Forums - Gaming Discussion - FireNes Brings 2000 NES Games to Your Browser

Gilgamesh on 09 November 2008


Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): The FireNes Firefox extension integrates over 2000 old-school NES games with your favorite browser. Once you install FireNes and fire it up (either through the Tools menu or the optional toolbar button), you can browse the enormous library of games in your Firefox sidebar and play any one of your 8-bit favorites at the click of your mouse.

Alternately, if you'd prefer not to install another extension, you can get similar goods add-on-free at web sites like previously mentioned vNES or Nintendo8. Either way, use wisely; this is a bit of weekend fun, but let's not get carried away when the time to get things done rolls back around. FireNes is free, Firefox only, requires Java.

 

 

 

 

 

I just got it and I was just playing Super Mario Bros 3, you need Firefox and all you do is just click on Tools in Firefox, then Firenes and it should bring up a big list of games and click on one and it will bring up the game. (you need Java)

Here's the download link for Firenes: http://firenes.en.softonic.com/

I think you need a certain patch that happened to me when I first downloaded it then Firefox automatically installed a newer patch to when I open Firefox and it all worked, I'm gonna try to find a better download.

i would still prefer emulator, it has more features, and you can use controllers on them.

Damn it, everyone try this link http://firenes.en.softonic.com/ it's a older one, I don't know if it's going to work, but like I said at first it didn't work for me there was nothing that showed up (this was last night) so I shut my computer off and this morning when I turned the computer on I went to firefox and it said it's gonna install the newer version and I allowed it and everything worked. So maybe you have to restart your computer?

Check if you have the latest Java version that may have something to do with it
