Product Description:

RockNES is a NES emulator for the Macintosh.

It is by far the most compatible NES emulator currently available for the Macintosh, given that it supports full PPU emulation, full sound emulation (including VRCVI sound, used by some Japanese games), battery backed RAM, Famicom DiskSystem, VS Unisystem, and some 69 different mappers. In addition, RockNES includes lots of different video modes, as well as the ability to load and save your game at any stage. You can even record movies of gameplay!

What's new in this version:

Updated RockNES to be in sync with Fx3's new version for Win32. Note that RockNES now uses cycle exact emulation, and is several orders of magnitude slower than previous releases. If you do not have a machine of at least 1 GHz, I strongly advise you to stick with the previous version of RockNES.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

I have tried several codes from several sites on several different ROMS and the issue is the same. so far not a SINGLE game geenie code works! I remember not long ago (last year if not early this year) I was able to get codes to work, but not now.

Superstitious
This product continues to get worse as Bannister becomes increasingly money-oriented. His prices continue to rise, features continue to be removed/truncated, and he's even added harrassment. I don't have any problem with him wanting to be compensated for his efforts, but nag pop-ups and many missing necessary features constitute a "shareware preview" or something like that.

Bannister did not create RockNES. He ported it to the Mac. That takes effort, certainly. I applaud his work, but I completely disagree with his methods of earning compensation. Freeware is free. It's not about making money!
