For its time, it was a decent emulator. Modern emulators are much, much better, however. It is not very [[Emulation Accuracy|accurate]] due to needing to run on much weaker systems than currently available. Use only for curiosity purposes in [[DOSBox]].

*Its name is a portmanteau of "NES" (the console it emulates) and "testicle".
