I just donated $10 I hope this becomes a big thing and I hope the emulators will run better in the future but so far this is really awesome!! And I was also wondering if you can make an n64, ps1, and sega saturn one for this or do you not work on those??
I seem to be having trouble. Sometimes after loading a file from OneDrive, the controller is not picked up on the emulator and i have to close Edge a few times to get it to read again. Also, sometimes after using browsing controls, i can't go back to game controls. i think thats why the emulator doesn't recognize my controller, it gets stuck in browsing mode
This is so awesome! Thanks so much for putting it together! Ever since I bought my console I've been looking for a way to play my good old 16bit games on it and now I can thanks to you! I read all the comments so I will not bother you with bugs that have already been reported, so here's my experience thus far
- All Genesis/Mega Drive games have a fps problem which could be due my poor internet connection:
SONIC 1 MEGAMIX.GEN
Sonic and Knuckles & Sonic 3.bin
Sonic The Hedgehog.bin
sonic_the_hedgehog_lost_worlds.bin
- SNES games seems to run pretty smoothly, although had some fps slowdowns with Donkey Kong Country, but nothing major as it was with Genesis games. Tried Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV too and it runs almost as perfectly as it would in the original hardware, that one blew my mind really, just some very little audio bugs on a otherwise perfect experience:
Donkey Kong Country (U) (V1.2) [!].and
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV - Turtles in Time (USA).smc
Once again thank you so much for making this possible, I'll make a donation as soon as I can because you really deserve it! Greetings from Brazil!
Awesome work! Looking forward to progression being made in the future! I've just had a quick go on a couple of Mega Drives games. (Sega did what nintendon't!) so here are my feedback based on my experience with these favourite games of mine.
Road Rash 2:
Game runs fine, occasional slowdown but only last a second or so
Audio sounds very slowed down and stutters when there is a lot happening on screen
Streets of Rage/Bare Knuckles:
Game runs fine, Notice slow down on visuals such as neon signs on buildings in backgrounds
Same audio issues with Road Rash 2
I'm guessing the audio issues could be down to the emulator.
I'd also love to see controller mapping, save states and multiplayer support added in the future. So far, LOVE what I'm seeing and do hope you carry on with development! I'm gonna send £10 your way. It's all I can afford for a time being but I'd love to see this project carry on!
P.S. Get Sega Mega CD support added, I want to play some Snatcher!
hay cool emu on xbox one buy have som problem in controller remapping you must put like original snns=xbox A=B; X=Y; B=A and Y=X the bottons are inverted soy makes some dificultos game that you can remap de buttons in game
I got the W10 version of nesbox, figured I would try another emulator to see how cool it is, and I have a few questions. Where are the roms located, the Public Domain ones ? I found C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\50446Nesbox.16735B73F29AD_8y3dwps6jawp4 but the PD roms are not there. Also I loaded a rom I own and it stays on that starting screen as well. Is it just a link to the original location of the rom, or does it make another copy where I can't see (along with the PD roms I mentioned above) ?
I noticed that the emulator also makes a second (redundant) copy of the roms you load inside one of the folders I mentioned above, along with the save state (if you make one) and original SRAM save of the game, not using the original location of the ROM. No need to duplicate it, this is something that should be fixed, adding paths to roms you already have located somewhere else instead.
can't seem to get any roms to show once I add them from onedrive, goes back to screen saying to add roms. All roms are unzipped with correct filetypes. Havnt got any to show yet on xboxone.
I'm on Xbox preview program if that makes any difference. Same roms show on laptop when visiting this site so not sure what the problem is.
Awesome work! For NES ROMS, it would be nice if I could map 'B' to the 'X' button on the Xbox controller because muscle memory remembers that the 'B' button is to the left of the 'A' button on the NES controller. My first test was Tecmo Super Bowl and I kept running, when I meant to pass.
Did a lot of testing for all the platforms, all games are (USA) region
NES - I tested all of the following NES games and they all seemed to work well, I'm not sure if Nesbox has save support in browser yet but there isn't any in Zelda. All of these were .NES files
-Castlevania, Contra , Legend of Zelda, The , Mega Man 2 , Metroid , Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3
GB/C- The Gameboy/Color had some issues with all 3 tested games cutting to black about a second or two into the intro with distorted audio. All of these were .gb or .gbc files
- Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Ages, Pokemon - Crystal Version, Pokemon - Red Version
SNES - The Snes seems to not want to boot at all with all 7 games leading to a black screen on boot. All were .SFC files
EDIT : All of the 7 snes games I listed below DO work after switching the file type from .sfc to .smc. It looks like all of the games run flawlessly with audio however it doesn't look like the saving works here either.
- Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country, EarthBound, Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past, Megaman X ,Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island
GBA - All the following games seem to cut to black after about 1 second of the intro with no sound. All were .GBA files
- Metroid: Fusion, Mario and Luigi, Superstar Saga, Metroid - Zero Mission, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Kingdom Hearts- Chain of Memories, Legend of Zelda - Minish Cap, The
I had the same problem and it worked when I used the smc format. I am using a Xbox One on preview mode. Still can't find a way to manually convert sfc to smc but thankls for your work.
Switching the file name from SFC to SMC worked wonderfully. I'll edit my post to reflect so, If i want to wipe the games saved into the emulator would clearing the cache in edge do it?

Built-in roms are located here: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\50446Nesbox.16735B73F29AD_1.1.1.0_x64__8y3dwps6jawp4\Assets\Roms

In the future we will be able to load the ROM by pendrive?
X1 Edge browser doesn't allow to upload files from file system (pendrive)
A big hello from Brazil! Thanks for the opportunity.

No problem I appreciate the work you've put into this project :)
I had the same problem and it worked when I used the smc format. I am using a Xbox One on preview mode. Still can't find a way to manually convert sfc to smc but thankls for your work.
also, try to use .smc instead .sfc, or try to rename extension
