[Working] infoNES. NES emulator for rockbox

(1/2) > >>

Kneesnap:
So I was browsing github earlier today, I noticed someone had a fork of rockbox on their github. I checked it out and noticed an app called infoNES. I thought, "That's strange, I thought rockbox didn't have an nes emulator." I downloaded the entire repository, but it refused to compile. Eventually I decided to grab the latest rockbox version and add infoNES to the latest version myself. I compiled it and to my surprise, a working NES emulator was the result.

Note to whoever wants to compile it themselves: I couldn't get the .rock to play on the version I got off of the official installer (Which confuses me because I compiled the latest version's source code). After copying the entire new .rockbox folder, it worked.

Here's some proof of it working:



Here's a link to the github page that has infoNES:
https://github.com/theunamedguy/rockbox

The devs at rockbox should implement this into the main installer, so everyone can get this without compiling it themselves.
For anyone who wants instructions on how to get/do this, shoot me a PM or wait until someone adds this to rockbox.

I tested this on a new Sansa Clip Zip, and I can try it on an iPod 5g if necessary.

EDIT: I realise now he has a profile here.

Oops, I guess I didn't look hard enough  ;D. Just wondering, why isn't it in the rockbox installer?

saratoga:
Looking at that link, it looks like people are still working on getting it working on various devices.

Nice to see that my obscure personal Rockbox tree is getting some attention...  ;D

Also, note that the repository is nearly two years out-of-date and contains much more than just InfoNES.
