Unlike classic Emulators<\/a> the developers of the NES emulation programme \"3DNes\" have been reaching into their bag of tricks to create spatial background layers. Now, with \"3DNes VR\"<\/strong>\u00a0released an extended version for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. When you put on the VR goggles, you can marvel at the 8-bit classics of the 1980s Nintendo era on a giant virtual screen from various zoom angles. We have tested for you how well the paid NES emulation works in VR and what it is supposed to be good for.<\/p>\n

The principle of \"3DNes\"<\/h2>\n

While the Super Nintendo games had up to four background layers, the 8-bit console only had one layer for the entire background. Although Sega and Nintendo have already brought numerous 16-bit classics to the 3DS handheld, there are hardly any NES gems that could be converted virtually one-to-one for the autostereoscopic Nintendo console due to the difficulty of 3D conversion. With \"3DNes\", however, the programmers rely on an algorithm that divides the flat background into countless round vector objects. This means that the individual pixels are not simply stretched along the directional axes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Depending on the emulation, this looks quite impressive in some examples such as \"Super Mario Bros. An 8-bit \"Castlevania\" then suddenly has the protruding platforms of a \"Super Castlevania\". However, the spatial impression is not always equally good in all games. One can assume that the people behind Geod Studio, who developed the programme with C++ and Unity, have primarily tested the 3D algorithm with \"Super Mario Bros.\" so far.<\/p>\n
