MacFCEU 0.8a7

Description

MacFCEU is a Mac OS-specific port of FCE Ultra 0.98.13 (an NES/Famicom emulator), and beyond. Classic and Carbon are supported exclusively.

Minimal Requirements:

System 7.1 or later (7.5.5+ recommended)

A 68020 or better - a 266MHz+ computer is necessary for real time performance; 333MHz+ for full, smooth performance, working speed features
Note: requirements may be lower with sound turned off (0% volume)

2700KB of RAM (Largest Unused Block), preset to 4 MB/3 MB
The optimal sample rate is 2x the native/set system rate. (44509 for the 22254.54545 Hz rate; divides evenly by two as far as the Sound Manager's 16 bits of fractional precision is concerned.)

Changelog

MacFCEU 0.8a7 2013.07.15

The Carbon build is omitted due to the inability to test it. For accurate (or fairly) Classic emulation, try Basilisk II, either the modern 2008 or 2013 versions (for faster systems) or build 143 (for older).

Current features include: NSFe support, a PPU tile viewer, a customized speed option, a command line-interfaced debugger with a C-like expression parser.

Recent changes include:

Better real-time playback and smoother sound w. quadruple buffering.
MMC5 high CHR bank storage.
Ability to select an individual file within a Zip archive (list window).

(0.8a7+)

Added volume settings for all emulated expansion hardware.
Updated the disassembler, but mostly the assembler.
Fixed FME/N163 addressing conflict.
Put PPU scanline (L#) and pixel address (@#) on Debugger sidebar.
Fixed breakpoint and command line bugs (e.g., using en-dash as minus).

The 6502/10 assembler is ready for general use, and supports most formats, some special keywords and preprocessing directives, including .if[[n]def], .define and .undef. Procedure management moves all .proc code to the end.

The miniunz code for the ZLib library was also updated (earlier) to process MACOSX resource forks.
