fceu 0.96

[finisher]

Hi. I REALLY need to get the NES emulator, FCEU 0.96. I need that specific version as the later ones have a compatibility problem with a game.

Thanks

Out of curiosity, what game are you trying to play and what specific compatibility issue is cropping up? Are you pretty much tied to FCEU or would you be open to trying a different emulator?

I have an older version of FCE Ultra on my Dell laptop at home. When I get done at work, I'll check to see what version it is. I know it is not one of the newest ones.

EDIT: Oh, looks like you found a source! NM, then :)

Seeing as I never bother updating anything, I just so happen to have that exact version.

The version I have has choppy gameplay in Castlevania 3 and Zelda II, though that could be the case with all versions of FCE Ultra. Zelda II is still very playable but Castlevania 3 is basically unplayable in my version. It also does not let me disable the screen saver through the program, despite offering me an option to do so.

Nestopia?

Nestopia?

Was that in reply to me? If so, I have that emulator as well but never tried Castlevania 3 on there. But I was debating which version of FCE Ultra I have, since it is an earlier one that runs Castlevania 3 like mud.

If that reply was for someone else, never mind :)

Nestopia?

Yea, Nestopia and VirtuaNES (if your machine is a little too ghetto for Nestopia) are what I always recommend to people having any sort of compatibility issues.

and this thread makes me want to plow through some NES games. I haven't played any since Radia Senki last year :( Not sure what to go for, though Castlevania III is pretty tempting.

NEStopia obsessively strives for absolute perfection. My only beef with it is that it comes at the price of CPU power, but pretty much any PC built in the last 5 or 6 years can handle it just fine.

Good, then mine could. I have 3-4 different emulators that a guy put on my laptop for me, along with a bunch of others from a Retro Gamer magazine disc that I could install if need be. I've only ever used FCE Ultra, though. It handles Dragon Warrior, Pirates, Zelda I and Zelda II perfectly well and those are the only games I ever use on it regularly. Everything else I want to use I can just play on a tv.

Actually, I could just play THOSE on a tv, too. I own those four games but I don't trust old NES cartridge batteries that much to invest a lot of hours into games on original hardware.

A homebrew "ultimate doom" game (i think a pirate), which was actually made pretty good. And I prefer FCEU because it is really cool and nice, especially with making cheats and such. I also became family-friendly with it. When I played this Doom game with the later version of FCEU, the intro is black and when I pause the game. Then, some monsters become invisible with dots showing now and again. Other emulators fail to play this well at all, too. Thanks for the link.

Anyway, which emulators do you think is better than FCEU? Or better yet, what features other emulatos have that FCEU don't? (I'm being honest)

Yeah, it is very user friendly, I think. Game Genie codes are a cinch to enter. Like I said above, FCE Ultra is the only one I have ever used. I've got a ton of other NES emulators on some Retro Gamer magazine disc and some more on a PC Gamer disc. I suppose there are far better NES emulators out there than the particular one I am using. Same with the GBA, SNES & Genesis emulators but they are "good enough" and I own all of those systems except the SNES.

I don't "update" my emulators all the time. As you know, sometimes updating a program isn't the best idea. At least it never was with instant messenger services, internet browsers or a hundred other things online. You get new features you don't want and old ones you became accustomed to are dropped. Half the time, once you update you are not able to "go back", if you don't like it, unless you happen to locate the earlier version somewhere. What a headache that can be at times.

True. Besides, FCEU is improving nicely and its cheat making system is so good and basic that it's easy. What does another emulator have that this doesn't THAT is really cool, luxurious, important in ways and comforting?

[kainemaxwell]

This better then JNES?

[finisher]

Well, sure. It has just about everything JNES has except pre-made cheats for US games (which can be easily copy-n-pasted into the game genie cheats of FCEU) and Kaillera (but how many people use this?)

I wouldn't say it's improving nicely since it's been abandoned by its author for nearly three years. There's been some unofficial updates, but nothing earth-shattering.

NEStopia (http://nestopia.sourceforge.net/) is far and away the "best" Nintendo emulator because of its cycle-exact emulation. Its limiting drawback is the relatively high system requirements compared to other emulators. It's got on the fly ips patching, realtime rewind, netplay, avi recording, etc.

I've been using VirtuaNES (http://virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/) for a few years that always ranked second in AEP's compatibility tests. At the time I started using it, it had the easiest AVI recording function, though now it's a pretty common feature amongst NES emulators (thank god!). NEStopia supports far more mappers (201 vs ~140) and is more "perfect", but VirtuaNES has lower system requirements.

UberNES (http://www.ubernes.com/) is comparatively new, but it has a bunch of neat little features that make it unique. It supports online high score tracking (http://www.ubernes.com/highscores.html) in some games, tracks your usage for numbers of times you play a game and total time spent playing that game, has its own game database (http://www.ubernes.com/database.html), a snazzy movie recording (http://www.ubernes.com/nesmovies.html) mode and online movie gallery browser, built in game genie support from an online database, etc.

FCEU does seem to me to be the best emulator for playing pirate originals or other obscure mapper games like that.

Try out the custom FCEU-mm build here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fceumm/

It still doesn't have perfect support,, but it's the best I've found.

Some fceu builds have a truckload of demo/video recording/using features. Also, FCEU is only being updated unofficially, though this doesn't affect anything. FCEU supports 250 mappers, i think i saw last. Emulation speed may be a very good feature, but it's most important on compatibility and function.
