EmuCR: NESFaCE NESFaCE v0.01 Alpha is released. NESFaCE is an acronym that stands for Nintendo Entertainment System/Family Computer Emulator. However, the name also refers to putting the "FaCE" of the "NES" on another platform. In other words, it's an NES emulator. NESFaCE is written by 6T4 and licensed under the GNU GPL Version 3.0 or later. NESFaCE is currently based on NEStreme by Nikolas Gavalas and QuantumNES by scottgl.

NESFaCE is currently based on NEStreme by Nikolas Gavalas and QuantumNES by scottgl.

The ultimate goal of NESFaCE is 100% compatibility. However, since true 100% compatibility also requires other features (for example, playing Duck Hunt requires the Zapper), another of NESFaCE's goals is to implement all of these. In addition, since the field of NES emulators is already very populated, NESFaCE will need ways of appealing to the emulation community. Thus, non-essential features like savestates and recording are also goals for NESFaCE since more users will try NESFaCE if it has these. With all these goals, NESFaCE is an attempt to combine the best aspects of every other NES emulator.

The current version of NESFaCE is 0.01 Alpha. This version is just a rom header viewer; it won't play or run any games. To use it, you must have NES rom files that are in the iNES format. This means that they should have a 16-byte header at the beginning and have an extension of .nes. To view information about any of your games, open a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing NESFaCE.exe. To do this on Windows, go to Start->Run, type "cmd" without the quotes into the "Open" dialog and click OK or hit Enter. Then, in the command prompt that opens, type "cd "directory"" without the outermost quotes and hit Enter, where directory is the full address (starts with a drive letter) of the folder containing NESFaCE.exe. Now, type "NESFaCE.exe romfile" without the quotes to view info about your rom, where romfile is the filename of the NES rom you open, including the .nes extension. Enjoy using NESFaCE, and be sure to check for updates here.
