1. [REL] Eutendo - A NES emulator
Here's a little something I've been working on for the past couple of weeks.
It's a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System for those of you who've been
living under a rock for the past 20 years) emulator for Win32. What makes it
special, and relevant to this list is that it's written entirely in
Euphoria. The emulator is now at a point where it will run a large number of
games/demos, so I thought I'd release for you to fill up some hdd space
with...
I've uploaded the archive to RDS's site so it should be available there
shortly. In the meantime you can fetch a copy at

Here's what's emulated in this release:
* CPU (custom 6502). All official opcodes are (should be) emulated.
* Memory (RAM, VRAM, ROM etc). Including mappers 0, 2, 3 (no, no MMC1/2/3
atm).
* PPU. Scanline based renderer. Scrolling sometimes causes glitches,
especially vertical scrolling.
* Joypad 1
It does all this at a whopping 15 fps on my PII-450 with frameskipping
turned off.. ..That means that with the default frameskip setting of 1 you
might actually be able to get full speed on a ~2GHz system :)
As you may have noted, sound is not emulated, and it probably never will be.
Emulation is slow enough as it is. I might want to fix some scrolling bugs
and add some more mappers, but who knows..
As always, it's YOUR responsibility what you do with this software. I DO NOT
encourage anyone to download illegal copies of ROMs and use them with this
software, and I don't want to get any lame questions like "Where can I get
game X?" or "Why won't this piece of crap run Zelda?" :P
