Current NESmaker Downloads
On this page, you can get the current NESmaker downloads. The version dates are listed on the right to help you know if you are up to date. The NESmaker Version contains the software, which your activation code can unlock. For 32 bit operating systems, use the 32bit link. All other uses, use the 64bit link. The core will be updated from time to time. To update it, simply download the zip and copy its contents onto your GameEngineData\Routines folder, replacing any files that need replacing. It is wise to backup any custom scripts you may have created or edited prior to replacing a core, and restoring them if needed. The Module folder link contains the latest iteration of modules for this version of NESmaker. Sometimes, a slight tweak needs to be made, in which case a module may need to be replaced. Also, new modules may be added. You can download the current module zip and copy its contents into your modules folder, overwriting old versions where applicable. It is wise to backup any customizations that you have made to modules prior to replacing them, and restoring them if needed.

Extra Modules
There are certain tutorial series and instructionals built around a tutorial module called Tutorial_4_5_x.mod. This mod may not come with all 4.5.x versions of NESmaker. If you are trying to access this module, but do not see this module in your module list, download this file. You may rename the zip file, as it will likely be named with a strange identifier, but that is optional since that will not affect the contents.
Once you have downloaded the file, unzip it, and place the file from the unzipped folder, the Tutorial_4_5_x.mod file, into your Modules folder. The modules folder can be found inside your NESmaker folder. Once inside, the next time you open NESmaker, this module will be available to you.
