WIP news about the NES emulator (http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/) for PC.


NEStopia 1.40 status report A few screenshots to show some new features. NEStopia's always had great video filters, what happens when I raid ZiNc for audio filters?

And what's that "Extras" tab? 1.37 didn't have that?

A word about "preferred system": if a ROM matches more than one region, it hints to NEStopia how to play it. And just like in Windows, the Russian Dendy Famiclone is now supported including it's unique quirks.

Also, automatic soft-patching is now available. Put a .ips or .ups patch in the same directory as the ROM and NEStopia on Linux will pick it up and apply it automatically. If you have multiple games in an archive, put the patch outside the archive and name it after the game rather than the archive itself, then it works.

Here's proof: I've loaded up Akumajou Special - Boku Dracula-kun (basically "Castlevania Special: I'm Kid Dracula!") and put Kitsune Sniper's translation .ips patch in the same directory. Here's what happens with no further action on my part:

Nice, huh? A few more things to come and then you can play with this too.
