  • FCEU v1.2 NES Emulator Released

This version features general bug fixes. A 3.41 and 1.92 compiled pkg is included in the download below. Change log after the jump.

    Current save state slot – Toggle FCEU save state slot.
    Resolution – Switch between resolutions – 480p mode, 720p mode and 1080p mode (depending on your monitor’s supported resolutions)
    Aspect Ratio – Switch between aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:10 (16:9 will come shortly, for now choose 16:10 on widescreen – perhaps small
    cutoff at left and right))
    Hardware Filtering – Switch between Linear interpolation (Bilinear filtering) and Point filtering.
    Control Style – Switch between original NES style or the more preferred SNES style.

    CONTROLS IN-GAME:
    Standard NES Controls (layout identical to NES controller)
    Better NES Controls (rotates input changing Square->B, Cross->A)

    R3 + L3 – Press these two buttons together while in-game to go back to the ROM browser menu.

    Right analog left / right – Adjust save state on the fly.

    R3 + L3 – Press these two buttons together while in-game to go back to the ROM browser menu.

    TIP: You can use any USB controller you like and it will map the buttons on the fly – it is even possible to hotswap joysticks – remove one from the
    USB port, replace it with another one – it should all work fine. even SNES-to-USB converters
    should work.

    To play a game with a USB controller as Player 1, start up your PS3 and rather than using the Sixaxis/DualShock3, plug in an USB port before
    connecting the controller to the PS3 – your USB pad should then become Controller 1.

    HD TV USERS:
    - For people running this on HDTVs complaining about input lag:
    - Turn off all post-processing filters you may have running – on Sony Bravia HDTVs, display Motion Flow (this also causes input lags
    with most games in general, not just this SNES emu. If your HDTV has a ‘Game’ mode or something of the sort, select that as well.

    PERFORMANCE NOTES:
    - 100% everywhere, let me know otherwise.

    PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS:
    - Filters
    - GameGenie

    summary: Can now read and save from config file – fceu.conf. This will be part of our general framework now – currently saves the settings ‘PS3Smooth’ and ‘PS3KeepAspect’ – next step would be to save the controller type too and the savepaths (SRAM, ROM dir, etc)

    And more (see change log in file).
