Hello, All!

I've updated iNES-Android to version 5.1.2 today:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.ines

This release fixes rare native code crashes when saving game states or applying .IPS patch files. I also fixed placing shortcuts to the home screen, which was broken on newer Androids. The "Add to Home Screen" option in the File Selector popup menu should work once again. See below for the complete list of changes.

ALL CHANGES:
* Fixed native crash when saving state.
* Fixed several other possible sources of native crashes.
* Fixed desktop icon placement.
* Fixed crash when passing "file://" URI via desktop icon.
* Fixed possible native crash when applying .IPS patches.

Have fun!

Hello, All!

I have just released iNES 5.2.1 for Android, a new version of my Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Famicom emulator:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.ines

For this release, I've rebuilt the app with the stricter compiler warnings and fixed issues reported by the compiler. Several ROM mappers, including MMC5 and multicart mappers, have been fixed. I have also fixed applying trainers embedded in .NES files. State files have grown a bit, but the new app will still accept older, shorter states. Finally, ShieldTV users will find that the first player always gets stock gamepad now. Both players can open in-game menus and quit the app. See below for all the changes.

ALL CHANGES:
* Recompiled sources with "-Wall" and fixed warnings.
* Fixed applying trainer code embedded in .NES files.
* Fixed mapper #5 (MMC5 used in Castlevania 3, etc).
* Fixed mapper #37 (Super Mario Bros. + Tetris + Nintendo World Cup).
* Fixed mapper #47 (Super Spike V'Ball + Nintendo World Cup).
* Fixed saved state size on 64bit systems.
* Made sure first player always gets stock gamepad on Nvidia ShieldTV.
* Either player can open menu or exit emulation now.
* State file size may have grown a bit, still compatible with older files.
* Deprecated -DNEW_STATES option.

Have fun!

This release fixes a crash in the Joystick Layout Editor and enables physical buttons on the Archos Gamepad.

Re: iNES Release News

Hello, All!

The VGBAnext 6.0 console emulator app is now online:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.emu

Since Google Play has banned my iNES emulator for an invented reason, and I have not been able to find a human being there who would listen and see the situation for what it is, the iNES functionality has now been folded into VGBAnext. Thus, in addition to GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Classic, and Super GameBoy, the new VGBAnext will also emulate NES, Famicom, DiskSystem, and VS System consoles. That is a total of 8 different consoles in the same app.

Enjoy!

Re: iNES Release News

Hello, All!

Since Google has banned my iNES emulator from Google Play, I have made the free iNES version available here:

http://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/iNES-Android.apk

Download it, play it on your devices, spread it wide, let the other people know they can get it here. To get full access to all iNES functions, latest updates, and support, please, consider downloading VGBAnext:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.emu

It is available from Google Play and includes the complete iNES functionality, as well as VGBA and VGB.

Enjoy!
