MednafenX-NES is an NES emulator for XBox. Original by XPort based on Mednafen and updated by Madmab.
User guide
Configuration defaults
In the "General settings" menu there will be a new option - "Automatically Use Default Game Configuration - Yes/No".
If the user sets it to "Yes" it will bring up the game configuration screen and let the user define the default (if no default.stg and default.key file exists).
In the "Configuration" menu there will be a new option - "Set default game configuration".
The user can go in anytime thru the "Configuration" menu to change these "defaults" to something else if they wish.
Once set to "Automatically use Default Game Configuration" the user will not see the game configuration screen again unless they... a) press X when selecting a game. Change "Use Default Game Configuration" back to "No".
Keep in mind when it is set to "Yes" the game will use your "Default game settings" and not the normal x-port behavior. If set to "No" the emulator will behave like it usually does. Each emu is typically different. But all, at the very least carry the controller settings over.

Changelog
v15b14 Fixed
- Corrected a problem created by the fix in CFv1b29 which caused 480i mode for PAL60 users to have the wrong refresh rate. Whoopsie.
- Added pixel perfect modes for 720x480, 720x576 and 640x576.
v15b14
- Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b32. See "Interface Changelog.txt".
- The option to "prevent rewind and rewind toggling" in the "Dummy/Lockdown mode" is now available and works on Mednafen emulators.
- Changes to the screenshot code to account for new directory layout when using "Extras menu" screenshot options.
- Game SFX volume is no longer saved with a game configuration.
- Selecting a NES palette was not only not "auto selecting" the emulator directory (D:\\), it was not properly returning you back to the ROMs folder (fixed). I also moved the ".pal" files into the "Palettes" directory. So make sure you create that directory and place the ".pal" files in there.
- Fixed issue where emulator would crash if it was unable to find the palette file. It also now looks for palette files in the "D:\palettes" folder. So make sure you move any palettes you are using into that folder.
- Fixed issue where in game menu "VS" options were not displaying when playing "VS" games only "FDS" options.
- In game menu options now properly display dipswitch/insert coin options only when using "VS" cart and "FDS" options when playing a "FDS" game.
- Added MDFN_FASTCALL function to all relevant areas.. in theory this should help speed up some games on the 'ol xbox.
- Converted all mappers to dynamically allocate WRAM as needed (for memory savings).
- Decoupled the PCE and LYNX cores to allow easier updating of code.
- Total memory saving from two above changes is about a half a megabyte of RAM.
- Added IRQ code to the FDS driver to fix blinking status screen issues with Druid and Famicom Grand Prix I.

v15b12
- Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b23. See "Interface Changelog.txt".
- Fixed problem where Sprite var was being trashed when changing video mode when playing a game. This prevented the game genie code edit screen from working properly.
- Game Configurations settings for Controller 1, Controller 2, Expansion Port Device Mapper and Mirroring were being reset when going into the game configuration screen. Fixed.
- Updated mapper 99. (See Vs. Super Mario Bros. - Home Edition - http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1014/).
v15b11
- Fixed an issue with the fps counter being all wacky and not displaying correctly. (It did not affect emulation speed).
v15b10
- Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b18. See "Interface Changelog.txt".
- Added 6 new software filters from GensX and 2 from NeoGeo CD emulator (see interface changelog for more details).
- Based on user feedback removed the following software filters 2xSai Scanline, 4xSai Scanline, Super 2xSai Scanline, Super 4xSai Scanline, Eagle 2x Scanline, Eagle 4x Scanline, Super Eagle2x Scanline, Super Eagle4x Scanline.

v15b09

v15b08
- Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b14. See "Interface Changelog.txt".
- v7b07 was an unoffically released (osd buf test).
- Disabled MednafenX-NES' internal screen buffer to help save on some memory.
v15b06
- Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b11. See "Interface Changelog.txt".
v15b05
- Updated to madmab edition interface CFv1b08. See "Interface Changelog.txt".
- Emu core related:
- Mapper 163 added (See Final Fantasy VII NES Project http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1657/). For those who are worthy.
- Goofed on the game config screen code. Fixed.
v15b03
- Updated to the latest madmab edition interface.
- Emu core related:
- In game menu FDS options are only displayed when a FDS image is loaded.
- Interface Related Changes:
- (For skin designers) - Freesprites is only called when an FDS game is run (too much memory). So IGM sprites should work for all NES games except FDS.
v15
- v14 never saw the light of day.
- New feature "Seconds before playing movie" determines how long the emu will wait before playing a movie. The default is half a second. This will help speed up rom browsing. Especially useful for people streaming stuff (like movies) across the network.
- If streaming movies from across the network and the user press on the dpad or a, b, x or y the emulator will abort the transfer. This should help speed up rom browsing and allow the user an "out" especially for the larger movies.
- Fixed an issue with the software filters displaying garbage.
- Activated the "Keep user Within ROM Directory Tree?" which I somehow missed.
- Fixed up the box/cart art position on a few skins.
- Fixed a problem where setting the box/cart orientation was screwed up.
- Fixed the bug that screwed up Gilou's skin to begin with (too weird to explain).
