Lesson 13. FACES. NES Games

Hi Dimi,

Nice detailed outline - thanks! Been wanting to know how to do this for a while..... Got the old Excitebike motorbike game loaded successfully.

Dimi

@jimit thanks!

Hi, how can I do that on osx?

Hi @cepics instead of using the espflashdownload tool you can use esptool from the mac terminal

download the github repository https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack-nesemu
install esptool from the setup file in the github repository https://github.com/espressif/esptool or
from command line with
pip install esptool
Navigate to the firmware folder from the nes emulator repository and execute the flash.sh file
./flash.sh
[NOTE] the flash.sh file should be edited with the name of the rom you wish to upload and that rom
file should be in the same folder as the flash.sh file

@lukasmaximus said in Lesson 13. FACES. NES Games:

./flash.sh

after executing flash.sh M5Stack start rebooting continously .....

lukasmaximus

Perhaps you ought to erase the flash first, follow this and see if it resolves the issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlzlFqkzhtI&t=37s

Why do I have inverted colors in my game?

lukasmaximus

@mumiytrol perhaps the rom you used is not compatible with the emulator. Did you try using other roms and did you have the same result?

mumiytrol

@lukasmaximus I used different rom, but there was such a problem with everyone

lukasmaximus

That's strange, I never came across this bug. Where did you download the M5Stack Nes emu from? from our official repo and which device were you using? and also how are you flashing the device with the firmware?

I also successfully followed all these steps and loaded multiple NES roms from different sources...and all of them have inverted colors.

I had problem about color too, I tried to read other LCD libraries to know why.
The easy way to solve the problem is adding invert color command to ili_init_cmds.
I hope it's code will be updated soon.
