Considering we have plenty of buttons on them joycons, could you set up so that when pressing one of the secondary L/R buttons the menu pops up, instead of pressing + and - at the same time?

I would do it, but I'm sure I'd mess this thing up.

Hi there, i just uploaded a new version (3.1), see first post for downloads link.
I also uploaded a linux (ubuntu 18.04) build for easier skin development (remove zipped skins from "skins" folder and put your unzipped skin files there).

skins: use zipped skins (put zipped skins in "skins" directory)
skins: add skin selection to main options menu
skins: change "skin" path to "skins"
skins: change "ROM_ITEM" name/type to "TEXT"
skins: add "color_missing", "color_not_working" and "highlight_use_text_color" options to "ROM_LIST > TEXT" skin config
options menu: set states options menu at the first place, for easier in game access
states menu: fix bug to return to main menu with back button
states: allow loading a rom with it's state from the main rom menu
states menu: add tween position for a better effect
switch: input: use joystick click/press for either start (left joycon) or select (right joycon) on single joycon mode

Thanks for your hard work! I love the emulator.

But I found that some rom files larger than 1M could not be displayed in lists, such as 100in1, 72in1, etc.

Just found the bug: file extensions cannot be capital letter, it is so weird. but compress roms into ZIP files will work.

EDIT: zip file extensions cannot be capital letter too.
I think following code can not determine uppercase and lowercase letters。

for (auto &file : fileList) {
if (!Utility::endsWith(file.name, ".zip")
&& !Utility::endsWith(file.name, ".nes")) {
continue;
}

Your Pnes has bugs? I think theres a shampoo for that.

Thanks for another cracking Emulator but I appear to be having an issue with preview images.

I have created a previews folder in the pNES folder and put my .png files in there matching the name of the ROM file however, when loading it up, no previews are loading and I have to highlight a ROM and press the R button which then shows it. If I go to another file and then go back to the previous one, the image dissapears again and I have to press R again to get it to show.

Any ideas?

Put the png files in the "titles" folder, thats what will show when your scrolling. Then if you wanted you can put any other screenshots in the "previews" folder.

So you could put boxart in the "titles" folder, and then screenshots of the games in the "previews" folder, pressing triggers will display the screenshot etc.

Thank you

Yep, that's it thanks

It should normally use the preview image if no title image is found, but i needed to disable that due to a last minute bug (checking if a file exist is very slow since a few weeks/months on the switch, we'll have to debug that).

@cpasjuste

Thank you for your time and efforts. I'm very much enjoying your work.

I'm curious if it would be possible to better define and alter the 'JOYPAD' menu.

For example, the X key (JOY_FIRE3) rewinds the gameplay but there is no mention of this in the menu.

And is it possible to map save and load states to the 'JOYPAD' menu?

Thanks kindly for your consideration!

what is all the excitement about ? Having choice, maybe ??!! Seriously, I'll never understand this kind of questioning/statement...having choice is enough to "justify" new/alternative emulators, that's it.

Even if Retroarch is really good, it is NOT the center of emulation :teach:

You can put the "png" files into the "titles" folder and they must be renamed exactly the same as the roms themselves.

You can also put screenshots in the "previews" folder, and then you press "R" while on the games list to switch between artwork and screenshots, or titles etc.

Thank you very much. Much appreciated!

It works. Now there are a problem:

I want to replace my background and PSNES logo as well. I rename it:

MAIN :
{
texture = "skin/bg.png" to match my correct resolution size and its in .png as well as bg.png

And test it. No changed at all. I am confused. HELP?!

Has an itch needing to be scratched.
