Agreed, that is a big flaw since most of us are going to want to map gamepads. This emulator definitely needs some refinement, but it is very impressive and well on its way to being something great. Also, we need to be able to save our "per game" settings so we don't have to readjust it every time you want to play. I really wish TMNT3 would work too, but I guess the later released NES games support will come later on ;-)

Amazing, this is perfect! Thanks a million as you guys have made me one happy guy :-D I didn't even know that there was an actively updated version of FCEUX out there like that. That scanline mod is brilliant and works fabulously! I never thought I would ever see such a smooth NES emulation experience, but this is superb! I look forward to future releases too and will keep an eye on the progress. Thanks again! -Gamester

Yea, it was a hardware mod with a frequency change to the CPU via adding an oscillator... http://www.thejobbitt.com/nes-guides/nintendo-nes-001-overclocking-guide/ Of course some games that were very dependent on CPU/PPU frequency, like Battletoads for example, would break; but most games would work just fine at 2.5MHz and the only side effect was higher pitch volume... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHPXUosOeRc

Hey guys, New here :-) Ok, so first off, I love FCEUX and it has been my favorite NES emulator for a long time. However, there is one thing missing from this emulator, as well as any other NES emulator, that is preventing me from achieving total NES emulation bliss. I used to do quite a bit of NES console modding in the past and my favorite thing to do was overclock the CPU to remove lag/slow down in later games like TMNT3 and Kirby's Adventure. I found that setting the CPU frequency to 2.5MHz was a good speed to fix lag in most games without breaking them and it really smoothed out gameplay. I have been on the search for a long time for an emulator that would allow for CPU frequency adjustment, but unfortunately have never found one to date. So, since FCEUX is open source; could someone possibly make a modded version of the current release that either has the CPU set statically to 2.5MHz or has adjustable frequency? I don't think this kind of change would be too difficult to do for an experienced coder, but it is has been more than 10 years since I have coded anything in C language and I no longer have the tools or knowledge to accomplish this myself. If anyone could do this for me it would be highly appreciated and would make me and others with this wish extremely happy campers! Thank you, Gamester
