IMPORTANT!
* To get Batman Return of The Joker working, press START on startup.
* to get Battletoads&DoubleDragon working ok, use 256 scanlines per frame, or
-spf 256 (Race Pro AM 2 needs the default value, 262, and it's mapper 7 too).

1) RockNES is slow on my computer. Anyway to speed up?
-> I will list some steps:
- Is the sound enabled? If yes, well, the speed won't be high...
- Are you using keyboard? If no, joysticks/gamepads speed down the emu...
- Are you using a VESA mode? It's faster than any other video mode. Try
VESA VBE/AF 320x240 (-vc 6 -vr 320 240).
- Are you running it under Windows? Well, try under pure DOS (*yeah!*).
- Try to increase the frame rate (default = 3).
- How many free memory do you have? Try unloading TSR programs and such.
- Are you using a PC emulator? :)
*-----------*
2) How do I use Game Genie codes?
-> It's easy. Type rocknes <your_game> -gg YOURCODE (with 6 or 8 letters).
For example:
// To test game genie 6 char code - SXIOPO Super Mario 1 Unlimited lives
// SXEZSKOZ Super Mario 3 Skywalker
Let's go: rocknes mario -gg SXIOPO
rocknes smb3 -gg SXEZSKOZ
You can't enable/disable Game Genie codes during the emulation.
*-----------*
3) My game has sound, but not image. Did you make a bug version?
-> This is happening with some ROMs which have MMC1 in their header. However,
if you change the mapper to 0 (no mapper) in the header (use a NES tool), you
will get the game working (like TwinBee, Yie Are KungFu and Excitebike).
*-----------*
4) When I run RockNES under pure DOS, I get the message "Load error, no DPMI.
Get csdpmi*.zip" and such. What is this?
=> I don't know why this is happening on some machines. Btw, just get this
ZIP in a good emulation site (file CWSDPMI.EXE or a ZIP file).
*-----------*
5) Hey, how do i use the emulator to play my games? Can please help put give
me a step by step instruction to do it ok? Thank you.
=> Uncompress the ZIP file in a directory. Make sure you've *.NES files too.
Just type rocknes yourgame.nes, for example, rocknes mario. Read rocknes.txt
for more info.
*-----------*
6) Wondering, I have a SBlive card and i have been having problems with your
emulator running. it works great without sound but with sound it locks... any
suggestions?
=> Under pure DOS (not a DOS window, under Windows), you need to init your
soundcard first, using a tool called CTCM which should be with your soundcard
software tools. Environmental settings DOES NOT INIT SOUND HARDWARE. Before
running rocknes, run CTCM (or something) to INIT your soundcard first.
*-----------*
7) Why Kid Dracula has no score around stage 5 and such?
=> Mapper #23 IRQ stuff is completly undocumented.
*-----------*
