In Reply To All,
It seems to look better than the ROM using FCEUGX. I don't know what it is about it, though... here's what I noticed:
1. The game fits on the entire screen, in comparison to the FCEUGX which, even if you play with the aspect ratios and whatnot, always manages to either look wrong, or chop off a bit of the resolution (usually the lettering around the Score or the Block Number). I can't get it to display correctly. The VC game fits perfectly on the screen.
2. There's something about the choice of colors the Wii NES VC use... it seems... 'darker' than the emulator. If someone can grab the palette file from this I'd love to load it as a custom palette in FCEUGX. It just reminds me of the old days I used to play the game in front of the TV a while ago, not the squeaky clean bright palette the computers seem to use.
3. Music seems smoother. This might actually be inferior music in comparison or something, but it's got just the right amount of bass, etc.
It could be that Nintendo's NES Emulation code is perfect, or something... I too have HBC and have played CVIII and CVIIIJ (though I do not have ReTranslated CVIIIJ), but as a fan of the series, it's not going out of my way to support Konami and getting a $5 NES game.
