Post by: Olle on March 11, 2005, 01:14:12 PM

After some time of hard work i can finally release a few emulators
that i hope will bring some enjoyment to you all.

First out is amiNES v0.65: (Nintendo 8-bit emulator)

Changes in this update:
- Gui slightly modified

- Added support for gamestates, load and save gamestate instantly.

Second is WarpSNES V1.42: (Nintendo SNES Emulator)

Oh, and a bonus download:

Congratulatins.

The screenshots look very professional.  How does the software compare to the original hardware.  Is the running speed comparable?

magicmerl:well professional emus for professional os :-) , seriously we tried our best to get as much as possible to look good, as in... a standard and reaction is good at such.

as for how they perform, u can run them 1:1 if you want or scale it and so on and that without any speed loss etc.

Cool, something to look forward to "When it's done!" (the OS that is). Anyone know if there is an N64 and/or playstation emulator done or in the works?

As they said FPSE is out since ages. For N64 emulation, without 3D hardware acceleration, it will be SLOW, so I guess after the update with WarpUP support someone would try his/her skills on this.

As usual your enthusiasm astounds me.

What about ROM's.  May be a silly question but are any available legally.  If so, how about a link to download some.

magic-merl: use the pouet website for psx demos and nes, n64 etc.. all legal and Demoscene oriented...lots of quality stuff there.

if u dont know what pouet is...use google.

okay, how about PS2?  :-D

I'm assuming no, as even the ones for the PC are beta(more like alpha really) or very basic (ie. only runs a handfull of games).
