My Story-
The other day, I completed Final Fantasy, as I've made myself the challenge of completing all Final Fantasy in a row. The end credits are rolling past, I'm feeling quite good about myself... until the game crashes OMGWTFMOFO!!

What to do Next?
After claiming down, I think... I can always complete it again just with a different version of the ROM. But remembering how painfully the slow the game is, I need to skip some frames... I'm thinking maybe +1000 fps :p But I cant see to find a NES emulator that does that...

Question?
Is there actually an emulator that does allow frame skipping, or do they all have that feature, and I'm just dumb :glare:

Thanks for your help :)

Added to nesticle in 98 :)


NESticle Version 0.43 for DOS (01-01-98)
- Manual frameskip (-frameskip)

also:

FrNES

What's New in Version 0.60 Final - December 24th, 2001

Frameskip fixed (works the way it's expected to now)



I'm sure there are others. I think jnes does it too.

Been messing about with a few things today since you said that.

I'm on windows, so I'm having a bit of trouble getting a DOS version to work :rolleyes: - Also FrNES requires a Dreamcast :confused:

But it seems VirualNES has a nice frame skip! Get In!

Thanks for your help!
