===Zapper===
This accessory was very common. It's a light gun. It was used for many games, such as ''Duck Hunt'', ''Wild Gunman'', and ''Hogan's Alley'', just for three examples. When the trigger is pulled, the screen for 1-2 frames flashed black with a white rectangle (the target to shoot at). If the gun detected it was pointing at the white, it told the game to register a hit. Real hardware, this was very hit or miss, and plugged into controller slot 2. It mainly worked with old CRT TVs. Newer TVs will not register with the Zapper. Many emulators support this accessory with 100% accuracy hit detection, usually with a mouse click (PC), tap (for mobile), remote ([[Wii]] ports of NES emulators), or faked pointers using a controller.
===Arkanoid/Vaus Controller===
This controller was a controller released by Taito with one button to "fire" and a dial to control back and forth movement. ''Arkanoid'' is the only NES game to utilize this controller, but it is optional. [[Mesen]] supports this controller.
===Miracle Piano Teaching System===
===ASCII Turbo File===
Different from battery back-ups and the FDS, ASCII Corperation (based in Japan) created their own method to save data with the [[Wikipedia:Turbo File (ASCII)|ASCII Turbo File]]. It is unknown if any emulator supports this.
===Oeka Kids tablet===
This accessory was a tablet for the Famicom games ''Oeka Kids: Anpanman no Hiragana Daisuki'' and ''Oeka Kids: Anpanman to Oekaki Shiyou!!''.<ref>http://www.ne.jp/asahi/oroti/famicom/ish15.html</ref> [[Mesen]] supports this accessory.
