Vortendo v1.0.6

posted in Emulator Release by swampgas on Jun 11th, 2001

This one slipped by in the multitudes of submissions we have in queue...Vortendo, an NES emulator written in Visual Basic, has received an update....with a twist. From the homepage:
" Well, its been a while now, and until i restore everything on my computer the progress on Vortendo will be slow, since it's kinda of hard to code with your computer crashing every 10 minutes. Well, this version feature something i wish to do with this project in quite a while now, i changed the distribution license, Vortendo now is a NesCartware application, what it means, it means that registered users will have access to things that normal users will not, like between releases beta-versions and source code distribution (under request by registered users.). All other information about how this work, and where to send your Nes Cartrigde, is available on the readme file."
Here's the changes:
  • Vortendo isn't freeware anymore, read more on the readme file.
  • Fixed opcode error while playing Excite Bike
  • Improved support for Mapper #3
  • Fixed two cpu core bugs, which was unabling 1942 to go over stage 3.
  • Little speed up on the Double Buffered Video Mode, using a little hack i've learned from ZSNES Source code.
  • Huge code clean-up, lot of unused crap removed.
  • A lot of cosmetic changes.
  • Added Free ROM menu, has requested.
  • Probably some other little thing i forgotten. Grab it from the NES emulators.
