SNES emulation is not all that great (yet), so you may be a bit dissapointed in that. BUT, I highly recommend Flubba's emulators. They are GBA emulators actually, but do not let that dissuade you. They are all fantastic!

sounds great, but how does it work in sc? thank for the info :wink:

There is a built in nes emulator on the SC. Just copy your nes roms to your SD card. I put mine in a folder called NES games.

If you want to save a game you need to convert a gba rom with supercard software and then take the 64k .sav file and rename it the exact name of your rom and you will be able to save it.

This post explains alot better, as I asked how to save in this post

emukidid's WIP version of NESDS is far superior to the built-in NES emulator. full DS screen, alpha-lerp display, and save/load state capability.

Check out SnezziDS. It's going much better than snesDS, and a lot of games actually run full speed with sound.

onekelly, i'll give it a try for sure, thanks. is it only for nes though? how about snes?. the save process seems kind of hassle. I just want to make sure so basically you provide the .sav file with the same name. and save state (L+R), is that it ?

thanks again for the tips guys, i really appreciate it

update ; my nes rom work just fine. have some difficulties though, i saved it to pocketnes using save state. then i tried to save it to the card as suggested using L R Select A, but nothing happen when i press those button. any sugestion? :?

Use nesDS for NES emulation. It is far superior to both pocketnes and the built-in emulator (which is really just an older pocketnes!). Because nesDS is a DS program you don't have to do L+R+A+Select to "lock in" the saves. The saves just work. Also it uses the entire DS screen and has a built-in rewind and fastforward feature.

edit: Oh yeah, and you don't have to manually make any savefiles or anything else. Trust me, nesDS is far far superior.

ok i tried to use tha nesds wip, rename the nesds.bin in tonesds.nds. run it in my sc lite, and all i got it tge gba opening logo then nothing happen. Is it just me or there is some problem ( again) when i run it on the sc lite *sigh. i'll guess i'll keep trying :oops:

Musulsa · August 24, 2006, 10:30:14 PM

There shouldn't be any sort of GBA opening logo. nesDS is a DS program. When I open nesDS.nds it both screen INSTANTLY turn black. The bottom screen shows a black screen with my folder listings in a blue font.

There is no GBA logo ever.

onekelly · August 24, 2006, 11:01:44 PM

I get two white screens with my sclite/sandisk ultra II when I run nesds.ds

d3v1n · August 24, 2006, 11:10:56 PM

Thats exactly what i got onekelly

. i think the gba appears because i did patch it with the makends that come with the program, my bad. now all i do is rename the file into .nds, but somehow the .bat is still showing in my sc menu. something like nesds.nds.bat. I tried to trick it by opening the file in notepad, and manage to totally rename the file. all i see is white screen in my sc. is it possible that it's not compatible with sc lite ?

BTW is there any other way to save the nes onekelly? I'm still wondering why my L R Select Start didnt do anything :roll:, other than that the saving issue, i'm totally happy since i'm able to play all the nes games. remind me of the good old childhood times :wink:

onekelly · August 24, 2006, 11:20:46 PM

Did you make a save file yet. I think the commands are L+R+SELECT+A to save. it seems to be hit and miss with some games to me.

Ok for nesds what files to you have to copy over to your root dir on the SD card?
