AntSnes 0.63 – Probably the best AntSnes release ever
AntSnes is a Snes9x port to S60 3.x. This is the best release since 04. Thanks to Mirek for testing ;-)
Changed in 0.63 vs. 0.61
- The “remember last ROM directory” feature was removed, since it seems to be causing serious issues in some phones. If the “last rom directory” feature worked in your phone with previous releases, then you can download the older 0.62 release.
Whats new:
- Battery saves
- New fancy icon
- savestate bug fixed. 0.5 users see known issues!
- Modified key config. All 0.5 version users must update the key config after this Release.
After settings the screen to the N-gage mode the user must set keys again, since the S60 keypad doesn’t know that feature. The update was made for E75 users, who might not have the d-pad mapped for arrow keys - Localization for: Danish, Hungarian, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian besides the English.
- Don’t like the localization? No prob. You can just download the English only package too.
know issues:
- Audio still sucks!
- due to a bug in previous 0.5 version the save/load slot places have changed. Try to find you own correct save slot. Doesn’t affect to users who haven’t used the previous version..
- There are still some issues in localization
Thanks for the localization goes to following persons:
- Danish 07 by: Jens kikkenborg
- Hungarian 17 by: Attila Molnár
- Indonesian 59 by: Antok
- Brazilian Portuguese 76 by: Rodrigo Carus
- Russian 16 – Chepelev Anton
- Polish 27 – Krzysztof Urbanowicz
- Bulgarian 36 – Lil Stenly
Did you want to make translation for your own native language, but missed AntSnes release 0.6? Don’t worry, you’ll get a new chance later when I’m making a port for the S60 5th edition.
Installation:
Just download and install.
If you got an error “unable to install”, or “certificate error” you might be having problems with the certificate. See my other blog post about two common fixes for this. Fixing self-signed certificate related problems
Video settings:
Video Renderers: A restart is required after video renderer has been changed
- DirectScreenAccess -Default, works in every phone
- OpenGL ES 1.1 – Renders snes frames in full screen. Requires OpenGL ES 1.1, so it doesn’t work in all devices.
Screen Orientatuions: A restart is required after orientation has been changed
- portrait – Default
- Landscape – Normal landscape
- N-Gage – landscape, but image is upside down. It’s meant for phones with “n-gage mode” like N95 and N96. The N96 can use the multimediakeys by default, but N95 users must use Magic keys to map keys 1-4 to multimediakeys.
Frame skip:
- Auto – continually adjust the frame skip speed to make your games play as smooth as possible
- User define speed – some games might not run very well with Auto selection, since the frame rendering might take longer than a frame time with audio frame etc. Feel free to test different options, if you wish.
Show FPS:
- Off – default
- On – Show frames per second on upper left corner.
The Video settings modification takes effect, when AntSnes is started next time( a restart required).
- N96 keymap
Audio Settings:
The Audio isn’t probably working. If you get it working, please post you config, phone and the game :)
Enable Audio: On/Off
Sample Rate: 8000Hz, 11025Hz, 16000Hz, 22050Hz and 44100Hz can be chosen
Stereo: On/Off
Volume: Adjust volume
Enable SpeedHack: On/Off. The SpeedHack makes audio render a bit faster, but it might cause some errors with some roms.
Key config
Start key config to configure keys. The multimediakeys are not supported in the key config, but you can use any normal keys in here.

Hey summeli…thanks 4 such a wonderful application but the 1 problem i try 2 tsubasa 5 n tsubasa koutoi afta setting the keys it just deosnt work…the game is running but the keys dnt work…pls help me out here…pls tell me a site where there are working snes roms for free ,my handset is n78
I cannot play snes game “Captain Tsubasa III” too. Hey, Bjorn, can you play this game? I can play Captain Tsubasa IV smoothly, but in CT III, it does not show the Kick off and the All stars choices. I don’t know what is wrong, ’cause it works well on PC.
AntSnes is a snes9x port, but it really suffers from some issues due to different compilers etc. Therefore all games are not playable :(
Thanks for your reply! I find out on Internet, a vSun user upload file vSun.cfg for other users to put it in E:\Data\Others\Vampent as a fix for vSun emulator. I follow that guide and be able to play Captain Tsubasa III on vSun. Before that, both AntSnes & vSun cannot play CT3. I think may be there will be a similar solution for AntSnes.
However, AntSnes have smoother graphic than vSun, etc. the same as we play snes on PC emulator. Therefore, I will wait for the next version of AntSnes.
Thank you!
Just some report, in my N95-2 (the biggest to small problems):
when I enable sound, it closes the emu.
start and select buttons doesn’t work for me (so, some games can’t be played).
when I open menu, and come back to game, no button work.
Please, don’t forget 3.x users! All I want is SOUND, but a working start button would be great. Another sugestion: you could add in rom selecting screen, a “page up/page down” function, like use left/right buttons to a quick access to a rom in a place with a lot of roms.
Thanks.
The Nokia N97 is one of the best phones that i have ever owned. It is classy but feature packed. ‘
I love .nes and .snes games, they are parts of my childhood. And now, Summeli, you are so great to let me play my old game on my smartphone (E71). I believe Antsnes is better than vSun/vSun plus. Keep your great work!!!
Help! I cannot play Captain Tsubasa III (snes) by AntSnes 0.63 on my E71 (hacked).
The game is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dmyzxmvfx0o
I can open the game, can see the introducing clip. But when it goes to the selection screen (which we will choose to Kick off or Continue the game), I can see the selection area (i.e. cannot see the Kick off and the Continue choices). I try all the keypad, but no work.
Someone please try if you can play this game on your phone? Then define the problem comes from the game rom (.snes) or my E71, or somewhere.
For your info, I can play smoothly game “Captain Tsubasa II” (.nes) using GPFce emulator for s60v3.
Thanks!
Help, please!
