posted in Emulator Release by swampgas on Feb 4th, 2001

FCE Ultra is a good NES emulator..both the Windows DX and Linux SVGAlib versions have been updated. Here's the changes:
  • Added support for iNES mappers 86 and 89.
  • Reduced byte size of the NSF player's background.
  • Adjusted CPU/PPU timing.
  • Fixed sound channel frequency calculations for when PAL emulation is enabled.
  • Rewrote large pieces of the sound code and got rid of the sound queue. Sound quality should be slightly better now.
  • Various minor bug fixes. And specifically for the Windows DX port:
  • Fixed an FDS side reset bug when a new game is loaded.
  • Screen width/depth/height changes while FCE Ultra is in windowed mode are handled now.
  • Changed the configuration file format.
  • Added a palette configuration dialog.
  • Added the ability to load a custom NES palette.
  • Added an option to double 16-bit sound volume.
  • Added an option to force 8-bit sound.
  • Added an option to use a secondary sound buffer(versus the primary).
  • Added an option to wait for vertical blank if sound is disabled.
  • Added an option to run while focus is lost. Grab it from the NES emulators or the Unix NES emulators.
