Homebrew RELEASE LaiNES - A cycle accurate NES Emulator

[the_randomizer]

Seems to run just fine on a Tegra X1 Shield TV though:

Except, the X1 Shield runs at a higher clock speed, Switch CPU has been downclocked. I doubt Bsnes will run well.

Known issues so far:
- Joystick is wonky still, use the DPad for now.
- Speed seems to be at 120% for some folks, I'll take a look and adjust the framerate in the next release
- Freezes arbitrarily in some games - Had this issue in testing on a handful of games. A number of them were solved with a few changes, but it looks like Mario and LoZ have the issue after playing for about a minute. I'll take a look ASAP.

Thanks for the feedback folks!

Thanks for your work! It's loading up just fine now on 4.1.0 but it looks like certain roms have issues. I also tried Mega Man 2 and it froze after a little bit, when I selected the character to be exact. And the other rom I tried was Battletoads but it does not load at all. It's just frozen at the rom selection screen until I go back to the home screen. I'll test out some more games but thank you anyway for your effort in bringing us the NES emulator.

Thank you for this release! I've done some testing and here are some of the issues ive encountered so far.

Most of the games I tried run well for a minute and then crash. Menu needs a lot of work. Cant go back on certain screens. On rom menu, screen cuts off text on the right side, also once you get to the bottom of shown ROM list, it will not show anything past Double Dragon on my test. You can still go down but won't be able to see what's being selected. Here's a screenshot:

Most games fail to run, had super mario 1 start up and 1 other but that's it.

Joystick issue as described already.

Some games freeze.

Needs some optimization.

thanks you but game freeze

Every Switch homebrew that I have tried crashes in docked mode. I have literally tried dozens, this one included. Most of them work flawlessly in handheld mode though.

Quick update: I believe I found the freezing issue and haven't had one since on my build.

The only issue is that my fix introduced some lag on a few select games. One of them being LoZ, which is a big problem (in my opinion).

In terms of the UI, I should be able to fix scrolling through the romlist no problem, but in terms of truncating the right side of the name I don't think it's worth fixing. If you have a 40 character rom name, that's on you.

With any luck I should be able to get the speed where I want it by the end of the week at which point I'll put out a new release. Until then it's time for me to go pass the fuck out.

We're limited to what libnx or libtransistor provides us and right now handheld is really the only thing that works well. It will come in time as the toolchains mature.

Oh you're on a different account op?

Nope, just didn't have an account on here (and can't post links with a new account) so they took care of the initial post for me.

Aww cool. Thanks for the hard work!

Great work! but several games crash right in the beggining. I m on 4.1.0

Games crashing:

Metal Gear
duck tales

 

[Leonidas87]

This emulator is a nice start to being able to play some CLASSIC NES titles.

Thanks a lot to the developer.

Have a video up which shows a bunch of games that DO and DO NOT work.

Emulator seems picky with games on its roms/regions.

Also you will notice freezing in some games in the video.

I'm sure all this will be worked out.

Running nice on 4.1.0 and 5.0.2 in my testing

 

[Type_O_Dev]

Yep! Tested on 5.0.2, so should work on 5.0.0, I am testing on 4.1.0 now.

Im on 5.0.1 getting crashing on most games. tried multiple versions of rom. super mario 3 will load to world map but crash when about to take control of it. Mario 1 works great super fast. I can see this being a perfect emu

 

[xXxSwagnemitexXx]

this is really good, just the speed needs to be sorted out and more comaptability

 

[Hondyn]

Have realized games crash whenever i try to attack an opponent using any sort of attack in the majority of the games

 

[jt_1258]

could someone unzip this and reupload it as a normally zipped file? I'm dealing with a crappy school chromebook right now so I can't do it. :/

 

[Trunks2304]

getting a black screen on boot?

 

[Jhynjhiruu]

Not sure if anyone else has said - works great on 3.0.0, but it crashes a LOT. Doesn't seem to support PAL games, er, at all, from my limited tests.

An NES emulator homebrew released before Nintendo's official Classic Game Service.
Ouch.

Still good progress though.

I suppose the one place nintys nes emu service wins out is net play...but I suppose the cloud saves would be nice too but their nes games...
