Thats right, MarioNES has evolved. I changed its name to 80five for 2 reasons:

1.) I was born in 1985
2.) The NES was released in the United States in August of 1985

Why the name change?

Well the entire emulator was pretty much rewritten. The only thing remaining from the last release of MarioNES was the core. I did this so I could have a fresh start and fix all things I did wrong or sloppily in MarioNES. This also allowed me to correctly implement DirectX, which prvides much smoother video, better sound quality, and easier configuration of controls.

Whats new?

- Configurable controls for both the keyboard and gamepad
- FULLSCREEN! Now with multiple resolutions!
- Memory Viewer
- Palette Viewer
- Standardized save state files
- And more!

Still to come...

- Game Genie/cheat support
- Stuff...

If you have any other questions or comments leave them here, thats what its for.

Is it out now, or is the "still to come" list for the first release yet?

Wow! this emulator is alot better now. and i can play games with my ps1 pad. The sound is also quite a bit more acurate as well. Though it runs a bit slow on my athlon XP 2500+ at 768x720 windowed mode without frame skipping. I can't wait for the "stuff..." that's still to come.

well... actualy i can, but i'm just being overly enthusiastic

Very good release! There is one issue I have with it though. It really needs a V-Sync option. Of course it runs completely fullspeed on my 2.6ghz machine, but I still get tearing in the video when backgrounds scroll because of the lack of V-Sync. Besides that, I love this new incarnation. Thanks.

My sound seems to be playing rather slowly. Can I fix this?
