SMB3 on a real NES SMB3 on an emulator See how the vertical bar on the left is a lot wider on the NES than it is on the emulator? Is there any reason why it's like that? I've only seen it that wide on the real hardware (not in VC games, not in hardware clones, etc). I'm sorry if this is a really random question (let alone one that no one knows the answer to) but I just want to see if there's any explanation to it. Thanks! -------------------- People who have drawn/sprited me: Me, with the help of NO Body, Me, with the help of NO Body (again), Cyclone Pwns, Ashura (awesome!) Want to draw/sprite me? My ref.

probably because emulators don't always 100% emulate the hardware

The Mega Drive also exhibits this behavior by having a bar on the right hand side of the screen that is the first colour of the first palette line... this is even more prevalent on PAL consoles by having bars on the top and bottom too. Long story short, the bar is suppose to be there, get your NES modded if it is that annoying. Also, if the bar is there depends on the TV too, some TV's preserve it, some don't. My Plasma keeps the WHOLE bar while my CRT clips off some of it. I don't actually know if you can even render anything in that bar.

Soiyeruda made me young again! Robby drew my awesomeness! All the people on forums I visit that have drawn a Flygon or Breloom. Guinea drew a Breloom Gato drew a Breloom Alba drew some sorta hybrid Alex drew a Breloom in 30 seconds Omnomlicous drew a Breloom I drew a Breloom I drew a Breloom properly Jazz drew a Breloom Jazz drew a Flygon OmegaK drew a Breloom Hybrid Project Alpha drew a sexy Breloom chick And a rather surprised Flygon Afti drew a rather strange Breloom No idea if I had any influence, but, whatever, HybridProjectAlpha drew a Flygon being eating by an Umbreon and I intend to sig it
