The Famicom retailed for ¥14800. The console would be redesigned as the NES and released on October 18, 1985 in North America. The NES retailed for {{Inflation|USD|179.99|1985}}. It had a Ricoh 2A03 CPU at 1.79 MHz with 2 KBs of RAM.

The earliest games released on the Famicom Disk System suffered from significant hardware constraints due to the way the Famicom was designed: limited memory addressing (FDS) is a Japan-only add-on which played special versions of meant games. It featured an extra FM had a small maximum ROM size), how the graphics were loaded onscreen, just the native sound channelprocessing was available, which allowed for richer sounds and music than is possible on the regular consoleno saving...To solve this problem, Nintendo came up with two solutions:

* The '''Family Computer Disk System''' (FDS). A Japan-only [[#Hardware features and accessories|add-on]] that played games from a semi-custom variant of Mitsumi's Quick Disk format. It offered slightly higher data storage and slightly enhanced sound processing. It also had a microphone never found anywhere else. There were plans to release it in the US; however, since the NES had its launch delayed to late 1985, and the mapper solution obsoleted it, the [[#Hardware features and accessories|add-on]] was never exported, and some of its exclusives were ported as regular cartridge releases.* '''Memory Management Controllers''' (MMC), also known colloquially as '''[[#Mappers|mappers]]'''. They solved every aforementioned problem with bank switching for much more data, onboard FM audio chips, and much more. Most games released after 1986 that really pushed the system to its limits used mappers. A similar solution was used for the Game Boy. Emulation for the Famicom/NES is robust, with several many high -quality emulators for various systemsand cycle-accurate emulation possible on even moderately powerful devices.

Like for [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Color]], tons of NES emulators exist.

Mesen has quite a few mappers that PuNES doesn't support yet.*[[NestopiaNET 6]] has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> 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 (abv. Nestopia UE) is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive and fixes the aforementioned bugs. This is generally the recommended standalone version. The libretro core for Nestopia is the Undead Edition in libretro form.* [[Nintendulator]] and MyNes have a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/>*[[FCEUX]] scores fairly low in the same tests, despite being a recommended most compatible NES emulator on TAS Videos. The New PPU is more accurate than the Old PPU, however. The emulator is still useful, though, thanks to its robust Lua scripting features and incorporating FCEUmm into its feature set.*For official emulation, use [[Virtual Console]].

It did not seem Nintendulator that there was standardization until supports the next generation of consolesFamicom Disk System, rare mappers, VRT chipsets, and many unlicensed and bootleg carts and systems.

===Color Palette==={{Main*[[FCEUX]] is a [[Emulation_accuracy|Famicom Color Palette}}highly-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator and it supports lots of [[#Mappers|unlicensed mappers]], on top of this 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. Included with BizHawk as NESHawk.

Unlike consoles like the SNES, which natively generate the image *BeesNES is aiming for [[Emulation_accuracy|subcycle accuracy]]. Currently it is a work-in pure RGB-progress, the Famicom normally generates and outputs an encoded but it is already including [[#Enhancements|enhancements]] like; [[NTSC_filters#NTSC video signal, which must then be decoded by the TV's built-in NTSC decoderCRT_by_LMP88959_. This means the resulting color palette often varies depending on the display's decoder28EMMIR. This is why NES games appear to have different colors on different TV sets29|NTSC-CRT]], [https://github. Famicom emulators have a variety of different palettes to choose fromcom/L-Spiro/BeesNES#other-features debugger, disassembler, assembler and various TAS features].

==Peripherals==There were many accessories released *breakNES is aiming for the NES but Emulation General will only cover accessories that are truly different data streams other than the basic controller (input data stream)[[Emulation_accuracy|gate-level accuracy]]. For example, the Power Glove Currently it is just a really complicated NES controller to convert motion into dwork-in-pad, select, start, a, progress and b button commands. Same goes for Rrequires [https://dotnet.Omicrosoft.B. for ''Stackcom/en-up'' and ''Gyromite'' because it was just the second playerus/download/dotnet . Strangely, the Famicom has a lot more hardware to emulate than the NESNET 6].

===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 *MetalNES is pulled, the screen aiming for 1[[Emulation_accuracy|transistor-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% level accuracy hit detection, usually with a mouse click (PC), tap (for mobile), remote ([[Wii]] ports of NES emulators), or faked pointers using however it is a controllercurrently work-in-progress.

===Miracle Piano Teaching System===By the Software Toolworks*For official emulation, the 'there is Nintendo's own [[Virtual Console]] or [[Wikipedia:Miracle Piano Teaching SystemL-CLASSICS|Miracle Piano Teaching SystemNintendo Switch Online]]'' used an electronic piano keyboard as input. It is unknown if any emulator supports this featureThe Wii has a significantly larger library of NES games to choose from than the 3DS or Wii U, especially from third-party publishers.

===Family Trainer/Family Fun Fitness/Power Pad/===This accessory is very different from a standard controller of eight buttons. It was designed to be a controller where you need to use your feet, typically by running in place on numbered circles to represent button presses. It plugs into controller slot 2 and is 12 different buttons. Notable gamesThere are many other NES emulators not listed here, such as ''Stadium Events''/''World Class Track Meet'' and ''Athletic World'', utilize this accessorythe NES has more emulators than any other system (new ones are started all the time). Trying to use a standard controller anyways won't work. Despite being less accurate than puNES Only those that are well-known or Mesen, [[FCEUX]] supports this controllerstand out in some ways are covered here.

===Microphone=Mappers==Technically not a peripheral because it was physically part of each model 1 FamicomA key difference between many emulators nowadays is how many mappers they support.* '''No mapper:''' Supported on every emulator, even official Nintendo emulators.* '''Official mappers''' (UNROM, AOROM, MMC1-6): Most emulators, on the second playeras well as Nintendo's controller is a microphone and volume slider instead of having start and select buttonsVirtual Console (but not their GBA emulators), will cover these. One noteworthy game that makes use of it is the Japanese * '''Third-party mappers'Legend of Zelda''(Various: e.g. Pols Voice, an enemyKonami's VRC6/VRC7) While officially licensed by Nintendo, is destroyed if the player makes they were not allowed outside Japan. As a loud result, for their Western releases, many games that took advantage of their features (advanced ROM mapping, extra sound into channels) were reprogrammed significantly and shipped on the microphoneofficial mappers, often with simplified soundtracks. Another game to make use A lot of fan emulators worth their salt will cover these. With those, you cover the microphone is entire officially licensed library.* ''Takeshi no Chōsenjō'Unlicensed mappers:' (''TakeshiMostly used by pirate cartridges, often long past the console's Challengeofficial commercial lifespan. Only the most active and recommended emulators will even bother covering them in a whack-a-mole quest for every new one discovered to this very day. If you're not interested in ''). It is unknown if any emulator supports this'unlicensed''' Chinese or Russian bootlegs or newer unofficial NES demakes, it isn't a problem.

====Karaoke Studio====Separate from The NES ROM information isn't sufficient to describe the cartridge and emulate it, so emulators have to include the built-layout and behavior of these mappers in microphonetheir code. At the same time, Bandai made ''[[Wikipedia:Karaoke Studio|Karaoke Studio]]''the ROM header tells the emulator which mapper to choose. So unlike with other consoles, which is no matter how accurate a special game cartridge given NES emulator will get, it will still never be able to run newly discovered ROM dumps from cartridges that has used a microphone attached to itso-far unknown mapper. It is unknown if any emulator supports thisThus, Unlicensed NES support will be inevitably incomplete and a constant work-in-progress, hence claims some emulators are "inaccurate".

===Related to this issue: This is why most emulators won't run unheadered NES Four Score/NES Satellite/4-Players Adaptor===This accessory turned the standard two controller ports into four controller ports by plugging into both portsROMs. A few games utilize this capabilityNewer versions of Nestopia can open those, such but they're handled in a slightly different way: the information that would have been included in the iNES header is instead provided in emulator configuration files that get summoned as LJNlong as the ROM's ''A Nightmare on Elm Street''. Many emulators support this feature by having an option between switching between 2-player and 4hash matches exactly the No-player mode or just enabling/disabling Player 3 and Player 4's controllerIntro dump of that given game (which is inconvenient for ROM hacks).

====Data Recorder=VS. System===The [[Wikipedia:Famicom Data Recorder|Data Recorder]] is a related accessory to An arcade system based on the NES released for the Famicom KeyboardUS. Only three games and one accessory supported the Data Recorder; It was released in two different cabinet variations: ''Excitebike'Vs. UniSystem', ''Mach Riderand '', ''Wrecking Crew'', and Vs.

These games sent an analog audio stream through The latter has double chipsets on the keyboard to a cassette tape deck, but any device PCB and is capable of analog audio recording/playback can work with it. The "sound" is really just 0s and 1s to represent the data the games are trying to write. It is unknown if any emulator supports saves handling two different programs or simply two separate copies of this kinda single program simultaneously.

===ASCII Turbo File===Different from battery backMost emulators support games in Vs. UniSystem cabinet by setting up different DIP switches. But only the MAME, [https://www.mesen.ca/docs/configuration/preferences.html#vs-dualsystem-ups settings Mesen], NintendulatorNRS, puNES and the FDS[https://nintaco.com/faq.html#VsDualSystem nintaco] are suitable for games in Vs.

Neither Both the cartridges nor Famicombox and the BIOS Famicomstation are emulated by [[MAME]] and all of their games have been dumped or tested if they work with an emulator, unlike with the Super Famicom Box which had its BIOS and most ROMs dumped.

A pirate NES Famicom clone which that was sold in Russia and Eastern Europe, with the blueprint later reused for other Famiclones. Here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kne6AKyYUuM a link] to a CC-subtitled Kinaman video for more details. It's a very quirky NTSC NES optimized for 50Hz50 Hertz, with many other changes from the official PAL NES - though those as well. Though these differences often break the compatibility of Dendy-specific releases with on most emulators.

[[MAME]]/MESS supports this console, and some other emulators (such as Mesen, puNES , and FCEUX) have introduced support for it in r3134, with the already included as well as support for iNES 2.0 ROM headers (which include including the option to mark a ROM region as PAL Dendy). The carts cartridges themselves can still be played as long as the emulator supports broken cardscarts.

Setting ===VTxx===VTxx is a series of NOAC (Nintendo-On-A-Chip, a kind of chip that contains all the components of a Famicom/NES) chips that implemented multiple changes and enhancements compared to regular NES, manufactured by [http://www.vrt.com.tw/ V.R Technology]. Differences between VTxx series chips and regular NES could be checked on [https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/VTxx NesDev Wiki]. VTxx is often used in those low-quality, plug & play consoles or [[Wikipedia:Famiclone#Computer_type|keyboard-shaped]], so-called educational computers. :V.R Technology provides an emulator called [http://www.vrt.com.tw/download.htm EmuVT] as official development & debugging tool, which supports the "Family Keyboard" under "Input" might emulation of multiple kinds of VTxx series chips. It seems to be needed modded out of an old emulator called [https://web.archive.org/web/20110317151619/http://www.emulation9.com/nnnesterj/ NNNesterJ]. ===NES Classic Edition==={{main|wikipedia:NES Classic Edition}}The NES Classic Edition is a mini console that emulates the experience of the Nintendo Entertainment System. It includes 30 classic NES games and is compatible with the Wii Classic Controller and NES Classic Edition controller.Nintendo produced and sold about 2.3 million NES Classic Editions from November 2016 through April 2017, with shipments selling out nearly immediately. In April 2017, Nintendo announced they were discontinuing the product, leading to consumer confusion and incidents of greatly increased pricing among private sellers. Due to the demand for the NES Classic and the success of the Super NES Classic Edition console, Nintendo re-introduced the NES Classic on June 29, 2018. Production was discontinued again in December 2018. ==Emulation issues=====QD FDS support===Games dumped off the Famicom Disk System come into two major types: * '''.fds format''': Most common format. Ubiquitous in ROM sets (GoodSets, No-Intro). Omits some checksum data.* '''.qd format''' (stands for QuickDisk): Only ever used in official Nintendo re-releases. Almost identical to FDS, except QD is a full dump with checksum data. May omit padding. The checksum data in question would be checked at BIOS startup to verify the integrity of the image and whether it was tampered with, in which case it will throw an anti-piracy error. [https://github.com/punesemu/puNES/releases/tag/v0.111 puNES added QD support in v0.111.] As of now, no other NES emulators support the alternate, more complete dumps and fudging that check's result to always return a negative. To emulate a .qd image with those, stripping the checksum data with a custom script is needed. ===Overscan==={{Main|Overscan}} [[File:Retroarch_2013-08-16_06-32-24-62.png|thumb|250px|Example of faulty visuals that are exposed when no overscan is cropped. Note the blank blue area to the left and the green garbage on the right. On NTSC CRT TVs, these Famiclonesareas may or may not be visible]]Several NES games need their overscan to be cropped to look proper. Unfortunately, there is no standard level of overcropping. Many games require different levels for the best results. For example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_Bros._3 ''Super Mario Bros. 3''] requires quite a bit of cropping. However, the same level of cropping will obscure the letters of the status bar in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania#Games ''Castlevania''] games. ===Color palette==={{Main|Famicom color palette}} Unlike consoles such as the SNES, which natively generate their image in pure RGB, the Famicom normally generates and outputs an encoded NTSC video signal. This must then be decoded by the TV's built-in NTSC decoder, which means the resulting color palette often varies depending on the display's decoder. For this reason, NES games will appear to have different colors on different TV sets. To properly emulate this part of the NES experience, many Famicom emulators have a variety of different palettes to choose from. The Wii and Wii U versions of [[Virtual Console]] use extremely dark color palettes. This is apparently not an accuracy issue, but rather an anti-epilepsy measure. For the Nintendo Switch Online service, the games were directly edited to remove seizure-inducing patterns, allowing it to use a normal palette.
