Gpfce 0.4

[Shadowsithe]

Wow, thanks Notaz. I made my own background if anyone's interested. It's a little more minimalist, because I swing that way.

I've come across a few small bugs during my testing (but only one is game breaking). The first is with "Akumajou Densetsu (J)".
[...]
A similar thing happens with the American version ["Castlevania 3 - Dracula's Curse (U)"];


Thanks for the report, I have found the bug (actually there are two of them), hopefully will fix them tomorrow after work.

The graphics for "Godzilla - Monster of Monsters! (E)" are also corrupted during the stages; they flash between looking normal and being a bunch of coloured letters and symbols.

Looks like some sort of timing problem, the (U) version doesn't have this issue, so I probably won't try to fix that.

After testing it a lot of hours i love it Thank you very much NOTAZ.

I only have a question:

The 3 scale modes are the same that in Picodrive.Like in Picodrive i noticed a slightly aspect ratio deformation.Is not much but the games using scale are more like a Rugby ball instead of a soccer ball.Is it posible to correct that?

Thank you for the answer.

Played Super Mario Bros... Man that game is always good, everytime I play it!
And gpFce plays it so smoothly

I noticed a wee problem with Punchout. The graphics seemed a bit corrupted. Perhaps it's related to the problem you just fixed?

[DaveC]

Thanks for the great work again

Thanks for the release! It´s look very good.

One question? It seems that Mario starts in a extrange world 0-1 instead 1-1... Is it ok or is it a issue?

Something is strange about the ROM... It happened in NesDS too.
Get another Mario ROM.


A lot of thanks! Yes, I try with other rom , compilation rom Super Mario Bros + Duke Hunt, and it works fine, it starts in 1-1 world.

Haven't noticed that. Is it stretched horizontally or vertically? If horizontally, you can try increasing first visible line number and decreasing last (in FCE Ultra options), then using horizontal+vertical scaling.

I've been heavily playing NES games now for over a week and a half. I've been using PocketNES on my Gameboy micro. The scaling is better on it than on the SP. I have been playing so much that I have not been on this site, that much, to see what is going on. :huh:

I go on the site today and “WOW.” An update of Gpfce!! I noticed that I have still been using version .2 on my GP2X. This is sweet, wonderful, and a host of many other things. Great excellent work!

I will have to say that switching from the micro to the GP2X screen was sensory overload on the eyes. :blink:

Now excuse me while I get back to “Crisis Force” and “Recca.”

<_< Now I am going to have to order that TV out cable that I have been putting off! :unsure:

Great update Notaz

How many USB gamepad are supported? (same question for picodrive)

 

[notaz]

How many USB gamepad are supported? (same question for picodrive)

Emm.. All 4? But there are only 2 players to control. Although you can bind some button of joy3 to save state and joy4 to load, for example.
So all 4 joys should be configurable, there is code for that, but I only have one, so don't know if more would actually work.

 

[wrdaniel]

thanks

Are there any games for Nes that support more than 2 players? I can't remember hearing of any.

Well they made the "Four Score" and "Satellite" 4 player adapters, so you'd hope so

Some that spring to mind:

Gauntlet 1/2
Super Spike Volleyball
Play Action Football
Super Off-Road
RC Pro-Am 2

It happens with the 3 scaling modes, here and in Picodrive.

You only have to compare circles and rectangles and look to the framecounter.

It´s a slightly deformation.

I will try to increase first visible line etc,...

 

[Yod4z]

is there an option to disable frame limiter?

 

[sam fisher]

That would be neat, super fast mario

@fishybawb: Never heard of it before, thanks

FCE Ultra supports a number of weird input devices, but I only bothered with gamepad support, doubt anyone would need the exotic ones.

Yes, but only through command line (-nothrottle 1). Used it a lot for benchmarking the code.
