FCE Ultra v0.72

posted in Emulator Release by brazenheart on Dec 3rd, 2001

Xodnizel has released a new version of FCE Ultra, one of the best NES emulators, for Windows, DOS, and Linux. Here's what's new:
  • Various minor bug fixes.
  • Various code cleanups and size and speed optimizations.
  • Removed some (apparently) unused MMC5 sound emulation code.
  • Changed the behavior of $2003 and $4014 to better simulate what occurs in a real NES.
  • Fixed a few bugs in the undocumented 6502 opcode emulation code. The Game Genie code "NUTANT" for SMB 3 works correctly now.
  • Rewrote large pieces of the 6502 memory fetching code, resulting in a slight slowdown in the speed of emulation. Benefits include: Game Genie emulation now works(again) and 6502 emulation is more accurate.
  • Added support for iNES mapper 72. Thanks to rinao for the information.
  • Fixed support for iNES mapper 77(used by Napoleon Senki).
  • Fixed/Added support for iNES mapper 226. Apparently I made a mistake in the documentation. Thanks to Mark K. for the information.
  • Added support for iNES mapper 227. Thanks to Mark K. for the information.
  • Added support for iNES mapper 234(used by the Maxi-15). Thanks to Mark K. for the information.
  • Added support for the following UNIF boards(prefixes omitted): -- EKROM (and fixed the reference to "Gemfire" in the documentation). -- HKROM
  • Added the ability to enable and disable individual RAM cheats.
  • Fixed some problems with the cheat search code. Get the DOS and Windows versions at the NES Emulators page. Get the Linux version at the NES Emulators for Unix/Linux page. Thanks to Abalone for the news.
