*[[Mesen|Mesen]] is a [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES emulator. Also , it is very user-friendly and supports lots of [[#Enhancements|enhancements]], [[#Peripherals|peripherals]], [[#Hardware_variants|variants]] and [[#Mappers|mappers]] that other emulators are missing. On top of these its supports directly from .zip archive and [[GoodTools|goodmerged]] file loading. Requires .NET 6.
*[[puNES]] is another [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator.
*[[Nestopia]] also is a [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator. Nestopia has issues with [[Wikipedia:The_Young_Indiana_Jones_Chronicles_(video_game)|''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'']] and doesn't display the status bar in [[Wikipedia:Mickey%27s_Safari_in_Letterland|''Mickey's Safari in Letterland'']] correctly (among other problems). Nestopia Undead Edition is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive and fix the aforementioned bugs. This version is generally recommended over vanilla. Even the libretro core for Nestopia is the Undead Edition.
*[[Nintendulator]] also is a [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator. NintendulatorNRS is a fork of Nintendulator that supports the Famicom Disk System, rare mappers, VRT chipsets, and many unlicensed and bootleg carts and systems.
*[[FCEUX]] is a [[Emulation_accuracy|highhighly-accurate]] NES/FDS emulators emulator and it supports lots of [[#Mappers|unlicensed mappers]], on top of this its it's a [https://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources recommended emulator on TAS Videos]. The New PPU implementation is more [[Emulation_accuracy|accurate]] than the Old PPU implementation. The emulator is very useful; thanks to its robust Lua scripting and incorporating FCEUmm into its feature set.*BeesNES is aiming for [[Emulation_accuracy|subcycle accuracy]]. Currently it is work-in-progress , but it is already includes including [[#Enhancements|enhancements]] like; [[NTSC_filters#NTSC-CRT_by_LMP88959_.28EMMIR.29|NTSC-CRT]], [https://github.com/L-Spiro/BeesNES#other-features debugger, disassembler, assembler and various TAS features].*MetalNES is aiming for [[Emulation_accuracy|transistor-level accuracy]], however it is currently work-in-progress.
*For official emulation, there is Nintendo's own [[Virtual Console]] or [[L-CLASSICS|Nintendo Switch Online]]. The Wii has a significantly larger library of NES games to choose from than the 3DS or Wii U, especially from third-party publishers.
There are many other NES emulators not listed here, as the NES has more emulators than any other system (new ones are started all the time). Only those that are well-known or stand out in some way ways are covered here.
