thx masterall !!

gonna try this as soon as possible

is it posssible to make a list of the working roms please ??

(and the non working roms ;) )

it would be much better for those who want to try the emulator...

[Guest doudz]

hey masterall, why don't you manage with parallax20 to use the other file explorer ? cause the only bad thingin your emu is this trial message when loading roms ....

cheers and thanks for your powerfull work !!!!

[Guest masterall]

éron:

The games working may be long~~

NNNesterj has good compatibility, so does it.

It can play all games NNNesterj could theoretically.

doudz:

I am working on the file explorer now actually. The new file explorer might be available soon.

[Guest doudz]

great news!!!

I test pocketnesterplus and i had some few problems with rc pro am cause some bottom lines don't appear... and there's problem of "persistant" (sorry i'm french) in game screen when pausing end leaving the games....

one last thing make something to bind the backspace key please !!!! just like in you're pocketsnes you do !

i've few others comments about both emus, but i don't know if it will bother you.... the work you made is alreaady so amazing.... but if you want some help to make them perfect, you can compte on me! (I'm not programmer but great beta tester I think...)

cheers

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I guess I knew what you mean for "persistant", but I havn't found the reason for the problem yet. And what you mean of "rc pro"?

Sorry, I know little Francais...

It is great if you would like to help with emulator test!

[Guest doudz]

RC pro AM is one of the first RARE games!!! and the bottom of the game screen is missing !

and please let us bind the backspace !!!

[Guest mabury10]

I'm guessing it would be a bit [offtopic]to be asking where I could find NES-roms?[/offtopic]. Only asking because an emulator will be great fun, but surely not without games to be playing on it.

thanks

[Guest catman3]

Respectfully, how is this different than the one that Parallax had updated?

Regards,

Craig

[Guest masterall]

doudz:

OK, I will add pause key setting in the next version.

catman3:

Sorry, I havn't test Parallax's updated version yet. I guess the differences is more mapper is supported in my version.

[Guest Sly123]

HI,

i just need to say something. Your emulator is awesome. the auto frameskip works really good! almost all games run perfectly.

There are only a few slowdowns but the rest is well done. big thanks for this ;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks! And what you mean slowdown? In some games?

[Guest doudz]

hey !

everything is getting better and better, and it's sounds good!!! playing nes snes and genesis is awesome.

I always get the same probleme while playinr RC pro am (I can't tell if in the other game it's the same) : a few bottom line aren't displayed... so I just can't see my stock of ammo ....

and as I told you last time when you pause the game, or leave the emu the game screen stay on background until you use home key or something like that....

cheers.

PS masterall, if you have msn, give me your adress for some debriefing !

[Guest Sly123]

Thanks! And what you mean slowdown? In some games?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

if there are too much moving objects its slows down on my mpx220. maybe just not enough cpu power. it would need optimizing ore overclocking i think ;)

[Guest masterall]

@doudz

You can try to enable display all 240 scanlines in graphics setting of PocketNesterPlus. And the second problem you mentioned, has been fixed, and will released in the next version.

@Sly123

Do you remember the mappers which used in the game that slowed down?

[Guest CharlyV]

how can i see what mappers are used?

File > ROM info...

[Guest doudz]

hey hey hey !!!

masterall great god !!!

i've tried the 240 scanlines modes in version 0.5 of pocketnesterplus and it works perfect... except cause you know there always a problem for french people ;) when I finish a race in RC pro AM the screen display the right image and the mirror image alternating fastly (top is bottom and bottom is top( i cant tell if left and right alternate too) )... jard to describe with my bad english...

and there is always this kind of remaining screen when you pause or load a game...

except this few detail you ve done an amaizind work dude !!!! and i hope you re managing releasing a GBA emulator....!!!

good work, hame's god!!!

cheers

[Guest obiwanblee]

I seem to have the same problem on all your ports masterall - the games will load, run very fast for a few seconds, then lock up for 30 seconds, then smooth again, etc. I have an SMT5600, and I am at my wits end as to why this is happening.

If anyone has ANY idea, please let me know.

[Guest Halcyon]

Hello to all,

I am a new owner of the T-Mobile MDA (running Windows Mobile 5) which I purchased 2 days ago. I have been struggling since then to find a NES emulator that will work properly in landscape mode! I am at my wits end here...sigh... I can successfully load the emu as well as the roms, but regardless of what my controller settings are, they are always completely backwards! Example:

With the keyboard extended, the EMU switches to landscape mode and all is well.

The ROMs load, run, look and sound amazing!!!

My controls are as follows (this has a full QWERTY keyboard BTW):

Left - A

Right - D

Up - W

Down - Z

A button - L

B button - K

Start - Y

Select - T

It seems that regardless of what I setup the keys to be, its as if the EMU thinks it is still in portrait mode and adjusts the keys as such... does anyone know how to force the keys to remain the same *and* work as desired in landscape? I would be immensely appreciative of any help anyone can provide!!

what do you mean "after I changed it right"???

[Guest masterall]

@doudz

Actually, I have worked with the new dynarec thumb core for GBA for almost 2 weeks. Most instructions worked well, I will build a new version as soon as I finish it.

@obiwanblee

It is really weird! Do you have the similar problem with other emulators port by someone else? And try uncheck autoskip frame in PocketSNES.

@Halcyon

It havn't been tested with a qwerty keyboard. The key setting will rotate corresponding to the display setting. For example, when you set A for up, then it will use A for up in portrait mode, and A for right in Left Landscape mode, for left in Right Landscape mode.

[Guest kevinsephiroth]

for those who wanna a custom english tgetfile.dll without prompt every 5 save/load state or rom:

i don't know how much time it will last on rapidshare so grab it now (if you are like me and hate having a window popping up every five load rom or state)

this file is to put in your windows directory, and replace the older one. it will work for pocketnester, pocketsnes, and picodrive (all ports of masterall).

(credit goes to mavipolo who made it)TgetFille.DLL.zip

[Guest zfunk007]

I've been playing with this emulator for about a month now and I must say it works great! Great compatibility and sound! Now for a few bugs, portrait mode doesn't work quite right for some reason. There are weird lines running horizontally across the screen when I try it. Also I think there is a problem with the vertical scroll. When I was playing through Dragon Warrior I noticed a lot of flickering when I walked vertically, not so much horizontally. It's no big deal though, the games still work great!

I also couldn't get Dragon Warrior 2 to work. It just freezes my phone and I have to pull the battery out to get it to turn off. Can someone else test this for me to see if it has the same efffect? Could be the ROM. I will try some other ones.

Any plans to update this emulator anymore Masterall? It works great as it is, but I'm curious..
