Title: New NES emulator
Post by: Todd H on October 21, 2005, 10:36:39 pm
Anyone else tried the new NES emulator Nestopia?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nestopia/

Since Virtuanes seems to be dead, it looks like this may be something worth watching.

Just an FYI, this emulator has been around for over two years. If your looking for an NES emulator make sure you check out FCE Ultra also.

I believe this is because you don't have the correct rom, not a problem with FCE Ultra.

Have you scanned them using GoodTools?  If so what were the results?

I can vouch on this one... FCE Ultra works great for SMB, but only if you have the true rom. MOST of what's floating around out there is a bootleg rom. My guess is if you burnt that bootleg rom and stuck it into an actual NES console, it wouldn't work there either.

In any event, get the authentic rom, and it WILL work.
