pNES: Portable NES is an emulator for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is a port of nestopia for PS Vita.

The main goals of this nestopia port are:

  • Have a basic but user friendly user interface on non windows devices.
  • Use a recent rendering interface for speed and effects support.
  • Cross-platform and code portability.
  • Easy updates of nestopia core (no modifications to the original sources).

Features

  • Support save states.
  • Support 2x, 3x, fit, fit 4/3 and fullscreen hardware scaling.
  • Support hardware filtering (shaders).
  • Support shaders effects.

Installation

Install the VPK on your homebrew enabled PS Vita or PS TV.

Place your roms into ux0:data/pnes/roms folder.

The pNES database is built against the no-intro romset "No-Intro - Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System (2017-06-18).zip".

(Optional) To add preview images, place png files in ux0:data/pnes/roms/media/mixrbv2 folder.

You can download a near fullset mixrbv2 package (either in high quality or low quality format) here.
