iNES v3.0

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Jan 25th, 2005

iNES, an NES emulator for Windows, DOS and *nix, has been updated today. Here is what's new:
  • Extended .NES file specification with a flag for PAL cartridges. See my NES Architecture Document for details. iNES now allows to force PAL (-pal), NTSC (-ntsc), or select the mode automatically by the cartridge header.
  • When you buy iNES-Windows, you now also get iNES-MSDOS.
  • Added DirectDraw-based full screen mode to iNES-Windows. Press [ALT]+[ENTER] to switch in and out of the full screen mode. Use it with caution, as DirectDraw is notoriously unstable.
  • Added support for mapper 13 (CPROM).
  • Added support for mappers 79 (Nina-3) and 81 (Nina-6).
  • Fixed mapper 25 (VRC4B) to allow writing to cartridge RAM.
  • Fixed a minor bug (typo) in the screen driver, thanks to Aaron Oneal.
  • Added fast-forwarding option ([F9], also [PGUP] in Windows and Unix).
  • Fixed incorrect label on the "Sync to..." slider in iNES-Windows.
  • Raised the maximal "Sync to..." frequency to 80Hz.
  • Window size and position are now saved on exit in iNES-Windows.
You can grab this from our NES for Windows and *nix sections.
