I thought that this would be a good Poll, to look at all of the different opinions on the best emulator for NES emulation, which is IMO the most emulated console.

You could have at least gotten all the major emus on. It's kind of bad that NESticle is listed, but FCEU isn't

The poll list should include:

- FCEUltra
- Nintendulator
- VirtuaNES

And maybe even the other popular ones (even though they're kind of old) like:

- JNes
- RockNESX
- NESten


Personally, I use NNNesterJ whenever possible because it has more features that I like. But whenever I'm doing any kind of rom hacking or ROM testing, I go for FCEU. I would use Nintendulator, but it's flakey as hell on my computer. So is NEStopia (I don't think I can even run NEStopia without a slew of bugs).

So yeah.. Tossup between FCEUd/NNNJ

FCE Ultra. Definitely...unless you're running a piece of junk comp still that wouldn't be able to use it.

DOS-wise...probably still Nesticle if not loopynes...I liked those two a lot back on my old 200 w/ WIN98.

Your right, i did forget that one. I love it as well, especially the debugger. Unfortunately the edit script isn't on the server .

Nesticle is still good *IF* you have a POS PC. I'm talking 486 level here.

FCE Ultra... I've only played with it a bit but it's OK. I need to use it more. Nester is also good but I have so many NES emus...

At least it's good to see that there's a bunch of GOOD options available for the NES. Not like some other systems where one emulator has a monopoly.

My favorite was Nesticle until I got Windows 2000, simply because of its speed and features ...

Now I like FCEUd for its near perfect emulation and the debugger ... NNNesterJ does have more features and VirtuaNES also looks nice, but I haven't looked much at the newer NES emulators

Not a very in depth poll.

I originally used to use Nesticle all the time, and it's palette editor can be useful, but FCEUltra is by far my favorite now. And NNNesterJ isn't bad.

I was using Nesticle for a while, but switched to FCEU. Been using it since.

NNNesterJ is my main playing emu, mainly because of it's features. FCEU I use for debugging (which I am looking into further) but seems to not run in sync when the debugger is turned on. Nesticle... I only use that to find pallets for hacking. When I only had DOS, I used Loopynes.

FWNES was fun, mostly because of its memory editing features ... but it ran a bit slow on my old Pentium 200MHz (didn't quite reach 60fps, and there's no auto frameskip), and doesn't work at all in Windows NT/2000/XP And now VirtuaNES has a memory editor too ...

Its emulation, although better than Nesticle's, wasn't really the best anyway ... I remember it sometimes mixed up the square sounds (like using a 50% square instead of 25%) ...


Another thing about FCEUd is that it's the only emulator I've seen that runs Klax perfectly It didn't work at all in Nesticle, it was screwy in FWNES, it had a few minor graphic problems even in LoopyNES and NNNesterJ ... but I'm not sure about VirtuaNES, Nestopia and Nintendulator

I can't believe at LEAST FCEU didn't make it on the poll... weird... I voted NNesterJ anyway, because it's the easiest for me to use, with controls much like VBA's... although, when I downloaded it, I got a Trojan virus with it from Zophar's

windwanker, don't make polls just for the sake of making them Especially lousy polls that don't include the real emulators.

I use FCE Ultra all the time.

I use PocketNES for on-the-go NES gaming.
