If there are other games that don't work in MednafenX-NES but do work in other open-source emulators, let me know and I may be able to implement them.

Regarding mapper - select the mapper line, then immediately cancel with B.

Xport, one reason that games will not run correctly in an NES emulator is because the ROM's header is incorrect.  Auditing tools such as GoodNES do not check to make sure that the header has correct values for all fields for a particular game.  Nestopia solves this problem in a manner similar to MAME, i.e., it keeps its own internal database for automatically correcting headers.  In fact, it doesn't even need to change the actual ROM file, as it can simply ignore the header info in the ROM, which is most likely incorrect anyway, and instead when a ROM is loaded, it looks up the correct header data in its database.

Hence you might want to port Nestopia's internal ROM database into Mednafenx-nes.  You'd be surprised how many games that didn't run or that didn't run correctly will run perfectly when using an internal ROM database.

Really though, this is a NES-specific problem, mainly do to the fact that the NES ROMs floating around the net have bad headers.

Thank you for the powerpad support, I will have to mod one in the near future.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Man, all I know is that I wanted to play some 4 player Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu and FCEUltra wouldn't let me.  Now that this is out, I can kick ass all day long.

Couldn't you somehow use a DDR Dancemat for this?  Seems like the logical thing to do.

That wouldn't go with my other retro controllers. Also, DDR pad doesn't have enough panels (12).

[Tomobobo]

I can't figure out how to use the power pad.  Where do I go to configure the buttons?

[Diontae18]

yo Xport, forgot to mention that since you've helped me rekindle that magic I used to have for Ultima: Exodus, I named a character after you. He's A Human, Class a Druid (Best Class In The Game IMO).

I'll try posting the save here tomorrow. The save's near the end of the game, all that's left to do is go to the king palace that's surrounded by this snake (Choose "Tools" and play The Flute To Make It Go Undersea), Make it to the Altar to the far north, Pray, and choose the cards in this order or you'll instantly die.

This one just keeps getting better & better.  I'm glad PowerPad support has finally been added.  I've always thought it was a good idea that could be easily implemented.

@Jagasian: Great suggestion.  I didn't even know about internal ROM databases.  Sounds like it'd help out a lot.

- Select a custom palette file

I noticed in version 7 this feature was added, but I am unable to find it in the menu or find any information on it in the documentation (using version 8 now).

There is a problem with dragon ball z 4-1 [p1].zip mapper.

Fceultrax is able to play all the 4 games in the cartridge, but mednafenx nes is only able to play the last game  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Here is the information of the rom.

Dragon Ball Z 4-in-1 [p1][!].zip

 PRG ROM:   64 x 16KiB
 CHR ROM:  128 x  8KiB
 ROM CRC32:  0x9c42e662
 ROM MD5:  0x1ba9cd23068df4d7e982c951753b66af
 Mapper:  83
 Mirroring: Horizontal

I know its marked as buggy in the documents, but is there any reason why all games in this cartridge are playable in fceultra and not in mednafenx?

Another question is that if its possible to add all those mappers supported in mednafenx that are not supported in fceultra because fceultra seems to be less resource demandant.

I finaly got the powerpad stuff to work, but now the only game that I wish to play doesn't work.  Well, half of it works, but the half I want to play doesn't.

Short Order - Eggsplode (U).nes

Eggsplode works, Short Order freezes whenever you press "9" to go into it.  I dunno what's up with it, cause I don't know about all this mapper stuff or whatnot.

For starters, I've confirmed that I'm running v8...it would suck if I tried to give you advice with an older version.

I just booted up v8 and played the first level of Kung-Fu to see if there were any problems.  It played perfectly in 1080i/NTSC (IIRC).  That's a great game BTW.

So...with that in mind...I'll ask a few more questions to see if I can help you or jog your memory.

- Did you do a clean install of Mednafenx-nes v8?  
- Did you delete the prior save file / save states / cache remnants that might cause problems?
- Did this rom work fine on prior NES emulators?  Is it tested to work?
- Have you tried wiping everything and then re-ftp upload again to see if it works then?

Let me know and I'll try to help out...later.
