Introducing the EmuMaster project:
The aim of EmuMaster project is to emulate popular consoles like NES, SNES, GB, C64 and more. I know that there is a lot of emulators out there. But what I saw is they are not so easy to use or lack some cool features. So I decided to bring my ideas to the world of emulation. I have started with NES but there will be more. The most important thing now is to let you know how I see an emulator should look like. I hope you will like it (if yes please donate). Sorry for my poor english.
Download:
emumaster_0.0.1.deb
Install, run and follow instructions
Features
- written entirely in Qt and QML (even cpu,ppu, etc. is written in Qt)
- modular architecture to minimize memory use (e.g. mappers are in seperate plugins) and speed up loading
- ROM gallery
- fast scroll
- you are able to create an icon in the homescreen, and with auto save/load you will not even notice you are using an emulator
- swipe is disabled by default – configurable
- support for game genie codes
- quite fast NES emulation – full framerate without sound (60 FPS) – will be optimized
- save/load gallery
- you can push two buttons on the pad with one finger at the time (e.g. A and B)
Todo
- I don’t know how to make icons in the homescreen removable – please help
- settings are not saved yet
- game policy
- currently when you click play new windows and machine is created, it takes time (especially when you click pause first time). In order to minimize this time I will reimplement this mechanism so only disk will be reloaded (it should be done this way from beginning)
- accelerometer as a controller
- mappers 72-255
- on-screen paddle controller (e.g. arkanoid)
- on-screen zapper controller (e.g. duck hunts)
- use accelerometer at the save’s view and rom gallery
- more consoles: GB, SNES, C64, Amiga, …
- net play
- want more ? want somthing sooner than other ? add a comment and please donate
Issues
- I know some games don’t work, if you find some and you want them to work let me know, I am checking constantly what work, what not but if you let me know I can prioritize it
- sometimes application can crash on pause – will be fixed
- found bug ? please tell me about it
