iNES-Maemo 3.6 Now Officially Released
 

Hello All!

I have just released iNES-Maemo 3.6, a Maemo port of my NES/Famicom emulator. This version has been specifically optimized for internet tablets using ARM assembler modules from iNES-Symbian. It supports joypad and zapper simulation with touch screen, automatic opening of *.nes and *.fds files, scanline simulation, and more.

You can download iNES-Maemo for free from

http://fms.komkon.org/iNES/

The package should also appear in the Extras repository shortly.

Thanks! Is there a way to turn off the sound (no setting volume to 0, but stop the emulator from rendering it) ? Because i tried Super Mario and it's a little bit to slow so i think without sound it might run fine...

Re: iNES-Maemo 3.6 Now Officially Released
 

At the moment, there is no way to stop sound from rendering. I do not think turning it off will affect the gameplay though: sound rendering consumes much less time than the rest of the code. I suggest you look at what else you are running on your tablet or maybe for something throttling CPU speed down.

Hmm I don't think i'm running anything else. But fceu (with sound off) is definitely faster on my tablet..

Re: iNES-Maemo 3.6 Now Officially Released
 

I just checked and found that Super Mario Brothers runs at exactly the correct speed in iNES. You can check it too by measuring time it takes SMB to count 20-40 time units: it should take exactly twice as few seconds (i.e. 20 SMB time ticks should take 10 seconds).

Ok so there is definetly something wrong: 20 SMB timeticks take 17 seconds here.. I did run ps & top but couldn't find anything unusual (and i have no other apps running at the same time..)

Weird. The system may be lowering your CPU clock for some reason. Well, reboot and see if it changes :)

Re: iNES-Maemo 3.6 Now Officially Released
 

Thanks for the port! What are the buttons for the n800? I don't get how the tablet knows I'm pressing press A or B.

Enable visual cues from the system menu (the one that shows up when you touch the left upper window corner).

Hmm reboot doesn't change anything. Is there a way to check the cpu's current clock rate ?
