Re: Would an NES emulator be possible on Nspire?

Would there be any chance of the American Video Entertainment's (79) mapper to be supported in a future release. Support for their hearty Solitaire/Blackjack engine would be great, as well as various minor games such as Impossible Mission-II, Dudes with Attitude, etc...

The current release is amazing, If I may add. Keep up the good work, Goplat.

Just added support for Ndless file associations. Also added a workaround for the Sonic the Hedgehog $2002 issue (turns out some other games have the problem too).

I'd need to make it possible for mappers to hook reads/writes to 4000-7FFF addresses, right now the mapper is only called when writing to 8000-FFFF.

ERROR: unimplemented mapper
Guess I had better explain this. The NES hardware only provided 32kB of memory space for program ROM and 8kB for character ROM. This wasn't enough for most games, so to overcome these limits they would add hardware in the cartridge, called a "mapper", that the game could use to map different parts of ROM (and sometimes RAM) into memory. Some mappers would have other functions as well.

There are over 100 different kinds of mappers that have been used, and some are very complicated, so being able to emulate every one of them is a tall order. I've implemented only a few of the most common ones.
please implement the one in super mario bros 2 the lost levels (I love this game and want to play it on my nspire)

It's different from the Original SMB? ??? I kind of figured they were the exact same game, except that Lost levels had different level data (and a new effect or two (IE wind).

Yea, I know. I just figured the engine would be nearly identical.

The Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka "Lost Levels") was for the Famicom Disk System add-on, which was a lot more than just a mapper.

I tried to get Earthbound 1 on my TI - nSpire CAS w/ Touchpad. It has ndless 3.1 and NESulator (The NES emulator). But it says "Error: not an NES file". Please someone help? Step-by-step instructions would help a bunch!

Hi and welcome to the forums. Right now this emulator only supports NES games, not SNES. You could try Mother 1/Earthbound 0 though.

I know it's necroposting and everything, but at least save states in NESpire will be nice to have.
iirc, save state is just the copy of the instant memory, right?

That's true. Since Super Mario 3 doesn't save (idk how a least) I always hav to start over.

You just lost the game.

Double post since it's been a long time :P

For Dragon Warrior III, I used the 'S' to save.  When I looked up the game, it is supposedly a battery-backed save game (unless I saw wrong).
How come the save can't be accessed or the game doesn't read it?
