vNES Light beta 2 emulator running at 60 fps mode shows buttery smooth gameplay

vNES Light, NES emulator for Windows Phone, has been one of the highlights of work done by the community. In case you didn't know - Microsoft has banned emulators from the marketplace but that doesn't keep away enthusiastic developers from porting emulators to Windows Phone. vNES light Developer Nudua  is hard at work and has been consistently working to improve the performance of the emulator. Mango update has a direct impact on the performance of the application since Mango bumps the 30 FPS restriction to 60 FPS making gameplay 2x smoother. More after the break.

Developer has utilized the 60 fps mode to enhance the performance significantly. When we reported about vNES Light, more than a month back, developer managed to get fps to around 27 - 29. But with Mango update, as you'll see in the embedded video below, the game is running flawlessly at 40-50 fps. Couple this up with next gen hardware, exciting times ahead!

Here's MegaMan in action running on the new build of vNESLight :

Beta 2 is currently under closed testing - ping him on twitter ( @nudua ) if you are interested.
