VirtuaNES is an open-source Japanese Famicom (NES) emulator developed for Windows by Norix. This emulator is notable for having support for several obscure peripherals that most other emulators cannot emulate. However, it is old and inaccurate (only passes 35.27% of TASVideos' accuracy test) therefore not recommended except for games that require those accessories.
