fixNES


Description

fixNES a hobbyist a NES Emulator for windows, source code for those who prefer to compile their own.

 

This is yet another NES Emulator which was written so I can learn about the NES, right now it is not in the most "complete" or cleanest state.

 

If you want to check it out for some reason I do include a windows binary in the "Releases" tab, if you want to compile it go check out the "build" files.

 

You will need freeglut as well as openal-soft to compile the project, it should run on most systems since it is fairly generic C code.


NTSC and PAL .nes ROMs are supported right now, it also creates .sav files if the chosen game supports saving.

 

Supported Mappers:

  • 0,1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,13,15,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,33,34,36,37,38,41,44,45,46,47,48,52,57,58 61,62,66,70,71,75,76,78,79,85,87,88,89,93,94,95,97,99,101,112,113,118,119,133,140,144,145, 46,147,148,149,152,154,174,180,184,185,200,201,202,203,205,206,210,212,225,226,228,232, 32,240 and 242.

Supported Audio Expansions:

  • VRC6, VRC7, FDS, MMC5, N163

 

Normal .nes files are supported, if you are starting a PAL NES title then make sure it has (E),(Europe), (Australia),(France),(Germany),(Italy),(Spain) or (Sweden) in the filename to be started in PAL mode.

 

You can also play FDS titles if you have the FDS BIOS named disksys.rom in the same folder as your .fds/.qd files.

 

You can also listen to .nsf files, changing tracks works by pressing left/right.

 

To start a file, simply drag and drop it into the fixNES Application or call it via command line with the file as argument.

 

You can also use a .zip file, the first found supported file from that .zip will be used.

 

Controls right now are keyboard only and do the following:

  • Y/Z is A
  • X is B
  • A is Start
  • S is select
  • Arrow Keys is DPad
  • Keys 1-9 integer-scale the window to number
  • P is Pause
  • B is Disk Switching (for FDS)
  • O is Enable/Disable vertical Overscan
  • If you really want controller support and you are on windows, go grab joy2key, it works just fine with fixNES (and fixGB).

 

That is all I can say about it right now, who knows if I will write some more on it.
