Jnes 1.0.2 released
February 6th, 2010


In the last release display filters in full screen were not working and I've noticed a few users have been asking about it recently. I've uploaded a maintenance release that should fix this issue, as well as a few others that have accumulated over time.

This release also features a new installer using NSIS, which gives the project some nice polish. Also take a look at the translations included, we could use a few asian catalogs, if anyone wants to contribute a new language please leave a comment with a link to it.

 NSIS is cool.

In this case I liked the ZIP extraction more. There were fewer steps, and it didn't ask for Vista UAC permission.

Thanks for the update.

 Hi,

First of all, thanks for this great piece of software.
I tried other emulators, but JNES fits my needs better.

Unfortunately, 2 of my games don't work as expected, and have virtually the same problem.

F1 Race:

Race America (JNES):

o.jpg
Race America (Nester):
http://img253.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=77652_RaceAmericaNester_122
_114lo.jpg

As you can see, when cornering in the game, the road margin is not rounded well in JNES, but in Nester it is.

Nester homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nester-emu/

Specs:
JNES 1.0.2
Windows XP SP3

Can you upload it to either http://www.emutalk.net or a file sharing website like http://megaupload.com and post the link?

Yea just a maintenance release nothing shiny and new, altho I haven't heard super eagle in a while

NSIS is cool. In this case I liked the ZIP extraction more.

Glad you like it, the winzip sfx I was using looked terrible and wasn't free, I don't like the UAC either tho...

Unfortunately, 2 of my games don't work as expected, and have virtually the same problem.

I'll have to update the bug tracker and help area after I look at that a bit more, it's timing related.

 yeah, SaI doesn't look too good when stretched, you notice little star like patterns across the corners of textures.

Support for Kega Filter files would be a big + imo.

 Jabo, the previous translator translated several words wrongly, he didnt even care to look at dictionary to see what the words meant.

Btw, 1 suggestion, instead of drawing method it would be better if the word "Filters" was used.

 I just wish some mod to be made to the latest jnes. Well, I use 2 vers of it: 102 and 053. I liked it when I first heard that. I suppose u know what I'm talking here about. A simple routine dividing noise 1 & 2 to the left & right channels accordingly, that's why I left ver0.53 and oh, by the way I'm sure that elemental effect will create new experience for retroplayers like us.

nsis's not bad, sfx's better

 Hy! You did a great job with this emulator. I'm a little sad because The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles is not working very well.
In all the stages the image go up and down when you stay, climb the stair, fall etc.
I think the problem is the mapper.
Anyway, this is the only emulator to play The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. I've tested this on Nestopia, FCEux without any luck.
So, great job and maybe in the next release you will fix this game or mapper.

Thank you very much and good luck in your life.

 Hello! I wanted to say i liked the new version. But i ask you to provide support for the "Pin*Bot" game. This game have 2 regions and both don't work. I think they use one unknow mapper.

PS: Since you are back in jnes developement, any plans to go back in pj64?

 Would you guys be interested in assisting in the development of a plugin for XBMC ?

It's being discussed right here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=71180

I would love it - and afaik it shouldn't be too hard.
Write me at: aoos [AT] aoos.dk if you wanna hear more.

Secondly: How about a setting so when I go fullscreen (1920*1080) it won't stretch? I don't mind black bars on the sides, as long as the aspect ratio isn't disturbed.

 The file Folder.jpg under artwork is a WinXP folder. Since I just upgraded to Windows 7, the folders look different now.

To solve this, I extracted the Windows 7 folder icon from the DLL, and created my own Folder.jpg file. If you want a copy email me at bamm@astronomy.com.ph.

My suggestion is for the installer to have both files, detect the Windows version and install the proper Folder.jpg file accordingly.

 Perhaps http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UAC_plug-in can fix the UAC problem? Please keep in mind that I haven't looked at the current Jnes package and it's been a while since I played with NSIS.

On topic; glad to see that this project is still alive (I have been using it since around 2006 on a not so regular base but it was and still is my favorite emu for Windows) and thanks for putting your effort in fixing bugs.

 Great EMU, metal gear works great.
I do have a problem that you may be able to address.
I have a fan made port of FFVII, I have seen screenshots from it so I know it works on something.
My problem is that when I try to play it on Jnes I get the following message on the bottom bar.

Error: Mapper #163 unsupported

What does this mean?
and what can be done about it?

 Hi. Every time I try to config my joystick the program crash. I can auto config but the only thing that is enjoyable is the directions, the start button doesn´t work and B, A and rapid fires lays on wrong buttons. Otherwise the best nes emulator EVAH!

Shall I try a older version? I play in native res and don´t need any filter.

 I use Trio Linker Plus from Hkems, it´s an adapter for PSX/Ps2, GC and DC. I tried Hori digital controller for GC today and everything worked fine, before I used DC arcade stick, but something must have went wrong, cause in other emulators i could input the keys right but sometimes left and right input got stucked for example, Mario continue to run in right direction after I had released the joystick.

I have probably mixed something up, so I will check it up.

I will let you know if I have problem again. Thank you for the replay and for a fantastic emulator.

 I would like to see a video recorder like what fceux has, dont get me wrong jnes is a great emulator, but its sorta pointless to record videos on it if you can only watch it on that emulator, specially if it's video's of stuff you want to show off, being cheats, game play, etc.

I just believe if a newer version is ever made that this be consider, because I believe this emulator has much to offer,, and I know I'm not the only one here that believes so!

 There are a couple of issues that I had not only with the last version but the ones before it as well it with the save states sometimes I will press F5 to save the state and then sometimes when I go back to load it tells me there is no saved state is not there are was never there at all which is really frustrating when you trying to finish a game. I am running vistas now but it also happen in xp as well. Also I have notice that in the last version of jnes is that in vistas in full screen mode when I would go to save the state it messes with the sound really badly so badly in fact that I resorted to only playing it windowed mode.

Having the same problem with the joystick. I'm using a USB-based one (it's actually a PS2 dualshock run through a converter, which Windows sees as a generic 4-axis 16-button gamepad). After auto-configuring it works, although the buttons are mapped strangely (start to R2, for example). If I try to manually configure it, the key gets mapped to "Z + " and there's no countdown to change the mapping. Hitting "Setup" (under "Additional Devices:") crashes jNes entirely.

Newest version of jNes, Windows 7 x64.

There was a hack I put in PJ to workaround an issue with PS2 dualshock Z-Axis, and it wasn't put in Jnes correctly. I'd be curious to hear if PJ works for you - I don't think Jnes should crash, my expectation is that it would hang.

 I was wondering if it would be possible to program the inputs into a computer to play the game for me given a certain situation? For example, if x happens on screen, do y. I'd imagine it would be really hard if it's even doable, as it would be game specific, but it'd be more interesting to program a computer to play the game through for me. That way, I can just fine tune it and let it do autorun if I ever want to "play" through it again. (This goes with other games too, SNES, PS...)

ie: for SMB (simplified)
if(block == above){
jump();
if(contents){
grab_contents();
}
}

or for Final Fantasy (again, simplified)
if(cha == fighter){
fight();
} elseif (cha == blackbelt){
fight();
} elseif (cha == whitemage){
cure(findlowHP());
} elseif (cha == blackmage){
nuke();
}

I apologize if this is not the right place to ask. I don't know where else I can ask this question.
