| -- Download Link -- Some of you might remember a while ago in the programming forum I was hitting people up to help on a front for this emu I was working on. Well -- after a while I just decided to go ahead with it myself. Schpune is what has developed since then! It's got a lot of basic emu features, though it's nothing super-spectacular yet (still very young and in early/mid stages of development). Basic feature lists: - savestate support (typical 10 slot system like most emus have) - basic fastforwarding capabilites (with configurable hotkey -- put it on your gamepad!) - soft IPS patching on file load - .pal files can be associated with individual roms - sound channel panning/inversion techniques similar to those found in NotSo Fatso - sound channel options can be saved as presets and can be associated with individual roms - not crappy movie support. Savestates can be saved/loaded during movie recording to record cheatish movies. movies won't lose sync (I don't know why some emus have a real hard time with that) - various graphics filters (Hq2x, 2xSai, Super Eagle, Super2xSai) Supported Mappers (with some example games) 0 (Super Mario Bros. - Ice Climber - Balloon Fight) 1 (Final Fantasy - Legend of Zelda - Castlevania 2 - Megaman 2) 2 (Castlevania - Megaman) 3 (Solomon's Key) 4 (Super Mario Bros 2, 3 - Megaman 3-6 - Crystalis - a million other games) 5 (Castlevania 3 - Just Breed - Uchuu Keibitai SDF) 7 (Battletoads - Marble Madness) 9 (Mike Tyson's Punch Out) 10 (Fire Emblem) 11 (Crystal Mines) 24 (Akumajou Densetsu) 26 (Madara - Esper Dream 2) 66 (Dragon Power) 69 (Gimmick! - Batman: Return of the Joker) 71 (Mig 29 Soviet Fighter - Fire Hawk) FME-07 sound supported (Gimmick!) MMC5 sound supported (Just Breed) VRC6 sound supported (Akumajou Densetsu, Madara, Esper Dream 2) *** Note that this is a beta, and I'm only posting it here for feedback/bug reports and the like. This is not a "real" release -- so I ask that you please do not redistribute it anywhere. Please lemme know what you guys all think. Ideas for improvements, bug reports, and ROMs the emu has problems with are all greatly appreciated. |

As per usual, top notch stuff  A few things though, I noticed:- Doesn't accept command-lines (Although, I presume this will be added in the future - It has severe problems with my Castlevania ROM hack. I made a few alterations to the game (changed mappers, switched to CHR-ROM), and it seems to work on pretty much every emulator I tried, except for Schpune. It's probably something in one of my hacks (highly likely, I was learning as I went along), but I can send you the ROM if you want to check it out. |

Maybe a fullscreen option or something? What kind of options would you want through the commandline?
It probably would be easiest for me to figure out if I had a copy of the ROM (could see the problems first hand, make a trace, find the problem). If you're willing, you can slip a copy to disch_[at]yahoo[dot]com and I'll take a gander. |

Elite runs exactly the same way as FCE ultra does, and as glitchy too... (and works perfectly in PAL mode for some reason thought on both emulators... even if it isn't a PAL ROM last I checked  )Elite is some public domain 3D shooter game for the NES, if you didn't heard about that game. Sure there is still some mappers to support, but the only game I couldn't run at all was Snake rattle n roll and that was becuse of the mapper being unsupported. The rest of the games ran perfectly. I am surprised how good this emulator was. Perfomance wise Schpune! is just so much better than FCE ultra, Schpune! will be the emulator I would use on old computers as it takes less resoruces from what I have seen.

Originally posted by dan Cool. I'll add that to the to-do list. As for your castlevania hack... yes that is very strange . I'll definatly have to look into that more.Originally posted by Kitten YifferElite runs exactly the same way as FCE ultra does, and as glitchy too... After a quick check on the nesdev boards... it appears that Elite made the Hall of Shame, meaning it may work on some emulators, but not all, and most definatly will not work on the actual system (so it's not really an NES homebrew -- but more of a homebrew ROM for emulators). It's very likely that both FCEU and Schpune are doing things right... it's Elite that is doing things wrong.
Snake Rattle 'n Roll uses mapper 1 and works fine for me. Make sure your ROM has a good header. First 16 bytes should be: 4E 45 53 1A 02 04 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Thanks for the compliments and positive feedback ^^. I'm really happy with how the emu is turning out. |

| ...xD Oh yeah, I have the "classical Diskdude text" in my header, where it should be no bytes. (I know since I have hacked Snake rattle n roll alot, and documentated it) I heard about that problem, but I didn't bother about it since it worked perfectly on FCE ultra... oh well I change it.' Edit: Seems like Elite orginally was a PAL game who they probably tested on a real European NES, then modified it for NTSC emulators later... so maybe that's why it works perfectly on PAL mode.

| As if there aren't enough NES emulators out there. Seriously, nice job! I'm downloading it now and I'll give it a whirl later. Kitten Yiffer: Elite saw a release in Europe for the NES (obviously in PAL format), and that rom should be fine. It's the NTSC version that's pretty damn dodgy. |

I actually meant for it to sound almost like 'Spoon'.. only with the 'sh' sound in there, so I guess the 'proper' way to pronounce it would be "Shpoon".Originally posted by Colleen Yeah yeah I know XD. I'm well aware of all the arguments about developing emulators just for the sake of developing them as adding to the 'noise'. But I'm not making this emu to make another emu -- I'm making this emu because I like making it (something about the NES just fascinates me). And as long as I'm making it, I might as well let some other people use it if they want. |

| Well, its probably my computer but for some reason the sound runs choppy and the game runs about 90% speed, I think it is my computer though. Still, a lot better than I could do. | |||

| How fast is your computer? Schpune isn't exactly lightning fast like some of the other low-end emus out there. Though I did try to make it as quick as I could without sacrificing accuracy. | |||

My only rant is that you could've named it 'slickNES'  Good job. Btw, when can we expect SchpuneXD? A real shame www.schpune.com is already taken :p Btw, 2x video modes _very slow_ on my home machine (k6-ii 500 128 Mb, onboard sound, nvidia tnt232mb) |

Thanks ^^. Unless someone else comes on board with a desire to add a debugger and work with my bizarre and hard to follow code -- don't expect one. I'm not about to make a debugger -- especially not when there's already one as top notch as FCEUXD.
Yeah.... they're slower on mine too. normal displaying uses like 2% of my CPU... but with a simple stretch it jumps up to like 60%. I don't really see a solution -- software stretching is just slow -- and I'm not doing any hardware blitting for various reasons. |

| ...the Disch ran away with the Schpune XD... lol and I'm not doing any hardware blitting for various reasons. Why exactly? Do you want to keep it portable? Are you using DirectX? Really good job, i just owned MM3 again for the first time in years... The sound output is really that good. |

| Hmm. HMMM. HMMMM. I like it. Allthough it doesen't have alot of extras that FCEUXD has (which i rely on right now cuase im learning ASM), it still runs games smoother than FCEUXD does on my other older P2 computer! Me like! |
