Emulation

[nintendodork]

I found a few threads for emulation, but they were all about a certain emulator or certain OS...
Well now, here's one thread for it all.


Now I had a question about Nestopia...
I'm not sure if I forgot or something happened...but how do I configure my controls?  Whenever I open Nestopia, it's just the emulation screen..I could have sworn there used to be options up at the top..

Any help?

Just buy the games d@##!t 



When I was 13, we didn't have emulation, so clearly you are suffering from a problem with premature emulation 

[nintendodork]

Well...sorry but..I don't wanna pay thousands of dollars for games that I can play for free...

Even though I already own them of course..because otherwise it would be illegal *looks back and forth*

I must have forgot how to do this over the weekend.

Hey dork just go to options and the click on input that's where you can change the controls. I usually only use emulators to make videos for youtube since I don't have a camera....it sucks but the videos come with the games looking better than on my tv. I do agree that emulation doesn't and will never give you the experience as playing the real thing but on the go it's a lifesaver!

Screw Nestopia, get VirtuaNES.

FCE Ultra is by far the best NES emulator.

I use FCEU-X or Mednafen (both for their debugging features and Linux-friendliness).  For accurate emulation, Nintendulator is the way to go.

Screw Nestopia, get VirtuaNES.

You obviously don't play pirate ROMs..

Hey dork just go to options and the click on input that's where you can change the controls.

You don't understand...when I open Nestopia, there aren't any options...




If anyone has any other emulators to recommend, here's what I'm looking for.

• Can play pirate ROMs correctly


• User-friendly--lots of shortcuts


• Able to work properly with a NES controller


• Plays FDS games

,.. Is it because you aren't running windows?
It looks like Mac type stuff, and I dont remember ever seing option tabs in a Macstyle window.

[nintendodork]

Nope, I'm using windows.  And there used to be tabs in the screen.

[FamicomFreak]

ah crap did you used popibros link to that switch your pc to mac thing? Well try pressing alt and then the down arrow and see if a menu pops out.

[nintendodork]

Erm, no...
I got it from the Vista OS X '09 OFFICIAL website...

And no, it still doesn't work

EDIT: Removed all Nestopia stuff from my computer, reinstalled it, now the tabs are back...I don't know what happened exactly, but everything's fine now.

Thanks to me

Oh, and I just looked it up.

Had you tried pressing Esc a few times?  That seems to toggle it for me.  The other option is to open the nestopia.xml file and look for

Code Select Expand

<window-menu>no</window-menu>

and replace it with

Code Select Expand

<window-menu>yes</window-menu>

[nintendodork]

-_-

*Ahem* well...uhm..yeah..escape toggles it...

The more you know I guess *wah wah wah waaaaaah*
