PunchOut on pocketnes

Hello
I recently discovered this whole world of PocketNES .  The only games I am having issues with are Mike Tysons Punch out , and a homemade tecmo bowl game from Tecmobowl.org (uploaded) Can anybody anybody please help if there is any .  I cant get the Rom to run without garbled graphics . Is there any resolve that anyone knows of? I put the tecmo bowl game up for testing if anyone can figure that out.

Thank you anyone in advance (no pun intended)

Re: PunchOut on pocketnes

PocketNES still doesn't emulate MMC5 features beyond partial Castlevania 3 support.
MMC2 (Punch Out) is weird, since it wants to perform bankswitching in the middle of the frame on two sides, which doesn't map very neatly to the GBA's scanline-by-scanline rendering.  It could be done with Windowing, but would take a while to implement.

Re: PunchOut on pocketnes

You could try using a much older version of PocketNES, which has better support for Punch Out.  When I did the big rewrite, I didn't complete working on MMC2, but there is something there in the older versions.  Still glitchy though.
