has the voxelized textures and download them for use(since they would be very small). Not what it is actually doing... but possible.

Yes, this was released quite some time ago for linux by plotor. i even talked to him about a windows port at one point.. that was what.. 2 years ago

edit: yea it looks like his original page and forums are gone https://sites.google.com/site/procyonsjj/home/fce3d
