Macifom


Description

Macifom is a highly-accurate NES emulator and debugger written in Objective-C that leverages the latest Mac OS X APIs to provide excellent performance and usability. The purpose of this project to facilitate new NES development on the Mac OS X platform while leveraging OS X technologies such as AppKit, OpenCL, CoreAudio, OpenGL and more!

The latest version of Macifom features:

  • Cycle-exact CPU (2A03) emulation for valid opcodes
  • Scanline-accurate PPU (2C02) emulation
  • Excellent sound reproduction care of Blargg's Nes_snd_emu library
  • Windowed and full-screen display modes
  • Support USB Gamepad and Joystick controls
  • Supports games designed for NROM, UxROM, CNROM, AxROM, SNROM, SUROM, TxROM, VRC1, VRC2a, VRC2b, and iNES #184 (Sunsoft) boards.
  • Automatic saving of cartridge SRAM to disk
  • A debugger featuring breakpoints, live disassembly of program code, reading and writing of memory locations, register display and step-through execution.

I am working to extend Macifom's emulation and debugging capabilities with the following:

  • Support for additional mapper chips and cartridge boards
  • Interfaces for viewing and modifying live program and graphics memory
  • Française, 日本語, Español and Deutch localizations
