<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra is an NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator for various
|
|
||||||
platforms. It is based upon Bero's original FCE source code. Current
|
|
||||||
features include good PPU, CPU, pAPU, expansion chip, and joystick
|
|
||||||
emulation. Also a feature unique to this emulator(at the current
|
|
||||||
time) is authentic Game Genie emulation. Save states and snapshot
|
|
||||||
features also have been implemented.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
This document has been arranged to keep user interface details and emulation
|
|
||||||
details as separate as possible, though this has not been accomplished entirely.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In several places references are made to the "base directory". If you
|
|
||||||
are running a port on a UN*X-like system(Linux/*BSD/Mac OSX/SunOS/etc.), the
|
|
||||||
base directory is "~/.fceultra", or in other words,
|
|
||||||
"your home directory plus .fceultra". For all other ports(including DOS and
|
|
||||||
MS Windows), the base directory is the directory that the executable is in.
|
|

||||||
<a name="intro-history"><h3>History of FCE Ultra</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<i>This section is a work-in-progress. Some details may be incorrect.</i><br/>
|
|
||||||
Bero originally wrote a NES emulator that was referred to as <a href="http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown/2004/fce.htm">FCE</a>.
|
|
||||||
This name was apparently meant only to serve as a temporary name, but its usage remained. Xodnizel originally ported it to
|
|
||||||
Linux SVGAlib, and made a few improvements. This code base was abandoned,
|
|
||||||
and work began anew, under DOS, with the original FCE source code.
|
|
||||||
At the end of November, 1998, FCE Ultra Beta 1 was released.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra remained DOS-only until version 0.18, when it was ported to Linux
|
|
||||||
SVGAlib, and released as a staticly-linked executable. The first MS Windows
|
|
||||||
port was released as version 0.25.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The source code of 0.40 was released on November 12, 2000. It retained
|
|
||||||
the simple license of FCE for a long time, which stated that " This software is freeware.you can use it non-commercially."
|
|
||||||
Almost two years later, in June 2002, 0.80 was released, and FCE Ultra was relicensed under the GNU GPL.

|
|
||||||
<a name="features-cpu"><h3>CPU</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
All official instructions of the NES' CPU, the 2A03, which is compatible(mostly)
|
|
||||||
with the 6502, are emulated. "Unofficial" instructions are also emulated,
|
|
||||||
though probably not as accurately as the more well-defined official instructions.

||||||

<a name="features-ppu-palettes"><h4>Palettes</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra has many palette features, including loading a custom palette
|
|
||||||
to replace the default NES palette. The palette from an NTSC NES can
|
|
||||||
also be generated on-the-fly.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
First, a note on on the format of external palettes; Palette files are expected to contain 64 8-bit RGB triplets(each in
|
|
||||||
that order; red comes first in the triplet in the file, then green,
|
|
||||||
then blue). Each 8-bit value represents brightness for that particular
|
|
||||||
color. 0 is minimum, 255 is maximum.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Palettes can be set on a per-game basis. To do this, put a palette
|
|
||||||
file in the "gameinfo" directory with the same base filename
|
|
||||||
as the game you wish to associate with and add the extension "pal".
|
|
||||||
Examples:
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
File name: Palette file name:
|
|
||||||
BigBad.nes BigBad.pal
|
|
||||||
BigBad.zip BigBad.pal
|
|
||||||
BigBad.Better.nes BigBad.Better.pal
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
With so many ways to choose a palette, figuring out which one will
|
|
||||||
be active may be difficult. Here's a list of what palettes will
|
|
||||||
be used, in order from highest priority to least priority(if a
|
|
||||||
condition doesn't exist for a higher priority palette, the emulator
|
|
||||||
will continue down its list of palettes).
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li />NSF Palette(for NSFs only)
|
|
||||||
<li />Palette loaded from the "gameinfo" directory.
|
|
||||||
<li />NTSC Color Emulation(only for NTSC NES games).
|
|
||||||
<li />VS Unisystem palette(if the game is a VS Unisystem game and a palette is available).
|
|
||||||
<li />Custom global palette.
|
|
||||||
<li />Default NES palette.
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|

<hr width="90%">
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-sound"><h3>Sound</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
All 5 internal sound channels are supported(2x rectangle, triangle, noise,
|
|
||||||
and DMC/PCM). Sound channels are emulated with CPU instruction granularity.
|
|
||||||
There are two sound quality options. Low-quality sound, the default sound
|
|
||||||
quality option, generates sound data at 16x the playback rate and averages
|
|
||||||
those samples together to 1 sample. This method works fairly well and
|
|
||||||
is reasonably fast, but there is still some aliasing and sound distortion.
|
|
||||||
All sample rates between 8192Hz and 96000Hz are supported.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
The high-quality sound emulation is much more CPU intensive, but the
|
|
||||||
quality is worth it, if your machine is fast enough. Sound data is
|
|
||||||
generated at the NES' CPU clock rate(about 1.8MHz for the NTSC NES), and
|
|
||||||
then resampled to the output sample rate. Custom-designed 483rd order
|
|
||||||
Parks-McClellan algorithm filter coefficients are used. Supported playback rates are
|
|
||||||
44100Hz, 48000Hz, and 96000Hz. The following filter statistics apply
|
|
||||||
for NTSC emulation.
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
<table border>
|
|
||||||
<tr><th>Rate:</th><th>Passband Upper Bound(Hz):</th><th>Passband ripple(dB):</th><th>Transition bandwidth(Hz):</th><th>Stopband attenuation(dB):</th></tr>
|
|
||||||
<tr><td>44100</td><td>11982.5</td><td>0.20</td><td>10067.5</td><td>66.4</td></tr>
|
|
||||||
<tr><td>48000</td><td>13932.5</td><td>0.10</td><td>10067.5</td><td>60.0</td></tr>
|
|
||||||
<tr><td>96000</td><td>30000.0</td><td>0.01</td><td>18000.0</td><td>103.0</td></tr>
|
|
||||||
</table>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In addition to improved tonal quality, the high-quality sound emulation
|
|
||||||
also simulates deficiencies present in the NES' D/A converter, which
|
|
||||||
causes the sound output to be non-linear(for example, 16+16 might create
|
|
||||||
an output equivalent to 25). Emulation of this is necessary for the
|
|
||||||
DMC/PCM sound channel to sound correct. For example, without this feature,
|
|
||||||
the drums in "Crystalis" are excessively fuzzy.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The "highest" sound quality mode is similar to the normal high-quality mode,
|
|
||||||
but the filters are of a higher order(1024 coefficients). Ripple is
|
|
||||||
reduced, the upper bound of the passband is higher, and the stopband
|
|
||||||
attenuation is slightly higher. The highest-quality mode filter coefficients
|
|
||||||
were created using "gmeteor". The parameters used to create these filters
|
|
||||||
can be found in the source code distribution.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Besides the 5 internal NES sound channels, FCE Ultra emulates the extra
|
|
||||||
sound capabilities of the Konami VRCVI, Konami VRCVII, Namco 106, Nintendo MMC5, and the Sunsoft FME-07 chips. The extra sound
|
|
||||||
channel in the Famicom Disk System is also emulated, but the support for
|
|
||||||
its FM capabilities is limited.
|
|
||||||

<hr width="90%">
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-input"><h3>Input</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra emulates the standard NES gamepad, the Four-Score multiplayer
|
|
||||||
adapter, the Zapper, the Power Pad, and the Arkanoid controller. The
|
|
||||||
Famicom version of the Arkanoid controller, the "Space Shadow" gun, the
|
|
||||||
Famicom 4-player adapter, and the Family Keyboard are also emulated.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-input-zapper"><h4>Zapper</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Most Zapper NES games expect the Zapper to be plugged into port 2.
|
|
||||||
and most VS Unisystem games expect the Zapper to be plugged
|
|
||||||
into port 1.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
The left mouse button is the emulated trigger button for the
|
|
||||||
Zapper. The right mouse button is also emulated as the trigger,
|
|
||||||
but as long as you have the right mouse button held down, no color
|
|
||||||
detection will take place, which is effectively like pulling the
|
|
||||||
trigger while the Zapper is pointed away from the television screen.
|
|
||||||
Note that you must hold the right button down for a short
|
|
||||||
time to have the desired effect.

<a name="features-expansion"><h3>File Formats/Expansion Hardware</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra supports the iNES, FDS(raw and with a header), UNIF, and NSF file
|
|
||||||
formats. FDS ROM images in the iNES format are not supported; it would
|
|
||||||
be silly to do so and storing them in that format is nonsensical.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra supports loading ROM/disk images from some types of compressed files.
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra can load data from both PKZIP-format files and
|
|
||||||
gzip-format files. Only the "deflate" algorithm is supported, but
|
|
||||||
this is the most widely used algorithm for these formats.
|
|
||||||
A compressed FDS disk image will only be saved back to disk if it
|
|
||||||
uses the gzip format.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
All files in a PKZIP format archive will be scanned for the
|
|
||||||
followings extensions: .nes, .fds, .nsf, .unf, .nez, .unif
|
|
||||||
The first compressed file to have one of these extensions will be
|
|
||||||
loaded. If no compressed file has one of these extensions, the
|
|
||||||
first compressed file will be loaded.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-expansion-ines"><h4>iNES Format</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The battery-backed RAM, vertical/horizontal mirroring, four-screen
|
|
||||||
name table layout, and 8-bit mapper number capabilities of the iNES
|
|
||||||
format are supported. The 512-byte trainer capability is also supported,
|
|
||||||
but it is deprecated. Common header corruption conditions are cleaned(let's
|
|
||||||
go on a DiskDude hunt), though not all conditions can be automatically
|
|
||||||
detected and fixed. In addition, a few common header inaccuracies for
|
|
||||||
games are also corrected(detected by CRC32 value). Note that these
|
|
||||||
fixes are not written back to the storage medium.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Support for the recent VS System bit and "number of 8kB RAM banks"
|
|
||||||
is not implemented. Too many iNES headers are corrupt where this new data
|
|
||||||
is stored, causing problems for those games.
|
|
||||||

<a name="features-expansion-fds"><h4>Famicom Disk System</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
You will need the FDS BIOS ROM image in the base FCE Ultra directory.
|
|
||||||
It must be named "disksys.rom". FCE Ultra will not load FDS games
|
|
||||||
without this file.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
Two types of FDS disk images are supported: disk images with the
|
|
||||||
FWNES-style header, and disk images with no header. The number
|
|
||||||
of sides on headerless disk images is calculated by the total file
|
|
||||||
size, so don't put extraneous data at the end of the file.
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
You should make backups of all of your FDS games you use with FCE
|
|
||||||
Ultra. This is because FCE Ultra will write the disk image back to
|
|
||||||
the storage medium, and the disk image in RAM might have been corrupted
|
|
||||||
because of inaccurate emulation(this case is not likely to occur, but
|
|
||||||
it could occur).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-expansion-genie"><h4>Game Genie</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The Game Genie ROM image is loaded from the file "gg.rom" in the
|
|
||||||
base directory the first time Game Genie emulation is enabled and
|
|
||||||
a ROM image is loaded since the time FCE Ultra has run.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
The ROM image may either be the 24592 byte iNES-format image, or
|
|
||||||
the 4352 raw ROM image.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
Remember that enabling/disabling Game Genie emulation will not take
|
|
||||||
effect until a new game is loaded(this statement shouldn't concern
|
|
||||||
any of the "run once" command-line driven ports).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-expansion-vs"><h4>VS Unisystem</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra currently only supports VS Unisystem ROM images in the
|
|
||||||
iNES format. DIP switches and coin insertion are both emulated.
|
|
||||||
The following games are supported, and have palettes provided(though not
|
|
||||||
necessarily 100% accurate or complete):
|

<a name="features-ips"><h3>Automatic IPS Patching</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Place the IPS file in the same directory as the file to load,
|
|
||||||
and name it filename.ips.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
Examples: Boat.nes - Boat.nes.ips
|
|
||||||
Boat.zip - Boat.zip.ips
|
|
||||||
Boat.nes.gz - Boat.nes.gz.ips
|
|
||||||
Boat - Boat.ips
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Some operating systems and environments will hide file extensions.
|
|
||||||
Keep this in mind if you are having trouble.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Patching is supported for all supported formats(iNES, FDS, UNIF, and
|
|
||||||
NSF), but it will probably only be useful for the iNES format. It
|
|
||||||
can be used with the FDS format, but be warned that it will permanently
|
|
||||||
patch your disk image, as the disk image is written back to disk
|
|
||||||
when the game is unloaded(unless the disk image is in a zip file, in
|
|
||||||
which case it isn't written back to disk). UNIF files can't be
|
|
||||||
patched well with the IPS format because they are chunk-based with no
|
|
||||||
fixed offsets.

<a name="intro"><h2>Introduction</h2></a>
|
|
||||||
<p> FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that
|
|
||||||
is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE
|
|
||||||
Ultra had separated into many separate branches.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra,
|
|
||||||
FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch
|
|
||||||
of FCEU. As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator
|
|
||||||
that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the
|
|
||||||
ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
In several places references are made to the "base directory". If you
|
|
||||||
are running a port on a UN*X-like system(Linux/*BSD/Mac OSX/SunOS/etc.), the
|
|
||||||
base directory is "~/.fceux", or in other words,
|
|
||||||
"your home directory plus .fceux".
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<hr width="90%">
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-input"><h3>Input</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra emulates the standard NES gamepad, the Four-Score multiplayer
|
|
||||||
adapter, the Zapper, the Power Pad, and the Arkanoid controller. The
|
|
||||||
Famicom version of the Arkanoid controller, the "Space Shadow" gun, the
|
|
||||||
Famicom 4-player adapter, and the Family Keyboard are also emulated.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-input-zapper"><h4>Zapper</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Most Zapper NES games expect the Zapper to be plugged into port 2.
|
|
||||||
and most VS Unisystem games expect the Zapper to be plugged
|
|
||||||
into port 1.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
The left mouse button is the emulated trigger button for the
|
|
||||||
Zapper. The right mouse button is also emulated as the trigger,
|
|
||||||
but as long as you have the right mouse button held down, no color
|
|
||||||
detection will take place, which is effectively like pulling the
|
|
||||||
trigger while the Zapper is pointed away from the television screen.
|
|
||||||
Note that you must hold the right button down for a short
|
|
||||||
time to have the desired effect.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<hr width="90%">
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-expansion-fds"><h4>Famicom Disk System</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
You will need the FDS BIOS ROM image in the base FCEUX directory.
|
|
||||||
It must be named "disksys.rom". FCEUX will not load FDS games
|
|
||||||
without this file.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
Two types of FDS disk images are supported: disk images with the
|
|
||||||
FWNES-style header, and disk images with no header. The number
|
|
||||||
of sides on headerless disk images is calculated by the total file
|
|
||||||
size, so don't put extraneous data at the end of the file.
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
You should make backups of all of your FDS games you use with
|
|
||||||
FCEUX. This is because FCEUX will write the disk image back to
|
|
||||||
the storage medium, and the disk image in RAM might have been corrupted
|
|
||||||
because of inaccurate emulation(this case is not likely to occur, but
|
|
||||||
it could occur).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-expansion-genie"><h4>Game Genie</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
The Game Genie ROM image is loaded from the file "gg.rom" in the
|
|
||||||
base directory the first time Game Genie emulation is enabled and
|
|
||||||
a ROM image is loaded since the time FCEUX has run.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
The ROM image may either be the 24592 byte iNES-format image, or
|
|
||||||
the 4352 raw ROM image.
|
|
||||||
</p><p>
|
|
||||||
Remember that enabling/disabling Game Genie emulation will not take
|
|
||||||
effect until a new game is loaded(this statement shouldn't concern
|
|
||||||
any of the "run once" command-line driven ports).
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<a name="features-expansion-vs"><h4>VS Unisystem</h4></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
FCE Ultra currently only supports VS Unisystem ROM images in the
|
|
||||||
iNES format. DIP switches and coin insertion are both emulated.
|
|
||||||
The following games are supported, and have palettes provided(though not
|
|
||||||
necessarily 100% accurate or complete):
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li />Dr. Mario
|
|

<a name="features-ips"><h3>Automatic IPS Patching</h3></a>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Place the IPS file in the same directory as the file to load,
|
|
||||||
and name it filename.ips.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<pre>
|
|
||||||
Examples: Boat.nes - Boat.nes.ips
|
|
||||||
Boat.zip - Boat.zip.ips
|
|
||||||
Boat.nes.gz - Boat.nes.gz.ips
|
|
||||||
Boat - Boat.ips
|
|
||||||
</pre>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Some operating systems and environments will hide file extensions.
|
|
||||||
Keep this in mind if you are having trouble.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
<p>
|
|
||||||
Patching is supported for all supported formats(iNES, FDS, UNIF, and
|
|
||||||
NSF), but it will probably only be useful for the iNES format. It
|
|
||||||
can be used with the FDS format, but be warned that it will permanently
|
|
||||||
patch your disk image, as the disk image is written back to disk
|
|
||||||
when the game is unloaded(unless the disk image is in a zip file, in
|
|
||||||
which case it isn't written back to disk). UNIF files can't be
|
|
||||||
patched well with the IPS format because they are chunk-based with no
|
|
||||||
fixed offsets.

All emulated keys are mapped to the closest open key on the PC
