- Compiling the source with -O3 gives a nice boost, plus another boost with -march=native, but this one will generate a binary for Core 2 Duo CPUs, I suppose. The -i586 isn't really a good general choice.

- Anyway, the emulator running in an AMD Duron 1.1ghz was at 12FPS using the 640x480 stretched blitting, a turtle. With a few tweaks and optimizations, it was boosted to 45FPS! A very nice thing if you ask me. ^_^;;

- Before another public release, I'd like to reach 60FPS in that machine, but sounds quite hard... I guess.

You must place them in the same folder (directory) you put the emulator, or navigate through the folders and find where you put the games. Easy.

See, the problem was that none of the ROMs I downloaded were showing up in the list and I had no idea how to get them INTO the list. I stumbled across the answer (or at least AN answer) last night. When I put shortcuts for the ROMs on my Desktop, they finally showed up in the list.
Thanks, though.

1. Run the emulator.
2. From the GUI, select File, then Load:

3. Select a file from the list. All valid files have the .NES extension.

OK, forgive my ignorance, but I'm pretty new to this particular emulator and I'm not a technical genius. With my Sega Genesis and Gameboy emulators, I can choose which ROM I want to load from the drop-down menu. How do I load the ROMs with the RockNES emulator?
I've downloaded quite a few games for myself and my young daughter but we can't play them!
Please help!

Thank you

I have recently downloaded and installed RockNES; I have also downloaded the Maniac Mansion ROM. I know which keys to use and how to change them, but after the ROM finishes loading and I am supposed to choose my characters none of the keyboard controls respond.
I tried to reassign them but the program freezes. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I doubt Fx3 would spend time on implementing that, as it would be game specific hacks.
