Best Firefox addon ever

[Iced_Eagle]

FireNes!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/display/7233

You install it, then just go to Tools -> FireNES and a list appears on the left showing every NES game made, then just double click on one and it shows in a pop-up window to play.

I used to go to virtualnes.com a lot, but this is nice because now I don't have to remember a website anymore

Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who loves retro gaming.

When I try to install it says it's incompatible with Firefox 3.

 

[Lucid]

Awesome.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Are you running an early beta, or a trunk release?

I have it installed and running just fine on Firefox 3 RC1.

 

[joule]

Hmm.. just installed it and any game I click on never loads. I just get a black or white window, and doesn't respond.

 

[CyberPitz]

Epic lul, nothing happens.

 

[Lucid]

Works fine for me.

 

[StardogChampion]

The emulator seems shit and sometimes doesn't pick up key presses.

Thread title should change to 'Best Firefox addon idea ever'

I rather just play them from my HDD.

 

[CyberPitz]

Still not woring \=

 

[Cavalry]

Worked for me, except I cannot figure out how to jump in Super Mario Bros.

 

[Dalamari]

Works great for me, playin some EXCITEBIKE

 

[Sir Phoenixx]

Works for me, tried Alien 3 and Metal Gear.

 

[CyberPitz]

I hate you all

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Do you have the latest version of Java installed?

[Raziaar]

If you want to seriously rom it out, use a real emulator and real roms.

I feel like playing some Defender of the Crown.

Capcom is soon to be bringing a new iteration of Bionic Commando. No better time than to try that out on the NES, if you haven't.

You can't jump, but you can use your grappling hook to pull yourself up, swing, and disrupt enemies. The gameplay mechanics are interesting, and will test you.


I'm really looking forward to play the new one when it comes out.

 

[CyberPitz]

New Java, no go. I'd be better off downloading the emu/rom.

 

[Ravioli]

lets all talk about how great and epic awesome this is to make Cyberpitz feel better!!!

 

[joule]

New Java, no go. I'd be better off downloading the emu/rom.

It hates us both.

 

[Lucid]

Bionic Commando is hard.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Nice, I found it didn't work for me either until I completely disabled 'noscript' if anyone has that installed?

Nice find.

 

[joule]

It wasn't NoScript, but after a few steps of logical deduction I had to untick "Block Popups" in Firefox.

So, Pitz, give that a try.

 

[Asuka]

Wow, this sounds kickass! Downloading.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

This sounds amazing Downloading now

 

[Cavalry]

Anybody figure out how to jump in Super Mario?

'tis impossible

[Cavalry]

Thank so much joule!

 

[CyberPitz]

Gotta fully disable NoScript. Bleh.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

It's the price you pay

Alternatively, if you don't want the add-on, just go to www.virtualnes.com, and it's the same concept.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Why isn't any of the keys working for this?

 

[Cavalry]

Which game?

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3.

 

[CyberPitz]

The keys work 1/2 the time...quite frustrating.

 

[Agent.M]

No punch-out!

 

[The Monkey]

What's a NES game?

 

[joule]

Nintendo Entertainment System.

 

[VirusType2]

No punch-out!

it's probably under Mike Tyson's Punch Out (the US version)
