FWIW, I'm going off of a few statements by Pete on NGemu's board. He mentioned that 2D games use triangles instead of traditional hardware accelerated sprites, or something similiar. However, it's been years since I read this info, so my memory is a little hazy. I believe I.S.T. is correct. After a...

I'd recommend reinstalling the latest version of DirectX and UNINSTALLING your video card drivers, then reinstall the latest nvidia drivers. I think I experienced something like this awhile back and it was related to directX/video card drivers which was only resolved after uninstalling the drivers c...

SATA support was added in XP SP2. so you need a install cd with SP2 on it. 98/dos sees them because modern bios provide access to them via standard bios calls, which modern OS's do not use as they access the controller directly. so, if you do not have a xp install CD with Sp2 on it, google nlite an...

For your optical media, I specifically recommend NOT getting SATA. First of all, for your reading and burning, they don't even offer SATA speeds, and if the the burner is the only IDE drive, it doesn't matter. Also leaves room for plenty of HDs later, and not forcing you to paint yourself into sett...

I've discussed this with a few people before. Some people indeed won't work on it as long as it needs graphics packs. I believe I could do a translation of this game working around the graphics packs though, so it would work on the ROM after/when/if the SPC7110 has been cracked so there would be no ...

1. It is a 32 bit microprocessor sitting on a 16-bit-wide *DATA* bus. Ah, that's what I was thinking might be the case. I'm curious how they made this happen. Were the 32-bit instructions simply broken down into two 16-bit operations? I imagine that would be a major pain in the ass for multiplicati...

Interest in emulation has died down from back 6 years ago. Perhaps it is just as well. Interest in SNES emulation has died down. Interest in emulation is still going strong if you ask me.

That's because hex editors are not system specific. A hex editor works with any system. Windhex is probably the only hex editor geared somewhat toward the SNES specifically, but it can still be used for other systems.

This is not a ZSNES bug. There is auto-filtering done in the older versions of Windows (9x, 2K, XP), but not in Vista.

The GBA is FAR more powerful and easier to develop for. Yes, but unfortunately you can't do anything worthwhile with it as the end result is a game with lower resolution, and crappy sound as opposed to the less powerful SNES. Ports of the SNES games are proof enough. They can't compare to the SNES ...

Yes, it's low powered but it seems to get the job done at that resolution. And HOW many SNES carts used coprocessors? The system was chronically dependent on outside help. A negligible percentage of the total software released for the SNES used co processors actually. It's probably less than 2% wit...
