Q: Why does NEStron's sound skip from time to time?
A: Set the Sound Buffer Latency (Located in the "Sound Preferences" Dialog Box) to a higher number.

Q: NEStron tells me "Mapper #xxx not supported at this time". What does this mean?
A: This means that NEStron does not emulate a required piece of external hardware that the game requires. In short, this means the game will not work.

Q: Why is NEStron so slow?
A: Emulation for any system requires a lot of processing time. You can usually fix sound problems associated with slow emulation by raising the sound buffer latency to a higher number (Located in the "Sound Preferences" Dialog Box). You can also boost speed by lowering the sound buffer frequency to a smaller number, and by switching to a lower screen resolution in fullscreen mode. Switching to "hardware stretch" in the "graphical preferences" dialog boxes will also boost speed.

Q: Where do I find games for NEStron?
A: I will not tell you where to find ROMs for NEStron. Use a search engine, and STOP ASKING ME!!!

Q: Why does "game ###" not work on NEStron?
A: NEStron, like all emulators, isn't perfect. Some games exhibit bugs, other don't work at all. This is just due to the fact that it was based on third party documentation and it was simply one of my hobbies during the last year or so. I have no desire or plan to try to develop a perfect emulator.

Q: Can you get "game ###" or "mapper ###" into NEStron?
A: Possibly. I could probably add a few extra mappers, but fixing games is a harder process, and chances are that I already know about a specific game's bugs in NEStron. Feel free to suggest new mappers, but keep the "game requests" to a minimum.

Q: Why does my gamepad not work on NEStron?
A: NEStron seems to be a bit picky when dealing with gamepads. This is mostly due to OS differences between Win2k/XP and Win98.

Q: Why do some game genie codes not work on NEStron?
A: Game genie support is still in very early beta stages, and doesn't work 100% correctly. Expect fully-functioning game genie support in future versions.

Q: Why does NEStron say I've entered an invalid Game Genie Code?
A: Make sure you type the code in ALL CAPS and without any extra characters (spaces, etc.).

Q: Can you please add ZIP file support?
A: Yes. Soon. Later. Arggg.

Q: Help! The color looks really screwed up!
A: Go to the "graphical preferences" dialog box and switch to a 32 bpp resolution. Then switch to fullscreen mode.
