XNA SharpNES 2nd Release - Full Speed, Save Games and Rom Navigation
>> 'Lone Coder' released a new version of XNA SharpNES - a indie NES emulator for Xbox 360 made with Microsoft's 'XNA Game Studio Express'.What's new/fixed:* Second controller fixed (Yea for Luigi fans!)* Made thumbstick work as an alternate control* Battery saves are stored to disk (Be sure to exit the emu or it won't save)* Crude rom navigation* Emu remembers which rom was last loaded and will load it up* Minor performance improvements* Emu runs at full speed when not being debuggedWhat's Still Missing:* Real Rom Loading Menu* Sound (Might I suggest humming along or retro game music from the 360)* Full Mapper Support
