I love your emulators. I use both this and the snes9x for 3ds. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Probably not the place to ask this but you mentioned dbz rpg 2/3, what is this? Google was no help.

Hey @bubble2k16!
Two questions...
1.- Any chance to have Nestopia palettes on your VirtuaNES?
2.- Any feedback about your progress on the Picodrive port?

Hmm... Nestopia palettes are currently not on my priority. :)

As for Picodrive, I don't have any time now to look at it. I'll probably want to carry over features from Snes9x to VirtuaNES and TemperPCE first, iron out some bugs before I start on Picodrive / Genesis.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

I think DBZ RPG is Dragonball Z ()

Yup. As a side note, if you are using an Old 3DS it's probably going to be very slow. The Old 3DS is already being pushed close to its max without a special chip. With SuperFX, frame rates will definitely tank. You can discuss about this over at the Snes9x 3DS thread.

@bubble2k16 do you plan to release an update for virtuanes in the near future? I want to test some games and would wait for the update.

Yes, I am planning for an update to carry over features from Snes9x 3DS. But I'm currently doing that for TemperPCE first, and fixing a number of bugs that you pointed out (especially those ARM11 crashing ones), and a couple of others.

Any updates to VirtuaNES 3DS may take a while.

Okay, thanks.:)

Hi all, newbie here.

First off I'd like to congratulate the creator, @bubble2k16, for a fantastic job, this is a kick ass emulator.

So now to my real reason I'm here...

I'm trying to create the .chx files but I cant get them to be seen by the emulator and I'm getting a bit flustered. If someone can make them work for me I would really appreciate it!

Cheers!

EDIT: I figured it out. It was Notepad complicating things.

Yay! v1.00 is released!

Changes include:

- Added key mappings to fast forward (capped at 180 FPS), and open the emulator menu.
- Updated configuration menu
- Added feature to auto-save state
- Migrated and fixed some mappers from VirtuaNESEx (thanks to the authors of VirtualNESEx)
- The following mappers are fixed/added: 4, 7, 16, 23, 34, 47, 49, 52, 65, 69, 71, 73, 74, 86, 91, 92, 121, 132, 141, 148, 150, 162, 163, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 189, 190, 194, 198, 199, 212, 235, 237, 240, 241, 252
- Fixed VS mapper for Super Mario Bros
- Added ability to map any 3DS key to insert coin for VS games
- Fixed Lagrange Point VRC7 emulation for the Old 3DS by playing at 20KHz. The old 3DS was too slow to render sounds at 32KHz or even at 22KHz.
- Minor optimizations for sound generation.
- A number of games are fixed due to the mapper updates. Examples are: Crisis Force (Japan), Feng Yun (Ch), San Guo Zhi (Ch), and many others.

Awesome, congrats on the v1.00 release.
With that many mappers fixed and supported, I wonder what titles are still not working.

A small number of titles I know still don't work:

- Athletic Games and Fire Hawk seems to have some problem. Not sure what is the problem though...

- Rush'n Attack (Europe) version has a tendency to lock up randomly when starting the game. Not sure why... should just use the US version one.

- And some other 3D racing games like Slalom has some got visual artifacts (probably related to inaccurate timing issues), but nothing too- unplayable though.

- Those VS dualsystem games won't work.

- I think a lot of those unlicensed Chinese games don't work. But if anyone has a thing for them, as some members on this forum do, a lot of Chinese games work well too. :)

I only hope I never broke any games that were previously working! :rofl2:


And btw, Merry Christmas to all!!!! :grog::grog::grog:

Impressive stuff! I'm looking forward to trying out Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, as that game does some special heatwave effects on Pharaoh Man's stage.
By the way, the v1.00 download link in the first post is actually still for v0.92

Hmmm found some small bugs with the cheats and also some mapper problem with Kabuki Quantum Fighter. Will post a quick fix tonight.

Haha... I totally missed your comment about the link. I've updated the first page. Thanks for pointing out!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
