nestur

This is an NES emulator and a work in progress. The CPU and PPU work, though there are still at least a couple bugs. I've mostly tested on Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. so far. There are plenty of full-featured emulators out there; this is primarily an educational project but I do want it to run well.

  • One dependency (SDL)

  • One line of unsafe ( std::mem::transmute::<u8>() -> i8 )

  • NTSC timing

-------------------

The code aims to follow the explanations from https://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/NES_reference_guide where possible, especially in the PPU, and the comments quote from it often.

Thanks to Michael Fogleman's https://github.com/fogleman/nes for getting me unstuck at several points.

To do:

  • More mappers (only NROM/mapper 0 implemented so far)

  • DMC audio channel, high- and low-pass filters, APU cleanup/timing fix

  • Save/load functionality and battery-backed RAM solution

  • Player 2 controller?
