*'''LandyNES''' by Alex Krasivsky, which it seems became the base of iNES emulator. At least one beta version for [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#Intel_CPU.27s|DOS]], called '''Prerelease "Stupid" version''', was released to the public on September 8, 1996 with the filename "DC-NES.ZIP".<ref>[http://lngn.net/archaic-ruins/features/ar-dc/nes-emu.htm#lnes Archaic Ruins: Nintendo]</ref> This version supported some simple Mapper 1 games and had graphical glitches.<ref>[http://oldies.malban.de/firstpage/EMU2.HTM EMULATOR PAGE 2]</ref> Luckily on January 5, 2023, the emulator was discovered on the internet archive<ref name="LandyNES on Lost Media Wiki" >[https://lostmediawiki.com/LandyNES_(found_early_NES_emulator_software;_1996)#Discovery LandyNES on Lost Media Wiki]</ref>; it was mainly hosted on now-defunct FTP sites and none of the websites that supposedly hosted it were archived by Wayback Machine. This project was discontinued after the release of NESticle.
