Nestopia UE - and its predecessor Nestopia - are an open-source NES/Famicom emulator designed to emulate the NES hardware as accurately as possible.
Features[]
The requirements for the original Nestopia were considered higher than some of its contemporaries such as Stella.[4] In order to run an optimal emulation, the program requires a minimum 800 MHz processor. Its high requirement is due to its accurate emulation of the NES hardware. The emulator will play most ROMs and has a strong port for the Apple Macintosh.[5][self-published source?]
The original Nestopia allowed customization of colors, sounds, and graphics. It includes special features such as Power Glove.[4] Brandon Widdler of Digital Trends considers the emulator one of the best for the NES, though he admits that it has fewer features than its rival FCEUX.[6]
Development history[]
Nestopia was originally developed for Windows by Martin Freij. Richard Bannister and R. Belmont later ported it to Mac OS X and Linux, respectively.[7] Original development ended in 2008,[8] but forked into Nestopia UE. [9]
