X and Z appear to be backwards, making
Lode Runner harder than it's supposed to be. Remap should fix this.
Let me go through my homebrew folder:
When I tried
beta version of Double Action 53, I got this:
Code:
uncaught exception: mapper id 28 is not supported
Here's a
definition of the mapper.
When I tried a
graphics editor, I couldn't find a way to extract the battery RAM.
When I tried a music ROM, I noticed the sound was breaking up because it wasn't running anywhere near full speed, though I sort of didn't expect it to on an Atom N450. So I tried to run an NSF instead so that the PPU didn't need to be emulated, but it gave "unsupported file extension".
When I tried
RHDE and
my robotfindskitten clone, I couldn't figure out how to control player 2.
There appears to be no way to capture the mouse for my
sound effects editor,
Thwaite,
Sliding Blaster, and other NES programs that use the Super NES Mouse, or for Zapper games like
Zap Ruder, or for Arkanoid paddle demos like
Vaus Test.
Which features covered by the above tests do you plan to implement soon?
EDIT: A second round of tests produced more results.
When trying
BNTest, I discovered two problems:
- If I drop a zipfile that contains more than one .nes file, it'll choose the "first" one without giving the user a chance to pick one.
- Oversize BNROM (mapper 34, no CHR ROM) doesn't work. The ROM is truncated to 128 KiB.
Attempt to use .7z files gives ReferenceError: LZMA is not defined
DPCM Letterbox gives a blank dark green screen.
In
Boing 2007, the ball does not squash.
Mapper 180 gives unknown. It's similar to UNROM but using a quad AND instead of a quad OR. I can't give you the ROM because of copyright issues, but
Midwest Gaming Classic 2011 and
Crazy Climber use this.
Pretendo gives one message "Nintendon't" when loading the ROM and then another ("No entiendo") after every soft reset. An NES gives different messages depending on analog effects.
Sprite Cans 2011 doesn't drop sprites when more than 8 are on a line.
But
rgb121 and the (not fully released) 2011 version of Who's Cuter work well. You're off to a good start.
