MuNES Screenshots

[mudlord]

I started work on my NES emulator..

Here's a prelim shot for those interested.

Notice how I haven't finished the GUI, yet the backend is functional, ish....
DirectSound8 and DInput8 needs to be implemented yet.

All rendering is done in OpenGL via 3D textures, not surfaces.

Sounds VERY interesting already. Looking forward to updates ;P

Thanks, krom has ported for me my Rice Video/BSNES HLSL pixel shaders to GLSL syntax, so I am planning for custom filter support in the 1st public release, as well as loads other things like savestate support etc..

If you are interested in private tests, on the VBA-M forum staff section, I might post builds there...

Sounds cool. I've tried a lot of NES emulators and they all have their own nice little quirks but none have it all. What's your goal with this emulator?

My main goal is simplicity and speed.

Due to the emulator core, accuracy has been sacrificed for pure speed. So I hope this will be a decent emulator for those systems that are very low in system specs. Though, for more advanced computers, visual effects will be the main focus.

I love NES, so thanks for this new emu . Looking forward for updates and releases!!

Have you tried Nestopia lately. Awesome NES emu imo. It has many nice features, and if it doesn't have what you want, then you probably didn't look hard enough.

Cool, nice to see a new project from you muddy. You're a very talented coder and I can see this becoming an awesome emu in the future if you keep continue working on it.

Decisions, decisions.

Thankyou! ^_^

And I will keep working on it...Speaking of which...
And I'll keep working on VBA-M, too. There's still loads of things I want to work on in regards to that.

Yup, Marty did a amazing job on it. Its got loads of features, its up to BSNES's level of accuracy while being excellently optimized, uses blargg's nes_ntsc filter.....So, I recommend Marty's emulator as a alternative to mine if you are really after accuracy.

He is super talented. Beats me. Whoever can make a cycle accurate NES emulator, and make it super fast deserves a lot of kudos. And I know blargg and Marty currently are the only one's that made a NES emulator do that (blargg's QuickNES for Mac is absolutely insane).

looks cool.
would be interesting to have some scaling filters in the future.

is there a reason you're using DirectSound8 for sound, while using OpenGL for graphics?

Yes.

Backwards compatibility with Windows 95. Using DX9 will limit things especially when it comes to drivers. So, using DSound8 and OpenGL (which is on all Windows versions since 95), seemed to be the best solution. Plus, I think OpenGL > DX9.

And yes, I hope to add scaling filters like 2xsai, havent decided yet.

Nestopia can't boot 15 of my roms, Jnes can boot all of my roms xD

Dragon Warrior 4 being one of them.

oh, i thought you were using OpenGL for cross-platform (non-windows) support.
and when you said you were using directsound8 i got confused

maybe it's just be better to use OpenAL or some other crossplatform API for sound, so you don't limit your emu to windows systems.
but then you can't use directInput either

meh, it doesn't really concern me since I'm on XP
but it'll probably make the linux and mac users happy

Ah, tis okay, these misinterpretations happen .

Yes, then I would be forced to use *shudders* SDL. Ick. Though OpenAL isn't bad, the runtimes are heavy in size though.

but it'll probably make the linux and mac users happy

My emulator is not targeted at Linux or Mac. They have Nestopia/FakeNES for that.

[cottonvibes]

oh i thought nestopia was windows-only

anyways, i look forward to your first release

I'm kind of a simpleton...I mainly use NESten. The only problem is that my 360 controller doesn't configure exactly the way I want it to, which is kind of my fault since I haven't installed XBCD

I will check out NEStopia though. I think the last time I downloaded it was...years ago.

Looking forward to the release of MuNES as well

More....

Added functional ROM selection, functional savestate loading/saving. Fixed aspect ratio and texture scaling.

Need to work on the input/sound I/O systems before its really usable....

Yah, it supports Linux and Mac too.

I think Arbee ported Nestopia to Linux.
I know for a fact Richard Bannister ported it to Mac.

looks cool.

have you not been able to get in-game due to the lack of Input system?

and maybe an FPS counter would be a nice feature

Correct

That is why.

and the FPS counter idea sounds cool. I might check it out :P

[hanibal81]

mmm, include SState (save/load slots) feature.
