basicNES V. 0.2
posted in Emulator Release by stickfig on Apr 9th, 2001
This version of basicNES, version 0.2, looks like it might be the last for a while, according to this note in the program's readme file:
08.04.01 - NOTE: Last release for awhile, i need some time off. Feel
free to release a modded version as long as you ask me first and it
adds something that is needed/wanted ;).
David Finch gave us the information about what's new in this version:
Improved compatibility with some games.
Fixed various small bugs.
Added Idle detection, which tries to determine when the game is just wasting time until the next frame so that it can skip through most of it, speeding up some games. There's a couple glitches in the current idle detection, but it should be fixed in a day or 2. It doesn't work with all games, but those that it does run much faster.
Things that may have been in 1.1, can't remember:
Hold down 'a' for autofire
There's a scroll fix that works with some games like Mega Man 3.
Anyway, if you'd like to download the new version, go to our NES Emulator page.
