'''Xebra''' is a [[PlayStation Emulators|PlayStation]] emulator. It focuses on accuracy and only outputs in native resolution.<br />
<br />
It is one of the only PS1 emulators to include compatibility with [[PocketStation]].<br />

<br />
==Overview==<br />
XEBRA has an accurate core, but its audio/visual output methods are problematic. Motion can be jittery.<br />Fullscreen with multiple monitors is often buggy, while requiring you to set the resolution each time, as far as I know.<br />Aspect ratio control is manual.<br />The only scaling methods are nearest and bilinear.<br />The audio is crackly and poppy running full speed with default settings. Setting needs to be changed to fix this.<br />
<br />
The checkered dithering overlay from 16bit downscaling is much, much stronger than it should be. Far stronger than what a real PS1 on a high quality CRT TV over SCART would display.<br />
<br />
Then there's the interface. Even after you're used to it, it's still not comfortable to use.<br />
<br />
Note that the 19 July 2014 release fixes most sound crackling issues and games that used to hang during load, and there is a noticeable improvement regarding jitter on 2D games.<br />
<br />
==Problems and solutions==<br />
For those with audio cracking issues with Xebra set the I Cache rate to E, the default 0x18 is too damn high.<br />

'''Nestopia UE''' is a [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom (NES)]] emulator. Nestopia allows graphical enhancements such as texture scaling and TV filters, as well as netplay support. It's one of the most popular and most compatible emulators around. <br />

<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
According to TASVideos, Nestopia is ranked as the fifth most accurate Famicom emulator, with 1.40 scoring a score of 82.3%.<ref>http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref> Other NES emulators, such as [[Mesen]] and [[PuNES]], have higher scores on these tests. However, these test ROMs don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So the test results may be a bit misleading, but that does not mean it is not a high accuracy emulator.<br />
<br />
Like many other Famicom emulators, it has [[Emulation Accuracy|cycle-accurate]] CPU emulation.<br />
