It's no fun till nofrendo is running!

from ladyada "we had a lot of success with our retro-go port (even submitted a PR) and now we've got the NES emulator 'nofrendo' working. we're reaaaaally familiar with this emulator, having ported it to the SAMD51 a few years ago (see https://learn.adafruit.com/nes-emulator-for-arcada for deets). its a fairly portable emulator that can run many games. we popped in a micro SD card with a bunch of roms and had a go at playing some of our fav NES games: kid icarus, arkanoid, tetris and of course dragon warrior - which was the first rpg game i played on a console and was totally amazing (and paved the way for jrpgs like final fantasy, xenogears, legend of gaia, etc) i still think about farming those steel slimes... anyways! since the ips 1.3" tft is 240x240 pixels it does a pretty good job of being smol but fitting the 256x240 native resolution. you can either scale the output, or drop some pixels on the left and right. with audio and playback working this may the the smallest pixel-perfect nes gaming emulator ever made :) " #adafruit #nofrendo #retro Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
