====<u>NES/Famicon</u>==Recommending emulators==GeneralPlease consider these while recommending an emulator: *Have high compatibility (and mappers support for systems like [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators|NES]], [http:[Game_Boy/Game_Boy_Color_emulators|GB/0ldsk00l.caGBC]], [[Master_System_emulators|SMS/nestopia.html#downloads NestopiaGG]])
*Offering useful [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?search=%22%23Enhancements%7CEnhancements%22&title=Special%3ASearch&limit=500&profile=default&fulltext=1 enhancement features];
*Be improved regularly--in other words, be active and, preferably, be open-source (I'd recommend using bsnes core not closed-source), as that ensures that any active programmer can keep the software in RetroArch shipshape condition and able to get around some less-user friendly implementations of bsnes)run on latest operating systems.
*[[Emulation_Accuracy|Accuracy]]-focused emulators are '''only recommended''' when they're have reasonable amount of compatibility compared to general-use emulators. This one should only be considered for [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|Homebrew]], [[Game_engine_recreations_and_source_ports|Game engine recreations and source ports]] and development/developer communities or users that just want to ensure they'll be able to play most games with the least amount of unexpected/unreported glitches or timing issues etc. (Do NOT use "preserve the hardware's inner workings for posterity" mindset for recommendation on emugen wiki)
