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.

Update: The AntSnes is not currently working with 5th edition devices, but the next release will be for the 5th edition. In the meanwhile see my blog post The future of AntSnes
Is there any “work-in-progress” pics (S60 5th edition) you could upload, or have you even started the development yet?
I have started the development. It shouldn’t be too much work, but the TRK (on device debugging SW) doesn’t work with my N97, so it’s slowing me down. I really don’t enjoy working a file logger, so I have been slacking. I’m kind of waiting the next 2.0 firmware and hoping that the debugging would finally work with that.
I have pretty much implemented all components required. It’s just matter of integration and debugging. Hopefully I’ll be able to release it soon…
SUMMELI
you say that apps run slow in nokia n97, and you are waiting n97 20.0.005 firmware but you can work in antsnes 5th n97 version ok,
this link i think help you: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-java-runtime-20-for-s60
regards
WTF. I don’t use java. And the problem isn’t that the emulator is slow. I just can’t use the debugger that works with N95 and N96, which both are good phones for development, unlike the N97. No debugger –> Development is slow.
ok, and ask permission vampent so they let you improve your emulator vsun 1.11??? try it in nokia n97
http://rapidshare.com/files/290337899/supernintendo.rar
you could get this emulator and improve it, if you give your permission vampent, if you can not adapt your emulator to 5 edition , look this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-dMRr20Ro4
I didn’t say that I can’t adapt my emulator to 5th edition. It’s coming. I just have other thing in life besides the AntSnes development (so it’s taking a while). The antsnes source is available, so anyone can continue with the 5th edition port, if they are interested about it.
Is it possible press 3 keys at same time?
If not, would be nice if you implement this function.
At moment i’m stucked because can’t press 3 keys simultaneously.
on chrono trigger?-)
It should be possible. It works for me.
hahah, exactly!
I need press L+R+A to access that computer.
Tried a lot of key combinations without success.
I’m running in a Nokia N95-2 8GB.
Do you suggest something?
well, just press three keys at the same time :) it should work. there’s no limitation for that.
er..
unfortunally dsn’t work.
at least on my Nokia N95-2 :\
Well i got stuck also on vampent’s vsun and antsnes on N95, only work around back then was to put the save game from vsun to my pc and load it with snes9x, they source is from them :) rename file ofc is needed so they can see and load the saves.
Damn everybody know what your problem is when you say you cant press 3 buttoms at the same time :)
I understand,don’t worry be happy, i don’t wish any problem with you, ok, i am only a player
First off thanks a lot for this awesome emulator, Summeli.
I tried on my E71 last night. It worked like a charm (with sound disabled).
I’ve got one question though. Does the save file compatible with the Snes9X PC version? If so where is the file located on the phone?
I’d like to be able to play back the game with Snes9X on the PC when I’m at home and play through AntSnes when I’m outside.
Cheers.
hi Summeli,
this are great news. very great. the ANTSNES come to S60 V5. You are the best. But not as a player ;-).
i see the Video. Really great. And big thanks. I hope the emu run on I8910 too.
Thomas
I don’t have a I8910 to test antsnes with, but I’m adding controls for the touch screen too, so it should work :)
yes i think it works on my i8910 too. the most important thing is touch control. because the i8910 have not enough keys and your emu have touch control. its great. When the emu is available i test it on my i8910. i hope it comes soon. ;-) but one question yet. Runs the sound on the N 97?
thomas
[...] certificate in the last AntSnes 0.63 release got old, so I updated the certificates. The sis files should work again, cheers! Share this [...]
10 years?
the new cert, yes :)
[...] file for 5th edition: AntSnes_v070.sis (0) The S60 3rd edition should still use the old AntSnes 0.63 [...]
Ok, first great job!!! I have wait so long for it and now it is here. ;-)
I have a i8910 and i test the emu immediately.
And now the Problems
1. the sound don´t work, but you say the sound works not yet.
2. two buttons are fail. the select button and the start button.
3. wehn i jump i must press an other button before i can jump again. this Problem is by any button. but addicted from the side. (left the course buttons and right the buttons jump, shoot, …) It means when i press the jump button i can not press a rudder button and then jump again. I must press a button on the left side befor i can jump again.
4. When i press the forward button at once the figur run forward through i press one of the other course button.
This are my Problems, but the emu look realy great. and the menü is great too. ingenious work. ;-)
By solve this Problems i will help with.
Thomas
Hi! This is I, again. Maybe the question that I will ask you makes you angry, but… I have s60.3 N73Me. And a question is. Will be any updates for s60? It doesnt matter then: in this month or next year. I will wait. Simply say It will? Is it possible someday? Because if you bought N97 you probably sold your N96 that means this is death for new version of Antsnes for s 60.3.
Please, answer. And, again, sorry for my english. :)
Of cource. Thank you for your work!
I still have the N96 :) I not making any promises for the new release, but if I somehow see an easy way to improve the audio, it will come for the 3rd edition devices too.
It will be great! But speed on N73Me (CPU 220mh) will be bad. I had to turn off sound to have a normal work of emulator.
If someday you will try to update AntSNES try to make lowest CPU depends.
I think it will be very hard but can you try? Only try.
Better buy new phone. I want to buy N95-8 at spring or summer. How do you think, Has he a good capabilities with AntSnes, gp…(forgot. Your emu of GBA) and (if somedays it will be port) emulator of PSOne?
Never give promisses and never foget about real life.
Almost forgot. Tales of Fantasy goes well and only on your emulator (vSun is crashes in menu, had to reboot the phone), Breath of Fire 2, Front Mission, Der Langrisser, Chrono Trigger works good, but litle slower.
Thanks for all. :)

I think you will understand all. You can use this icon anyhow. Thanks again. :)
P.S. Caps OFF (Acsess to file sistem) => Change original icon => Reboot the phone.
(if you would like I can write somethink, but it can looks smoothly. Screen is small :)
Thanks for the icon. It looks really nice.
Good morning!
Bahamot Lagoon and Star Ocean is not working :(
And there are many other emu here
http://ffforever.info/index.cgi?act=emulation
Maybe it will be useful (especialy visual gba). Maybe you should port him instead gp.. that you porting now, or you may use some codes and algoritms. And there is another snes emu (not snes9x).
Thanks. And answer on my question in your profile (category ‘about’).
Good night.
The audio doesn’t work in my Nokia N73 RM-132 with version 0.63, the graphics are distorted strangely and in some emulated games keys don’t work, even if run with an acceptable frame rate and playable.
I hope this helps for the emulator debugging.
Thanks.
Ty for the antsnes , great software … but in my N85 the key setting doesnt work .. i set every key ok , but don’t work at the game , when i try to start a game , nothing happen ,beside that , the game works fine “without sound” ..
i tryed everything to fixed the key issue ,any idea ?
ty ..
you are probably running super mario allstars or some other game that doesn’t really work :) Just take some other game and the keys will work :)
Could you make this emulator little more light so it would work much smoother? When I play the movement aint that smooth even if my phone should easily run it smooth.
Is there any problem with super mario?
Wow!
That emulator is GREAT!! That project is better than VSun from Vampent. All games work fine on frameskip 2-3, and on OpenGL ES 1.1 setting.
But i found some problems on my N95.
1- when i change video settings (frameskip) game freeze and i must exit and open it again.
2- sound, still dnt work at all, when i enable sound my phone said “not enough memory, exit some app and try again”.
3- Fire Emblem dsnt work at all :((
4- Some games work too slow but its playable. :)
Where will be new version of emulator? I waiting for it. :)
Holy cow!
This emulator is awesome. It is way way better than vsun… Will you still upgrade the emulator for s60v3? Can you add more screen size like a full screen view in the direct mode….. ? Well.. Good luck to you! you really did a good job here! I am using a N95-1 by the way and the problems are the same as IVAN… I think the small ram of N95-1 (55.9mb) is the reason of the sound problem, cOmpared to the ram of N95-2(8gb) which is 128 MB….
Thanks Summeli, you are great!
Any chance that Chrono Trigger will ever work on a s60v3 phone like my nokia e75 in full speed with sound on? I would like to know if I should keep my hopes up.
Thanks
Well, full speed like 60FPS is not going to happen, since the phone can render only ~30fps at best. I’m always focusing on the phone that I’m currently using. I’m using N97 now, so that’s my priority :)
But all my sources are open, so anyone can take my Qt version and make that port. Most of the required stuff is already in there :) you would only have to design different settings views.
Just wondering – what do you perceive is the problem with the sound?
Great work so far – thanks!
help.heeelp!Any chance for making a antisnes for uiq3.this will be a good dream for me that play my childhood games in my w960.will my appetite come true or i must put out my lovely w960.
