→Emulators: I counted what mappers are supported for puNES and not Mesen.
===Comparisons===
*[[Mesen]] is the most accurate NES emulator according to tests.<ref name="mesentest">http://www.mesen.ca/TestResults.php</ref> It should be the emulator of choice for those who desire the utmost accuracy. Mesen is also very user-friendly and supports a lot of features that other emulators are missing such as netplay, auto-updating, good built in filters, both .zip and goodmerged file loading etc. PuNES has a few mappers that Mesen doesn't support yet.
*[[PuNES]] is the second most accurate NES emulator according to these tests.<ref name="nestas">http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref> That's not to say that it will generate an absolutely perfect experience compared to actual hardware. PuNES also supports rewinding in games. While Mesen has more mapper support than it, PuNES has some two mappers that Mesen doesn't support yet. ; 116 and 208, so games like Kart Fighter and Somari are supported for it and not Mesen has quite a few mappers that PuNES doesn't support yet.
*[[Nestopia]] also has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> Even so, Nestopia has issues with The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and doesn't display the status bar in Mickey's Safari in Letterland correctly among other problems. Nestopia Undead Edition (Nestopia UE) is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive and fix the aforementioned bugs. This version is generally recommended over vanilla. The libretro core for Nestopia is Undead Edition in libretro form.
*[[Nintendulator]] and MyNes also have a fairly high ranking in the tests.<ref name="nestas"/>
