It's weird to me that there's a midpoint between working emulator and non-working emulator. You'd think just doing one instruction wrong would make it crash rather quickly.

the CPU instructions are really easy to emulate. The graphics and audio however are much harder and require very precise timings. Some games might rely on those timings and crash, but super mario bros is very simple in comparison
honestly like 60% of the challenge of writing a good emulator is cycle accuracy and emulation of weird analog domain stuff like open bus or clock skew. you can get super mario bros working without all that since its one of the older, simpler games for the nes and doesnt really test the limits of the hardware but not all games are tolerant of that kind of imperfect timing and bus behavior, especially newer ones made toward the end of the commercial life of the nes

Hey there, I'm the creator of this emulator. I just wanted to explain why it doesn't run like a lot of you think it should. I created this 5 years ago, when I was still in highschool and had an interest in computer science. The goal was to create an emulator that could run the original mario bros in a playable state, and I think I achieved that. This was never meant to be the optimal way to play, this was only a way to try my hand at creating an emulator as a lone high school student. I hope this explains many of the questions you may have.
Wow I’m here just an hour after you- this emulator really doesn’t seem bad, just sub-optimal and i think it’s impressive that a high schooler was able to achieve making one that still lets you play the game!
That's awesome you replied!! :O I also don't really think it's the *worst* nes player, since like you said, it was meant to be in a playable state. You got me curious now, what made you decide to have the emulator default to the microsoft wavetable synth? Was it the most simple route to take when programming it?
"How does having ADHD work?" "My brain is playing Super Mario for NES." "OOOK cool I guess?" "Also playing Metal Gear Rising for Xbox 360 at the same time."
worst? this is the MOST impressive emulator with how it converts all sounds to MIDI sounds.....now I need to download this and test other games with it...
there's also a program called NSF2MIDI, works well except with a few songs, doesn't so drums/noise at all, and exports badly, but it's still pretty cool for what it is
Honestly this emulator is impressive, who ever made this really went into a hurdle to make it. We know it won’t stand a chance to other emulators, but this must of been an achievement to make something like this.
@TheContinuator SMB2US does not use a trick for a non scrolling status bar. It just uses sprites for the powerup HUD. Also I would think the SMB2 music, especially the main theme, is a lot more MIDI compatible (well, it's basically a ragtime, it'd sound great on a piano without changes). Why it fails Lost Levels (the real SMB2) is beyond me. Actually now curious to try, to maybe learn a new technical trick that might be in SMB2.
This is funny and all but to be fair this was likely just some project somebody made to see if they could create an emulator for mario, I highly doubt they were trying to make a fully functional NES Emulator
Yeah, haha bad emulator, but the creator made this in like 2004, when there weren't a lot of resources on how to make emulators, and it actually works, so I'm impressed still
