FireNes: NES Firefox add-on
Sat, 05/31/2008 - 11:04 — mario
FireNes allows you to play ~2500 Nintendo games without the need of an emulator or roms! We're not sure how legal this is and it'll be interesting to monitor how long Mozilla keeps this plug-in up. Head over to the official Firefox Add-ons page for this plugin and start playing all the Super Mario Bros games today!
Here's what you'll need to get started:
Firefox browser - If you're not using this, then you should consider switching from your current browser to Firefox:

For some reason the games
For some reason the games will not load up correctly for me. All I get is a black screen :(
Install?
How do you install the xpi file? I downloaded it but how do you get it to show up in FF3?
Installing a xpi file
The quickest and easiest way to install the xpi file:
* Launch Firefox (version 2 or 3)
* Find the .xpi file you downloaded
* Drag the .xpi file into the Firefox browser window.
* Firefox will prompt you to install the .xpi, Click "Install Now"
* After the .xpi file is installed, you'll need to restart Firefox
You can't change the keys
The default keys are as they are. But you cannot change them.
And by the way, your "captcha" crap at the bottom of the screen is absolute bull.
You're right, that captcha was crap!
..and has been switched out with a simple math question.
question
does it works with ff3?
FireNES works with FireFox 3
This plugin works fine in FireFox 3.
Quick Start guide to FireNES
For some reason, when the game starts up, none of the keys seem to work. After the game boots up, click anywhere in the game window, then press Enter - all the keys will work then. Below are the default keys. You can also remap the keys by right clicking on the game title, then choose Options.
Just FYI -- The default keys for FireNES are:
Start: enter
Select: ctrl
A: x
B: z
Use the directional keys to move.
