Well, with the non-working ROMs, that could be either or. The ROMs may be older dumps. I'm not 100% positive, but I think there's certain headers (or something like that) in the ROMs themselves that sometimes don't click with the newer emulators. Even between the newer emus such as FCE Ultra and NNnesterj, there are ROMs that work on one, and not the other. Weird.

Some emulators use different mappers too. I really have no clue how all of this works, but I think the two things I listed have something to do with all this.

As for what emu I use... FCE Ultra, NNnesterj, JNES, and VirtuaNES. I believe I got them all from http://www.emulator-zone.com/ . I use each one for certain purposes, but since I've tested them all out, I'd have to say FCE Ultra is the best one. I used to like NNnesterj more, but there was something it couldn't do that FCE Ultra could. I really can't remember what it was, but there was something. :?

I am using FCE Ultra, worked fine so far. Once a ROM did not run, but when I downloaded from another site, it worked well.

I use Nestopia (sometimes FreezeSMS) and didn't have great problems with it.

I use FCE Ultra. I have no idea now where I got it from. :?

It works great I find. There have been a few roms that I couldn't get to work but never for games I really wanted to play.

I used to eat sleep and breathe FCEUltra, but the AVI recording feature of nnnNesterJ has me hooked. I've noticed very few incompatibilities with the emu.

I love FCEUltra... but it appears that its dead now :( (anyone know this for sure?)

I think I'll try NNNesterJ

Has the emulator really not been updated since 2002? (Zophar says so)

I don't know which version you are using, but recently 0.96 has been released and it has been made open sourece. The former author mentioned that this is the last release of FCE Ultra form him/them. But, because they have provided the source code, others may take on the job of updating it.

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm not a totally uncreative bastard. I used the AVI record to capture frames, but I had animate and lay out everything by hand in ImageReady. My avatar took about 2.5 hours. My sig, combined, took about 3 hours.

I mainly use FCE Ultra. But the save spots are no good, so for games like Just Breed (Thank you for the help ZHX) I use Nessie. Works like a charm, except I like the Game Genie Mode in FCE Ultra better.

I began with Jnes too, but I changed it to Fceultra. Why I changed it? Well, in the Fceultra emulator I can use the mouse as a zapper. That can come in handy if I'd like to play games such as Duck Hunt (DH). 8)

Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

Actually you can use the mouse as a zapper on JNES, as well. All you have to do is click on the Options menu, then click on Input... Next, select the player 2 tab and click the radio button that says Zapper. Voila! You're ready to go hunting with that d*mn annoying dog! :lol:

I use NESten. No particular reason. It seems to work well. It was recommended from the site I originally downloaded the "Nintendo World Championship 1990" ROM from and I've been using it ever since.

I first used NESticle, the great emulator. ran great, but after a while, the color pallete changed instantly, which causes me to restart the program. this hampers my chance to get into any game I play on it. & also the sound emulation isn't really 100%(that's how it is), but other than that, it's the best emulator I ever used, thanks to the fact that it doesn't use any CPU power. All of my roms work on it, but a few run glitchy.

Another emulator I use is FCE Ultra, another great emulator. this blew NESticle away, as far as sound emulation, fullscreen support, & everything else; Except, it uses a lot of CPU, & the interface can be frustrating sometimes(some people may know what I'm talking about). Otherwise, it's great, & all of my roms run great on it.

I got them from:

NESticle-bloodlust software(bloodlust.zophar.net
FCE Ultra-NEShq.com
