What's new

puNES v0.110 is released! (Jan 10 2023)

Qt-based Nintendo Entertainment System emulator and NSF/NSFe Music Player

  • Added support to Wayland.
  • Added support for "Fullscreen in window" with Wayland (the only type of fullscreen supported for now).
  • Added iNES/NES 2.0 header editor.
  • Added support for "Family Basic Keyboard" and "Subor Keyboard".
    • It's possible to capture and release keyboard input with the shortcut "Scrollock" and open and
      close a virtual keyboard with "CTRL+X".
    • Implemented the "Paste" function. It's possible to paste the text by dragging it in the main
      window of the emulator or copying it and then press the right mouse button and selecting "Paste".
      The text will be inserted through the simulation of the pressure of the keys and it will always
      be possible to interrupt the insertion by pressing the ESC key. During the paste, the Fast Forwarding
      will be active to reduce the waiting time.
    • Added support for the tape data recorder. Added a "Tape" submenu in the "NES" menu, also the same
      menu is present in the context menu of the main window (right click) when the Keyboard is in use.
      By default I use my own format for tape images but you can also save and load tape images
      in Virtuanes and Nestopia format.
  • Added a shortcut "M" to simulate a shout in the microphone of the second controller.
  • Renamed "Fast Forward" shortcut to "Toggle Fast Forward" and added a new "Fast Forward (hold button)" shortcut.
  • Added a Wizard to select the operating mode (portable mode or not) the first time the emulator is run.
    (Info for those who already used the emulator) To run in portable mode there are 3 distinct ways:
    • If the executable is in a folder containing the puNES.cfg file.
    • Rename the executable by adding the suffix _p.
      (Examples: punes.exe -> punes_p.exe or punes64.exe -> punes64_p.exe)
    • Run the emulator with the "--portable" option.
  • Support for XDG Base Directory Specification.
    On UNIX-Like operating systems the configuration files will be found in "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/puNES" and the rest
    in "$XDG_DATA_HOME/puNES". Also under Windows the location of the working directory has changed and will now
    be located in "C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Local\puNES". Regarding the portable mode nothing has changed, everything
    will be placed in the directory containing the executable. When the emulator is started, the old directories
    will be automatically moved to the new location. In order to open the configuration directory easily, it's always
    possible to do so via the menu items "File->Open working directory" [Windows and UNIX-Like] or
    "File->Open config directory" [UNIX-Like].
  • Added a cmake option to disable portable mode handling (useful in sandbox environments like Flatpak).
  • Added French translation (thx to Benjamin Siskoo).
  • Added German translation (thx to JacobDev).
  • Updated Chinese Simplified, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese and Russian translation (thx to owomomo, shinyoyo,
    TCH, Matheus Scattolin Anselmo and Alexey Timonin).
    It was not possible to update the Spanish and Turkish one because I lost contact with MS-PC and Ömercan Kömür.
  • Updated internal shaders.
  • Improved FDS sound emulation.
  • Fixed autoswitch timing for FDS.
  • Fixed decimal mode support.
