Introducing the EmuMaster project:
The aim of EmuMaster project is to emulate popular consoles like NES, SNES, GB, C64 and more. I know that there is a lot of emulators out there. But what I saw is they are not so easy to use or lack some cool features. So I decided to bring my ideas to the world of emulation. I have started with NES but there will be more. The most important thing now is to let you know how I see an emulator should look like. I hope you will like it (if yes please donate). Sorry for my poor english.
Download:
emumaster_0.0.1.deb
Install, run and follow instructions
Features
- written entirely in Qt and QML (even cpu,ppu, etc. is written in Qt)
- modular architecture to minimize memory use (e.g. mappers are in seperate plugins) and speed up loading
- ROM gallery
- fast scroll
- you are able to create an icon in the homescreen, and with auto save/load you will not even notice you are using an emulator
- swipe is disabled by default – configurable
- support for game genie codes
- quite fast NES emulation – full framerate without sound (60 FPS) – will be optimized
- save/load gallery
- you can push two buttons on the pad with one finger at the time (e.g. A and B)
Todo
- I don’t know how to make icons in the homescreen removable – please help
- settings are not saved yet
- game policy
- currently when you click play new windows and machine is created, it takes time (especially when you click pause first time). In order to minimize this time I will reimplement this mechanism so only disk will be reloaded (it should be done this way from beginning)
- accelerometer as a controller
- mappers 72-255
- on-screen paddle controller (e.g. arkanoid)
- on-screen zapper controller (e.g. duck hunts)
- use accelerometer at the save’s view and rom gallery
- more consoles: GB, SNES, C64, Amiga, …
- net play
- want more ? want somthing sooner than other ? add a comment and please donate
Issues
- I know some games don’t work, if you find some and you want them to work let me know, I am checking constantly what work, what not but if you let me know I can prioritize it
- sometimes application can crash on pause – will be fixed
- found bug ? please tell me about it

Really nice.
games such as pokemon, the emulator does not save game data so each time you lauch the game, you have to start from the beginning again?
Hey, I copied contra rom to the emu master/nes file and it shows up in emumaster. but when i click run it say Could not load ROM file. Pisses me off… you got the answer?
Usually that occurs if its not a compatible ROM
Can’t run Pokemon Games (Saphire,Smaragd,etc) all other Games are working korrectly.
I have a problem to use the L and R buttons in the snes, i am playing Chrono Trigger. . .
