Hope no one reads this, Im right now hacking on the source
to PocketNES for GBA by Loopy of LoopyNES fame.
20-April-1999
CoolNESs V0.76 is out now, I will now go over to state saving
and will use the same format as NES4PC and Loopynes.
9-April-1999
Fixed the looping on Noise (the Fireman tune in Megaman), also fixed some sounds in Metroid.
CoolNESs version 76b6 is here.
If no bugs are found in the sound, this will probably be the final v76.
6-April-1999
Another smal fix for the sound, Arkanoid doesn't have statics in the sound anymore.
CoolNESs version 76b5 is here.
4-April-1999
Added a new way of generating the DPCM-samples.
CoolNESs version 76b4 is not here.
3-April-1999
Another beta with fix for Bomberman2's sound and sprite settings work in Mapper #9 and #10.
And a little fix for the Noise chanell.
2-April-1999
As I've had no response on the last beta I will use this place instead to announce it
The new beta of CoolNESs was here.
If you download this you MUST tell me if you find games where the music/sound isn't correct.
4-January-1999
Much better(?) sound in this version.
Next version will feature inbuilt gzip support, there were still some bugs that keept it from being released today.
And at last Opera now features PNG support =) YES! just as good as the one in IBrowse.
And still no Nesticide or Genecide =(
1-December-1998
Here is a new version with (near) perfect emulation of Shadow Gate & Deja Vu.
2-November-1998
Sorry for the slowness, but I was too tired to play around with my computer yesterday.
Here is CoolNESs V0.72. Even a smal fix from the Compusphere version.
25-October-1998
CoolNESs V0.71 is released right this moment =).
Updated some of the webpages too.
Now I will continue with the continue/savestate function.
7-October-1998
The Amiga isn't dead yet..... Amiga OS3.5! is coming...
1-October-1998
Just updated some links and the NES-documentation.
Please visit the forum if you haven't been there already
16-September-1998
Will soon release a new version of CoolNESs...
Yes I'm online again, but it's not until next week i get my modem back for the Amiga.
And don't forget to visit the CompusphereX page.
5-September-1998
Hey.... sorry for the long delay, but I've added NTSC support and some more mappers and things to CoolNESs.
The only thing now is that the splittscreens doesn't work too good on NTSC...
Some minor update to the links page, be sure to check out tsr's NES archive and NES world if you haven't been there already.
Hopefully it will be released before next weekend.
7-July-1998
At last here is the fixed-up-souped-up-mega-cool new version of CoolNESs.
Ain't no quitting here!
The next 2 weeks I'm gonna have my vacation, perfect time to do some coding =)
Hopefully I have another version ready till 17 of July (1 year from the first release of CoolNESs).
1-July-1998
I'm not dead. And I still own an Amiga ;). But CoolNESs V1.0 won't be out in a while yet =)
Anyway the work continues on with V0.69 that will soon be out.
Mapper#9 and #10 are fixed (only small bugs on title screen in Punch Out).
Hopefully the shitment with games quitting when gfx takes too long should be over now.
My email address to my work is fredrik.k.olsson@europe.eds.com and nothing else, sorry.
The GUI-making guy's harddrive have crashed but the source to the GUI should be safe now, so hope fully all new features can be put in the next version.
I'll also try to include Amiga sprite support for the next release.
30-May-1998
What is this !?! What are they gonna do with our beautiful Amiga?
Put an Intel CPU in it? Where is the world coming to, what will happen
to Intel Outside and Power Up.
Who should one trust? Phase5 or
Amiga? Phase5 has the Prebox coming
out before Christmas.
But Amiga Inc. will have the new OS 4.0
Well... I'm confused.... But my Amiga is still there, so I guess nothing's
changed since 1996..
But you can be sure CoolNESs will be updated anyway, maybe even a PPC
port.
The Amiga isn't "Amiga Inc." it's the Amiga Community, us, the users.
17-May-1998
Back again =). I'm sorry for all the email that I can't read or reply
to.
But I hope I will find a way to fix this soon.
If you desperately want to contact me, then use fredrik.k.olsson@edseurope.com
There will probably be a slight change in the sound-routines soon.
just talked to Yoshi and he told me that the next version of his docs will
include very much new information about the sound registers.
But I hope you're satisfied for the moment with the sound.
The summer is coming along quite nice in Trollhättan right now
(definitely need a pair of sunglasses B).
10-May-1998
At last! A new version of CoolNESs. Only some minor fixes, sorry.
The reason is that I've just moved to my own apartment. And I have
no phone yet.
I've also changed many GIFs to PNG format on the homepage, go get IBrowse
1.2, NOW!
If somebody has a mapper#10 game, please tell me where to find it :)

I've just heard some rumours about a VCS-emu called CoolBox...
It should be ready for release pretty soon I think.
But I don't know if it's only rumours.
29-March-1998
Only for you, PCM samples on CoolNESs!
I will try to show up on AmiTech98
in Stockholm next weekend, at least on saturday.
Don't now when next version will be released, must find something to
add ;)
25-March-1998
How supercool the samples on SMB3 sounds!!! =)
Not to mention KungFu ;)
22-March-1998
I hope this release can prove what can be done on a simple Amiga :-)
But there is no rest for the wicked, hopefully more things next weekend.
18-March-1998
Splitscreen works better than Expected =).
Some more mappers will probably be added too.
Next version is scheduled to be released on sunday 22.
4-March-1998
How silly of me, Mapper#4 is a wuss. Fixed thanks to xTs of WarD.
After the fix I haven't found one game that doesn't start.
SMB3 is now playable at last =).
Can't promise splitscreen for this release, sorry.
2-March-1998
This version (V0.63) has no splitscreen, but the next version will.
The graphic-routines are rewritten to be able to handle splitscreen.
Just wait a week or two.
26-February-1998
Hope you enjoy the latest version of CoolNESs,
right now the graphic-routines are given a really needed refresh
to allow for splitscreens and scrolling with no flicker =)
There will probably be some more mappers too.
Bought a Zapper today to analyse and test some theories, hopefully
Zapper-emulation using the mouse will be available in a not so far
away release.
16-February-1998
I'm sorry for this hasty release, but I hope you like it anyway.
A new version with some fixes for the GUI is coming soon.
10-February-1998
The new CPU-core is ready to ROCK.
Contra runs full frame rate on my 030/25!
5-February-1998
CastleVania3, the game starts but show corrupted graphics.
All graphics in Splatter House is OK.
4-February-1998
He he he, CastleVania3 starts and Logo shows up correct.
Started on Mapper#19 (Splatter House), also starts.
Added Mapper#34 (3D WorldRunner).
Have refined the soundroutines.
Fixed with mapper#9 (Punch Out).
Expect a new version in the next week.
16-January-1998
Sorry for not updating this page in a while, I've been really busy
moving and all the weekends.
But now I'm back online, the computer is installed where I can sit
comfortable and code.
I've begun my new work, I've updated the sound-routines, started on
the new CPU-core and got a new version of the GUI.
So it doesn't stand still even if seem so.
