| '''PROS''' ||
 
*Supports up to 4 player simultaneous (Kaillera)
 
*It supports a great number of mappers
 
*Excellent connectivity, sometimes informally compared to GGPO's netcode in efficiency
 
*Basic chat support.
 
|-
 
| '''CONS''' ||
 
*Requires port forwarding
 
*The highest ping that it tolerates is around the 150ms mark, after which it starts to desynch very often
 
*It's slightly prone to freezing/crashing/BSOD, but to a much lesser extent than the multiplayer client
 
*Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version and save file. Or else, it'll desynch or outright not work.
 
*Chat box is an eyesore.
 
*You need to constantly switch focus back and forth between chat and emulator window in order to chat.
 
*You will hear no sound while the window is unfocused.

Nestopia UE is an open-source Famicom (NES) and Famicom Disk System (FDS) emulator written in C++. 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.

Overview

According to TASVideos, Nestopia is ranked as the fifth most accurate NES emulator, with 1.40 scoring a score of 82.3%.[1] Other NES/FDS 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.
