Just as MAMEoX once had difficulty with dark zones, so does FCEUltra. Well, maybe. You see, I wanted to ask you if you had problems with dark zones and/or certain colors when trying to target. Haven't been able to figure out if it's my model of gun (X-Gunner Mark II, the Cheapass special) or the state of the lightgun engine. I must say, after your recent MameOX lightgun upgrade, I have had no problems with calibration or keeping focus, whereas whilst playing Gotcha! on NES, The cursor would veer right at the sight of orange, and would be completely irratic in darkness ("Adventures of Bayou Billy," as an example).
The reason for this post was my general curiousity as to whether or not we were gonna see a lightgun upgrade for FCEUltraX next. If not, that's entirely up to you, I suppose. Perhaps you have some other upgrade in mind, like some sort of VR thing where we jump into the game like some sort of twisted Captain N plotline. I learn not to doubt the power of the Xport.
Keep the peace.

I have not heard of any problems people were having with light guns in FCEUltraX in the most recent version. I have not tried those games you mentioned, but I'll get around to it at some point.

1. Reset Function
2. When you exit a game from your favorites section, it should go back to the game you exited, not to the beginning of your favorites list.
I've noticed #2 in your latest xboyadvance release. Are you planning on adding these features to this emu, or maybe, to all of your other classic emulators?
And if not, why? Thank You.

This problem is compounded with the fact that the current Xbox FCE Ultra has some technical benefits over the PC version, especially with regards to ultra-smooth, flickerless, shearless, tearless scrolling and graphics.
So I guess people want the best of both worlds, Xodnizel's recent improvements and XPort's improvements.
On another note, what about a flicker filter option in the XPort FCE Ultra?
Also, is it theoretically possible to add USB HID game controller support to homebrew XBOX software? That would let people use the recently made NES to USB adapters and modifications:
http://www.sealiecom....com/retrozone/
Using the real NES controller has advantages as the XBOX controllers have a D-pad in which it is far to easy to accidentally hit the diagonals when you intended to hit a pure left, right, up, or down motion on the D-pad. In Super Mario Bros, for example, this causes problems with crouching and sliding. Diagonal down doesn't result in a crouch. This typically isn't a problem with NES and SNES style D-pads.
Anyway, Xport, thanks for the great software... I am going to keep my fingures crossed hoping that we all someday see "the best of both worlds".
Post by: uiibaa on September 15, 2004, 07:23:00 PM
And also there is a need of a palette that is closer to what a real NES outputs (I realise you say you haven't implemented a "custom" palette feature in your faq... but, even if you didn't allow for a custom pallete file like the PC version does, at least replace the one you use). IMBNes already does both of those things, and it looks quite nice on a TV (s-video NES!)... even if IMBNes lacks a lot of features/mappers FCEUltra has. Sadly, not even NesterDC for Dreamcast does these things, either. It's just, as a side by side comparison... the colours look nothing like a real NES, and it's not as clear, either... (even with simple2x)... Just take a look at SMB, the colour is way off. I just thought, since the NES ran off the TV, it could be easier to closely imitate on another system that runs off a TV.
There were a handful of palette files on the net that tried to be as close as possible to the real NTSC NES... but only one, I noticed, was the most accurate. My main computer is down at the moment, so I can't pull it off my hardrive or tell you which one it was.
Anyways, just a thought.

But... If you resize your screen and pay attention to the horizontal/vertical resolutions... Wala! Perfect aspect ratio.
Which makes me think. Maybe a neat feature (for resizing screens) would be a "keep apect ratio" option.

The emulator is awesome! Thanks guys. I read all the faqs, I apologize if I missed something.
Contra is not working on my xbox. IGR is turned off on my bios and the same file works perfectly in windows using FCEUltra v. 081. I'm using the emulator v16. The fault is that the player and enemies show up normally, but the background is all black. I'm using the xecuter BIOS 4983.
Is this some kind of bug? Did my IGR settings not take effect? Sorry if it's something stupid, I did try.

that`s because the XBOX can`t allows some characters in the filenames (roms, videos,etc..).
. , + / " and others....
also, if you want to save roms (or whatever you want) in the XBOX HD, the rom filenames can`t be longer than 42 characters.
nevertheless, you can burn roms in a CD or a DVD with those characters, but you wont be able to save screenshots or save states.
if your roms doesn`t have this characters but they are longer than 42 characters, you can save states and screenshots as well, but if multiples roms have the same characters from the character number 1 to the character number 42, the XBOX will cut the folder filename due the 42 characters limit, that means a same screenshot for multiples roms.
Example...
if you have multiples roms like
Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu - Subette Koronde Dai Rantou (J) [b1].nes
Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu - Subette Koronde Dai Rantou (J) [b2].nes
Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu - Subette Koronde Dai Rantou (J) [p1].nes
Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu - Subette Koronde Dai Rantou (J) [t1].nes
this roms will have just one screenshot for all the 4 roms, this is because the XBOX will cut the folder filename due the 42 characters limit.
/Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu - Subette Koro/
Xport can`t fix this, and nobody can..

Read a lot of good things about this emulator, so I downloaded v16 and put into my xbox. I simply unrar the package and copied every files to F:/apps/fceultra. However, when I tried to invoke it, it kept going back to my dashboard with no error displayed or whatever - nothing. I've tried tweaking path to the skin and saves in the .ini file but nothing changed. Any help appreciated.
My xbox profile:
- v1.4
- softmod - UDE
- bios - X2 4982 BFM
- dashboard - evox
So far, the only NES emulator that works on my xbox is XNES, but its features are very limited and I have to reboot my xbox just to change games!

| Heya. I was having trouble with my save states. When I pushed the buttons, it said "state X saved" or loaded, but never actually loaded anything. From searching, it looks like I need to manually create the filepath for the saves, and the problem is that the emu doesn't know where to write (I made my own file structure). I am just writing to suggest that for the general faqs. Seems like an easy pitfall to stumble upon and it isn't documented anywhere. And if my solution is wrong (I haven't had a chance to do it yet), what should I do? |
just like i said before, you can`t save states if your rom has characters like . , + " ,etc. This is because the Xbox keeps the save states in the hard disk, and the XBOX file system can't allow roms with that characters that i have mentioned before. i bet that you have your roms in a DVD or a CD, don't you?
Another reason can be that save state folder has reached the files limit (over 4000 files by folder), so try erasing some files from that folder.

| October 29, 2004 No new *official* releases of FCE Ultra will be made. I mean it this time. :b The forum has been closed, as I will not be available to moderate it any longer, but the old posts will be viewable indefinitely. Crazy people may download http://fceultra.sour...pre.src.tar.bz2 which was intended to be 0.98.13. It should be stable, and fixed several major bugs present in 0.98.12, but I have neither the time nor desire to do thorough tests for regressions, and thus it will not be an official release. |
http://fceultra.sourceforge.net/
So now is the best time to start from scratch with the latest official FCE Ultra source code, as there is no longer a need to worry about forking of the code base. There have been many significant improvements in the official source tree, and it is one of the most popular XPort projects. I realize you would probably have to start from scratch, but then again, once the new port was finished, all that would be needed from then on would be a rare bug fix release every now and then. Oh, and doing a new port would also raise your karma

I've found great documentation for a palette that works in FCEU that looks closer to the original than any other palette available. This would be perfect to implement in your emulator that actually displays on a TV.
for NTSC: http://bmf.rustedmag...com/goodies.htm (final revision 2 seems more accurate, at least for super mario bros.)
for PAL: Matrixz's palette (can't find the url), also maybe this one.
Also, in FCEU, a pixel aspect ratio of 1.212 would be exactly like the original NES.
Thanks for the great emulator, and thank you for your time.
Post by: tradergordo on December 03, 2004, 06:22:00 AM
Any clues?
As for feature requests -- I would love to see the ability to remap the controls for menu navigation. My mame cabe only uses left thumb (stick) for up/down/left/right, the "auto scroll" feature of this emulator is a workaround, but isn't it kind of odd? Why not make every flavor of "up" (i.e. both left and right sticks) do the same thing as up on the pad? Its just for menu navigation in the emulator. Then you can eliminate the auto scroll thing which is just plain annoying.
Just for fun, here's my cab:

I have tried to match the overscan of FCEUX compared to a real NES both hooked up to the same TV. When I get home I will post the exact numbers that I got. We should all compare overscan numbers to see what he most accurate settings are for FCEUX.

1) I read that FCE supports ZIP files. Is this any zipped file, such as .7Z or .rar? Or is it only .zip files? Also, can there be multiple roms in a zip file or will it only recognize single rom zips?
2) You mentioned to never change the .ini by hand. Does this include paths and such? Don't see how changing the paths could throw things off. Also, I read that the .ini file is stored on E:. Is this path adjustable or is it coded in the .xbe?
Thanks.
Post by: Meats on December 18, 2004, 01:47:00 PM
Many rom packages such as GoodNES, etc all package a ton of roms into compressed files. Each zip has various versions of the same ROM, varying language, versions, hacks, etc.
A great feature would be once you select the zip file, the emulator would give you an option to select an embedded ROM. Right now it autoselects one ROM, you dont have a choice.
Anyway, Xport will figure this out, the dude is a PIMP.

2. this is more of a request for all ports that support cheats... would it be possible to add quick buttons below the on-screen keyboard when entering the descriptions for cheats? using the controller takes forever. it'd be nice to have buttons for comonly used words like infinite, lives, weapons, ammo, start, level, health, points......
or adding phrases like "start with" or "player 1" or "start on level" and simply finishing the cheat description with the keyboard. its would really speed things up.

What if anything can I do to make all the songs in my music file play continuously without constantly going into the menu and changing the song. Any help would be much appreciated.

Alright so I have done more searching and I found this.
MP3/M3U Playback
================
Simply select the MP3 or M3U file from the game-selection screen.
The M3U file can also just be a regular file with one songfile per line.
For example:
d:\songs\song1.mp3
e:\moresongs\song2.mp3
smb:\mp3s\song3.mp3
If you are making a playlist of songs on your SMB share, then please note
the format:
smb:\mp3s\song3.mp3
The smb:\ tells FCEUltra to read from your SMB shared directory. Do not
put the SMB share definition in the filename.
----------SMB shared filenames are case sensitive!!!----
I'm not even going to pretend to understand this, but is this the answer to my earlier question? I think I just need some spelling out....It takes me a while to get things but once I do I never forget them. If someone could give me an example screen shot it might help me. I'm new to all the tech stuff, but I am trying my best to catch up. Any help is much appreciated.

Does anyone know how to set FCEUltra v16 to where it boots up in 480p and saves that as the default? It sends a corrupt video if 480p, 720p and 1080i are enabled but when I enable 480p, 720p or 1080i it works like a charm in the FCEUltra menu but when I exit it and relaunch it, it defaults to 480i and the corrupt video. I checked the .ini file but can't find anything for the life of me to change the default to 480p.
Also when I launch games using FCEUltra it just shows a black screen but I can hear the audio of the game just fine. Can anyone help? Please this would be greatly appreciated.

All games tested with latest version of PCSXBox.
I'm going to be going into more detail than most. I just hated looking through the list and just seeing a couple of words here or there at the most. Assume all graphical fixes and CPU fixes are OFF if not mentioned. Assume BIOS mode unless otherwise mentioned. Percentage is my estimation of how close the emulation is to the real thing. Throttle button is always unmapped.
Arkanoid 2000 (J) - Intro music slightly skippy. Perfectly playable. 99% (Lazy screen updates, old frame skipping)
Castlevania Symphony Of The Night (U) - Konami intro's sound ever so slightly skippy. Perfectly playable. 99% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Firepro Wrestling G (J) - Intro music rarely skippy, story mode sounds skip a little. Perfectly playable. 97% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Guitar Freaks (J) - Intro stops and akips right when it reaches the title screen after the video itself is done playing. Music at selection screen slightly skippy. Seems to stay perfectly in sync on the songs I've tried. Unsure if disc change option works, I don't have the append disc. Perfectly playable with the right controller configuration. Disable CDDA needed, unless you enjoy having your ears blown out as soon as you start the game. Don't worry, the game doesn't actually USE CDDA to begin with. 95% (Frameskip, Framelimit, Disable CDDA)
Jumping Flash! (U) - This game is listed as not working, but it works with some.. er.. work. Music all the way through the game is really skippy from the intro to in-game, so you might as well turn it off and gain a bit of speed. With the default game setup, Jumping Flash! freezes the X-Box upon entering a level, right as it's about to draw the game world for the first time. This game requires use of the CPU interpreter which freezes the X-Box upon using the Exit Game menu item, at least it does here. Fully playable, but a slight bit on the slow or choppy side depending on what's happening onscreen. 75% (Old Frameskipping, Dark Forces, Disable XA Sound, Disable CDDA, Use CPU Interpreter)
Jumping Flash! 2 (U) - Everything about Jumping Flash! applies here.
Gunners Heaven (J) - Doesn't appear to be any music in the middle of playing, but I'm unsure if that's intended or not. Seems to otherwise run perfectly. 99% (Lazy screen updates, Old Frameskipping, Framelimit)
Rapid Reload (E) - European version of Gunners Heaven. Everything for it applies here
Sheep Raider (U) - Does not appear to work whatsoever, regardless of settings. 0%
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (U) - Slightly skippy music in FMV intros. Perfectly playable.99% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Persona/Revelations: Persona (U) - Perfectly playable. 100% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Grand Theft Auto 2 (E) - Works perfectly except for the fact that the radio stations constantly play and there's no way to stop them, even on foot. Turning down the music volume in-game simply does not work. Perfectly playable, though I'd recommend some button remapping. 95% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Harmful Park (J) - Goofy side-scrolling shooter in the Parodius vein. Works perfectly. 100% (Lazy screen updates, old frameskippnig, framelimit)
RPG Maker (U) - Works perfectly. 100% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
San Francisco Rush - Extreme Racing (U) - Developer intro is somewhat graphically messed up. Slight graphical anomalies that are barely noticed. Perfectly playable. 95% (Lazy screen updates, old frameskipping, Dark Forces fix, framelimit)

This is FCEUltraX discussion, not PCSXbox.
But good finds, though.

Question regarding saved games. According to the documentation, I need to exit to the FCE menu before turning off the Xbox or my saved games won't actually save. However, I have no idea how to do this. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I can't seem to find the answer... can someone help?

Phew, that problem was really bugging me. I figured it out all by myself.
Post by: cdburrner on February 27, 2005, 11:47:00 PM
1. add option to remove file extentions (this is already available in xboyadvance)
2. this is more of a request for all ports that support cheats... would it be possible to add quick buttons below the on-screen keyboard when entering the descriptions for cheats? using the controller takes forever. it'd be nice to have buttons for comonly used words like infinite, lives, weapons, ammo, start, level, health, points......
or adding phrases like "start with" or "player 1" or "start on level" and simply finishing the cheat description with the keyboard. its would really speed things up.

I have a question and I hope I'm in the right place. I have FCEultra on my xbox and when I'm playing the roms I like to listen to my own music. After I select the song I want from the menu it keeps repeating. What if anything can I do to make all the songs in my music file play continuously without constantly going into the menu and changing the song. Any help would be much appreciated.
Post by: Nezbit on April 20, 2005, 03:42:00 PM
MP3/M3U Playback
================
Simply select the MP3 or M3U file from the game-selection screen.
The M3U file can also just be a regular file with one songfile per line.
For example:
d:\songs\song1.mp3
e:\moresongs\song2.mp3
smb:\mp3s\song3.mp3
If you are making a playlist of songs on your SMB share, then please note
the format:
smb:\mp3s\song3.mp3
The smb:\ tells FCEUltra to read from your SMB shared directory. Do not
put the SMB share definition in the filename.
----------SMB shared filenames are case sensitive!!!----
I'm not even going to pretend to understand this, but is this the answer to my earlier question? I think I just need some spelling out....It takes me a while to get things but once I do I never forget them. If someone could give me an example screen shot it might help me. I'm new to all the tech stuff, but I am trying my best to catch up. Any help is much appreciated.

Also when I launch games using FCEUltra it just shows a black screen but I can hear the audio of the game just fine. Can anyone help? Please this would be greatly appreciated.

The Work on the menus and such are awesome.
id like to see a pc version of this because id like to make a pc dedicated just to NES
in the original casing and everything. If this is possible and isnt too much work could you please do so?

==================================================
Command-Line/Auto-Launching and Return to Launcher
==================================================
FCEUltra can be started with parameters to automatically launch a game
at startup. Example code can be found in the custom_launch_params.cpp file.

I'm going to be going into more detail than most. I just hated looking through the list and just seeing a couple of words here or there at the most. Assume all graphical fixes and CPU fixes are OFF if not mentioned. Assume BIOS mode unless otherwise mentioned. Percentage is my estimation of how close the emulation is to the real thing. Throttle button is always unmapped.
Arkanoid 2000 (J) - Intro music slightly skippy. Perfectly playable. 99% (Lazy screen updates, old frame skipping)
Castlevania Symphony Of The Night (U) - Konami intro's sound ever so slightly skippy. Perfectly playable. 99% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Firepro Wrestling G (J) - Intro music rarely skippy, story mode sounds skip a little. Perfectly playable. 97% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Guitar Freaks (J) - Intro stops and akips right when it reaches the title screen after the video itself is done playing. Music at selection screen slightly skippy. Seems to stay perfectly in sync on the songs I've tried. Unsure if disc change option works, I don't have the append disc. Perfectly playable with the right controller configuration. Disable CDDA needed, unless you enjoy having your ears blown out as soon as you start the game. Don't worry, the game doesn't actually USE CDDA to begin with. 95% (Frameskip, Framelimit, Disable CDDA)
Jumping Flash! (U) - This game is listed as not working, but it works with some.. er.. work. Music all the way through the game is really skippy from the intro to in-game, so you might as well turn it off and gain a bit of speed. With the default game setup, Jumping Flash! freezes the X-Box upon entering a level, right as it's about to draw the game world for the first time. This game requires use of the CPU interpreter which freezes the X-Box upon using the Exit Game menu item, at least it does here. Fully playable, but a slight bit on the slow or choppy side depending on what's happening onscreen. 75% (Old Frameskipping, Dark Forces, Disable XA Sound, Disable CDDA, Use CPU Interpreter)
Jumping Flash! 2 (U) - Everything about Jumping Flash! applies here.
Gunners Heaven (J) - Doesn't appear to be any music in the middle of playing, but I'm unsure if that's intended or not. Seems to otherwise run perfectly. 99% (Lazy screen updates, Old Frameskipping, Framelimit)
Rapid Reload (E) - European version of Gunners Heaven. Everything for it applies here
Sheep Raider (U) - Does not appear to work whatsoever, regardless of settings. 0%
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (U) - Slightly skippy music in FMV intros. Perfectly playable.99% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Persona/Revelations: Persona (U) - Perfectly playable. 100% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Grand Theft Auto 2 (E) - Works perfectly except for the fact that the radio stations constantly play and there's no way to stop them, even on foot. Turning down the music volume in-game simply does not work. Perfectly playable, though I'd recommend some button remapping. 95% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
Harmful Park (J) - Goofy side-scrolling shooter in the Parodius vein. Works perfectly. 100% (Lazy screen updates, old frameskippnig, framelimit)
RPG Maker (U) - Works perfectly. 100% (Frameskip, Framelimit)
San Francisco Rush - Extreme Racing (U) - Developer intro is somewhat graphically messed up. Slight graphical anomalies that are barely noticed. Perfectly playable. 95% (Lazy screen updates, old frameskipping, Dark Forces fix, framelimit)

Ok...I cannot figure this out. I have looked everywhere I can think of. First, FCEUltraX is awesome. I have it installed and it most everything works. The one problem I have is that it only sees about half of my roms. It shows from N-Z. File Manager shows the roms are all there in the same directory, from A-Z, but the emulator only shows N-Z.
I have tried re-copying everything via FTP a few times to no avail.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Dammit. I have FCEUltraX V16 installed on my XBOX V. 1.0 with Matrix Modchip flashed with Xecuter 2 (4981). Each time when I wanna enter a 8 digit Game Genie code, the system hangs and I have to restart the machine. The problem occures when I press the action button on EDIT Code option in the Cheats menu. It means that I'm not able to use ANY Game Genie code on my SO CALLED Emulator. I wonder why NO Improved versions are out since the long time ago when v.16 came out. Somebody please explain to me how should I fix my problem? I appreciate it.
So Long,

the fceultrax emulater to a disc, and do i need a mod chip
why would you want to burn fce to disk when mednafenx-nes is the new current emu to use? Fce is no longer updated by xport as i'm sure most people on here do not use it anymore.
use some google skills and find mednafenx-nes v8.
