NES Classic Edition Launcher for Windows / Raspberry Pi ----------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone. Over the past few weeks I have started development of a new launcher for games in conjunction with RetroArch. I decided this program would be based upon the NES Classic Edition menu style since it works well with what I have in mind. This C++ / Open GL program was written primarily to be the main application my NES Raspberry PI would run on boot. Here are some quick screen grabs: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1GcDQ7WQAAUk7b.jpg[/img] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1GcGt4W8AAEiwJ.jpg[/img] There is a fair amount of work to do. Here's a checklist of what is coming: - More animations and transitions - Options menu is selectable and works as intended - Save state feature that is similar to the NES Classic Edition - Ability to sort games similar to the NES Classic Edition For download is a release of the most current build. I believe I knocked out a lot of bugs, but there could be some still left. The options menu DOES NOT work yet. I did NOT include any roms for obvious reasons. :) Controls for Windows: -Left/Right Keys: Select game -Up Key: Switches to options menu -Z Key: Exits the game and exits the options menu -X Key Or Enter Key: Starts the selected game -Esc Key: Quits the program https://puu.sh/t7KIg/670c74676f.zip Let me know what you think. Suggestions? I'd love to hear them. Thank you!

This is pretty cool, but I would like to have an option for V-Sync. Tearing makes it almost unusable for me, it's that terrible lol

I haven't personally downloaded it, but from what I can tell, this is a massive labor of love. If only Nintendo would put people like this in charge of their projects. They would have much better products that reflect the love that the fans have for their series.

This has all the aesthetic polish of an actual Nintendo product! This is extremely impressive.

Wow thanks for the positivity, guys! Yeah I didn't notice the vsync issues as I have my graphics card set to vsync system wide. :P I just wanted to make something look great for my NES I gutted and put a raspberry pi 3 in. Everything works on it including the power and reset switch! Also the original controllers and ports are completely functional! This is my f-u to Ninty. Don't want me to buy your NES Classic? Screw you I will build my own! Ha ha

Looks pretty good.

I'd like to request controller support, since that's what I'm mainly using when playing NES games.

Now this looks amazing! I may have to get me a raspberry Pi just so I can build myself a console using this.

The Raspberry Pis are just single-board computers, so one of them shouldn't specifically be needed. Any single-board computer should do the trick considering how easy NES emulation is. But of course, none will work until the source code is released (a Windows executable can only be run on Windows). I won't be using this (even excluding the fact that I currently can't, I don't do NES emulation anyway), but if I did, I would use it on an [url=https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop]EOMA68[/url] computer card. Then you can take advantage of future EOMA68 housings, like the [url=http://www.ubrew.it/]handheld game console[/url] housing someone is working on.
