Overclocks the emulated PPU by adding dummy scanlines, giving the game more time to execute per frame. OVERCLOCK (UNSTABLE) nes.fceumm_overclockingĮnhancement. ⇒ Low Low, High High, Very High Very High. If you're on at least a Pi 2 or higher this shouldn't matter. Very High is nearly cycle-accurate, but has substantially higher requirements than the other settings. Low is good for most games, but those that run at lower clocks (like PAL games) sound terrible on this.

You can use Batocera's or RetroArch's preset shaders instead.

Some games only have garbage on the top/bottom or the sides of the screen, others have none whatsoever. This setting crops out the border to simulate the same effect. Therefore, some games display “garbage” pixels here that aren't intended to be seen. The NES outputs an image that is larger than what would have been displayed on the typical CRT TVs used during the time period. Enabling it has no ill effect in most games but is less accurate to the original hardware. The NES has an 8 sprite limit per line, when this is exceeding the remaining sprites are flickered between (or sometimes just don't show up at all!) This setting removes that limit.

Settings that apply to all systems this core supports The default theme, Carbon, supports switching between regions in its theme settings in the case that you'd prefer to see the Famicom design instead of the NES design on the system list.

Many Famicom disk-only games were ported to cartridge form for their US release. Since the NES had a delayed release, it included additional mapping hardware negating the need for the add-on, albeit without the sound enhancements.

These discs commonly featured enhanced sound capabilities and the ability to save the game data, as opposed to using passwords to resume progress. The original Famicom had the Family Computer Disk System add-on released for it a few years after its release which allowed playback of games on higher capacity discs.

Arguably the first majorly successful video game console after the North American video game crash of '83 probably why it looks more like a VCR than a console. It was redesigned as the NES and released two years later in the US, retailing for $179.99. The Nintendo Entertainment System, known as the Nintendo Famicom in Japan with a radically different design, is an 8-bit third-generation video game console released by Nintendo in Japan in 1983.
