2021年2月1日 · NESticle, Genecyst, and Callus were groundbreaking emulators in their own right, and Icer was (and still is) a brilliant coder. But it strikes me as just plain morally wrong to ostensibly white-wash what was made an otherwise hellish existence for both him and his family, for him simply having the temerity to work on a project that he was ...

2018年3月29日 · NESticle was fantastic for it's time and it is an example of the 2 schools of thought in emulation. Ehhh. NESticle being inaccurate isn't the result of some 2 schools of thought at all. There weren't any schools of thought on the matter when NESticle was out, as there was only 1 way to emulate games fast enough for them to actually be playable.

2022年2月25日 · FPGA is a tricky one, as it is technically hardware emulation, but the term "hardware emulation" tends to come with a lot of baggage from the term "software emulation", and the two really don't have that much in common.

2019年3月21日 · Nesticle and Genecyst are far more impressive technical achievements than Callus where the main challenge at the time would definitely have been squeezing enough performance out of things (which he did an excellent job of) rather than reverse engineering it. Arcade systems typically impress via ROM capacity and fill rates, not complexity.

2022年10月30日 · NESticle was an early NES emulator that ran on DOS in the late 90s, and had a Windows version too! r/Computer_Memories • Excitebike (1984) running on NESticle NES emulator on DOSBox

2021年2月1日 · So iNES is where the plague of headers came from. The internet research was 10x better than I expected. Happy to see that NESticle enabling the hacking scene was mentioned. Programming details avoided so is fair but could have mentioned it used HLE out of necessity to enable playing games at full speed. Could have said it also worked on Windows 95.

2022年1月17日 · In short, NESticle was a very popular NES emulator back in the late 90s (could run decently on very low end machines) and the developer had planned to make an SNES emulator, but never released it, presumably due to all the drama fallout after NESticle, which still very much exists in the emulation community today frankly.

2024年4月26日 · NESticle is extremely inaccurate and has hacks to get games to work. That’s why it worked with mid-90s processing power. Fun to boot up as a nostalgia trip but it’s a terrible emulator by today’s standards. You’re tricking yourself into thinking it’s useful today. FCEUX is the least accurate modern NES emulator.

2022年1月31日 · The name "SNESticle" is no coincidence – Icer Addis aka "Sardu"is probably best known as the author of the NESticle emulator, a relatively early and wildly popular NES emulator. "Sardu" later went on to work on several EA Sports titles, including this one.
