NesterDS v0.3 – NES emulator
The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES, aka Famicom) has a wide range of near perfect DOS and Windows emulators out there. Over a year ago Rich Whitehouse released his homebrew Nintendo emulator NesterDS, which allows you to play the actual Nintendo games on your DS.
After more than a year of inactivity, Rich has finally updated his emulator to version 0.3. NesterDS v0.3 includes the following changes:
- Fixed several mapper bugs for improved compatibility
- Removed alternate-line rendering.
- Lots of speed-ups (better DTCM management, changed screen writes to occur during actual scanline routines, lots of other stuff).
- Converted code-base to pure C, moved to devkitARM r19b.
Rich says there were other changes in NesterDS v0.3 but he’s forgotten about them. Anyway, he is still working on his project and high on his to-do list is converting expensive PPU routines to ARM.
To install NesterDS v0.3, you can use the ROM insertion tool included in the download package and put in the NES ROM of your choice. Currently only one ROM at a time is supported.
