MacFC English - 0.8.1e

MacFC is a Japanese Nintendo NES / Famicom emulator developed by T.Aoyama. This version is intended to be run in Mac OS 8.5 - 9.2.2. MacFC is different than other Mac NES emulators, such as RockNES and Nestopia. Here are some features that make it stand out:

• Developed specifically for Macintosh
• Runs full-speed on most any Power Macintosh
• Emulates a light gun with the mouse and cross-hairs
• Gamepad support using InputSprocket
• Runs many hacked games that will not run in other emulators
• Very accurate Famicom Disk System if you want to play FDS games
• Plays FDS NSF files
• Family Basic keyboard emulation
• Enable/disable each sound channel, and each extended sound channel (total 13)
• ROM / FDS image info shows various technical info
• Separate software/hardware reset
• Rapid fire
• OSD options (meters, messages, etc.), each can be enabled/disabled
• Adjustable sound quality / buffer size
• High-speed disk access option (and variable speed increments) for FDS/FAM images
• Pre-amplified volume control
• User-adjustable application priority level
• Different frame skip options for each level of zoom
• Full-screen mode

MacFC doesn't have:

• Custom video filters, such as HQ2X or 2xSAI
• Direct Game Genie Code support (you could still "burn" codes into your ROMs to use them)

I have converted all Japanese text inside the actual MacFC application to English, but I left the documentation that comes with MacFC in Japanese because I am unable to accurately convert that much text.

In order to use the FDS functionality of MacFC, you need to obtain Disksys.ROM and place it in the same folder as the MacFC application.

I am not legally able to tell you where to get Disksys.ROM or any other ROMs or disk images (FDS, FAM, etc.) for MacFC. If you ask me where to get these things, I cannot tell you. You need to find them yourself and consider the applicable laws for your region.
