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 :)

also, try to use .smc instead .sfc, or try to rename extension
