Homebrew 3DNES - NES Emulator

[alexenochs]

st4rk I just say your post on twitter congrats for this amazing achievement!!

What was achieved

Download link is dead, anyone got an alternate?

Well that's a completely BS copyright claim.
A. Sonopress GmbH doesn't exist under that name anymore
B. They produced Vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and DVDs, not Nintendo entertainment systems.
C. The media/copyright agency "Bertelsmann" handles nearly everything except video games. They do movies, music, books etc, but no video games.

st4rk : Can you upload 3DNES to filetrip? That would probably be more stable.

 

[Cyan]

why there's no link to filetrip?
that will prevent users asking for a new link every two pages.
I will upload them myself.

Edit:
http://filetrip.net/3ds-downloads/homebrew/download-3dnes-1-2-f32931.html

All versions (without an illegal ROM) from 0.2 to 1.2 are now available on filetrip. (even the 3D Test version)

edit:
I don't like when I rush, I always do mistakes !
I forgot few elements in changelogs of old versions. But most users don't read readme.txt files anyway

I checked the links sometime ago and everything was working fine, anyway thank you Cyan

I am working on CPU right now, i am trying fix some issues, timming and get more speed(Function Pointer Vector, i hope it work better than switch's), if with function pointer don't get more speed, the last way is write some parts of emulator in ARM-ASM.

I'm glad they finally fixed that filetrip site.

Hi, i was waiting for homebrew loader, but i don't have more patience to wait for it, so this week i will release a new revision.

 

[alexenochs]

awesome...honestly i dont think its going to be released anytime before mid October at the earliest as smealum wants to try to hack the new 3ds which doesnt release in japan till next month..he would then have to have it shipped over seas and work on it for a while..so maybe not even October from my understandings i cant wait to see your next release! hows the gba progress? you should create a thread describing your progress with it lol just a thought

Anyway, give me more time :3

This emulator only works for GW, how about R4 Gold Deluxe?

Hi, i just tested on Gateway(.3ds) and .cia, so i don't know if it will work.

 

[tony_2018]

I was hoping the backup carts for the 3ds would've been wide by now but its still coming down to Gateway. Damn....Looks like I'll be picking up a GW.

You can download and check, i don't know if R4 disable the signature check to work homebrews

 

[tony_2018]

Sorry, I meant that a good decent amount of backup carts would've been developed by now, unfortunately there's only 2 - 3 to choose from. I'm trying to weigh my options on what to get. I know R4 has been around and GW just entered the scene, I'm not sure who they were previously work for. I still need to source me a 3ds though. Definitely getting an XL for the larger screen.

NDS scene =/= 3DS scene

You're basing your thoughts on the fact the R4 team have been around a while. This is true, but for the DS scene. In the 3DS scene, all the R4 team have proven is that they know how to copy and paste, but that's about it. The only two choices for 3DS flashcarts (in my opinion) are Gateway (in my opinion, the obvious winner) and MT-Card.

 

[tony_2018]

HAHA, I just read the other Sticky and noticed that. I'm leaning towards the Gateway. I haven't found prices on the mt-card yet.

 

[luney]

If you want a solid cart with awesome updates and constant advances then the only one is GW. Back on topic......AWESOME job on the emulator. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us. Thanks for your hard work!

Nice!

I wonder if using a function pointer table over a big switch will improve speed much, though. Compilers generally turn big switch statements into jump tables.

However, something that could give you more speed would be storing the 6502 registers in ARM registers rather than in RAM. lolSnes/blargSnes do it this way, and I think SNemulDS goes even further but I haven't looked into it much. But the overall idea is to do the least RAM accesses possible. I don't know how slow the 3DS RAM is, but on the DS the main RAM is slow as shit, so yeah.

It took quite a while the last time I checked this emulator, it's interface looks great, good job st4rk




By the way, have you tried implementing an automatic frameskip?
Having games running at a propper speed as soon as executed would be a great feature.
