puNES is a great Nintendo NES emulator for windows and linux.

1708896918966.png

– Rewritten mappers : All.
– Rewritten WRAM, VRAM, PRGROM, CHROM and Nametebles management.
– Rewritten FDS support.
. Furthermore, an option has been added to select the mode for write operations. Until now, all writes were stored on an external file (diff file) to preserve the integrity of the disk image, now it’s possible to choose to write them directly to the FDS/QD file (making it portable to other emulators as well).
. Changed the format of the diff file, now I use the IPS format (which can always be applied to the original image).
– Rewritten the format and management of save states.
WARNING save states of version 0.110 or earlier are no longer compatible.
– Rewritten the audio of the VRC7.

It is a cross-platform NES emulator. It has a native interface built using SDL2 as well as a web interface that is compiled in WASM and runs in the browser.

1696766751212.png

Changelog:

– Upgraded wgpu to 0.17.2 to pick up a bugfix for the DirectX 12 backend where resizing the window would completely crash the program. This bug apparently did not affect the other wgpu backends
– Replaced the VRC7 expansion audio implementation with a stripped-down version of the YM2413/OPLL implementation from my Sega Master System emulator, which should be more accurate and also much more efficient
– Implemented the NES PPU’s grayscale bit, which was only used in a single officially released game: Noah’s Ark (EU) uses it for the water effect covering the bottom of the screen
– Made audio buffer size configurable instead of hardcoded

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"...

Created by zeromus and rheiny (aka SP) and joined by mz, adelikat, nitsujrehtona, Ugly Joe, maximus, CaH4e3 (Demul, FCEU-MM), Sebastian Porst (FCEUXD SP), qfox and Lucas Sabota. Without forgetting the work of former authors: Bero (FCE), Xodnizel (FCEU), Bbitmaster & Parasyte (FCEU XD), Blip & nitsuja (FCEU TAS), Luke Gustafson (FCEU TAS+).

The 2.6.6 release is mainly a maintenance update for the mappers and emulation core with a few new features added in.

Some of these new features apply only to the Qt/SDL version of the GUI.

jgnes v0.6.1 is released!

  • 744
  • 0
A cross-platform NES emulator. Has a native frontend built using SDL2 as well as a web frontend that compiles to WASM and runs in the browser.
  • Significant performance improvement / reduced CPU usage due to a rewrite of the 6502 CPU emulation code
  • Fixed a PPU bug where the PPU would sometimes render the wrong backdrop color when rendering was left disabled at the start of a frame; this caused occasional top-of-screen flickering in Battletoads, which leaves rendering disabled for the first ~7 visible scanlines of every frame
  • Fixed a bug that caused PAL audio sync to time to ~49.9 FPS instead of 50 FPS
  • Added an option to have audio sync time to native NES speed (~60.1 FPS NTSC / ~50.007 FPS PAL) instead of aiming for exactly 60 FPS NTSC / 50 FPS PAL
    • Note this will cause severe audio skipping if combined with VSync on a display with 60Hz refresh rate

Fceux v2.6.5 is released!

  • 938
  • 0
FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches. The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.

The 2.6.5 release is a maintenance update that contains various fixes from a back log of bugs and feature requests over the past year.

RustyNES v0.2.0 is released. An NES emulator written in Rust!

RustyNES v0.2.0 Changelog

RustyNES's second release for all three operating systems. Mappers 0-4 are supported. A list of all NES games and their associated mappers can be found here: http://tuxnes.sourceforge.net/nesmapper.txt
This release introduces a toolbar to RustyNES, allowing you to load games and save states with a file explorer. I also changed the rendering engine from SDL2 to Pixels. Unlike SDL2, Pixels integrates with a few different window frameworks (RustyNES uses egui).
The addition of a toolbar opens new opportunities for configuring RustyNES. Maybe I'll add gamepad support one day...
