The competition web emulator

[Mugi]

I talked a bit with Joe about this and he told me to either contact Josh or write up on the forum, and since I have no idea how to contact Josh, I'll just write this up here in the off-chance that maybe he sees it or
someone manages to point him to the direction of this thread. (im aware of what happened so im not really stressing this too much.)

so, thenew8bitheroes website now has a web emulator to play the compo roms ...... which doesn't support our entry, dimension Shift (the emulator doesn't support mapper 30 bankswitching)
which honestly, i feel is a tad unfair lol.

the emulator used on the page is called pinky, written by Koute


that said, we like solutions, not problems. My partner in crime, FIX94 poked at the emu for some minutes,
and to get it to support mapper 30 bankswitching, all one has to do is following:

https://github.com/koute/pinky/blob/master/nes/src/generic_mapper.rs#L228

go to this line, and change it into: self.extend_empty( 32 * 1024 );

and recompile the emu. Now it supports mapper30 bankswitching.

I hear you... The main feature of my game is not supported by the web emulator :S
Saldy, no solution for me. People will have to download it to play in good conditions.

yeah. Here's hoping that people actually play the roms on more capable emulators (or even hardware!)
I dont like the idea that people test my entry on the web emu and thing it's crap because that's what it looks like without the animations. :/

 

[dale_coop]

Same here... I hope guys will play it on real hardware on at least on a perfect remulation device with real controllers!

Not to mention the sound in the emulator is really off, especially with the Noise channel. That kind of irritates me in particular.

I'm very annoyed with the emulator's crackling sounds and input lag. It also seems like it uses non-integer scaling as the pixels are not evenly sized.
The casual player would be turned off immediately with emulation this poor. Hope it gets fixed soon.
