Review

In addition to the standard color palettes used by most NES emulators, puNES uses a color palette derived from an actual TV. The emulator also allows custom palettes wich can be made here

It is ranked as the most accurate NES emulator. However these test ROMs, unfortunately, 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.

In addition to its high accuracy, puNES also has some very nice, standard emu options, including a very good input configuration UI.
