A cycle accurate NES emulator based on LaiNES.
==Installation==
Put the resulting LaiNes.nro file on the Switch's SD card under /switch/LaiNes/.
 
Place ROMs in sdmc:/switch/LaiNes/game/.


==To Use==
==User guide==
* Put the resulting LaiNes.nro file on the Switch's SD card under /switch/LaiNes
The emulator comes bundled with a simple GUI to navigate the filesystem and set preferences.  
* Place ROMs in sdcard:/switch/LaiNes/game


==Usage==
Use D-Pad and A to operate it. R toggles between emulation and menu.

*The quality of the audio emulation on Linux is very poor. Typing export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=ALSA before running the emulator has been reported to improve it.

LaiNES is a compact, cycle-accurate NES emulator in ~1000 lines of C++.

Original by AndreaOrru. Nintendo Switch port by Kevoot.

Note: LaiNES is no longer maintained.

Installation

Put the resulting LaiNes.nro file on the Switch's SD card under /switch/LaiNes/.

Place ROMs in sdmc:/switch/LaiNes/game/.

User guide

The emulator comes bundled with a simple GUI to navigate the filesystem and set preferences.

Use D-Pad and A to operate it. R toggles between emulation and menu.

Game compatibility

LaiNES implements the most common mappers, which should be enough for a good percentage of the games:

  • NROM (Mapper 000)
  • MMC1 / SxROM (Mapper 001)
  • UxROM (Mapper 002)
  • CNROM (Mapper 003)
  • MMC3, MMC6 / TxROM (Mapper 004)
  • AOROM (Mapper 007) <- EXPERIMENTAL

You can check the compatibility for each ROM in this list

Controls

D-Pad - Direction (Joystick too but there's a bug on the x-axis)

A - A

B - B

Minus - Select

Plus - Start

R - Program Menu
