This is arguably one of the oldest, if not the oldest mature Famicom/NES emulators in existence. Its public formation started in ''Version 0.51'' on June 29, 1998. According to the [https://www.dropbox.com/s/22q3pxsjxi9fnn9/rnes554.zip?dl=0&file_subpath=%2Frnes554%2Foldnews.txt oldnews.txt] document found inside the official website, it was originally called "'''xNES'''", but was renamed to the current '''RockNES''' title on August 22, 1998, to avoid confusion that lead some people to believe that it was for Unix. The title was first seen in version ''0.53 Release 3'' (On August 23, 1998) the day after release of ''xNES 0.53 Release 2''.

'''[https://segaretro.org/DarcNES DarcNES]''' was another multi-system emulator for multiple platforms made in 1998-2001 by Alastair Bridgewater (a.k.a. Nyef), that mainly focused on NES emulation. Unlike RockNES here, it was abandoned few years after its creation.

Note: To test accuracy, you could use Acid Tests for CPC by the developer of Arnold.

  • See the CPCWiki Encyclopedia page for a mega-large list of all known Amstrad CPC emulators for a wide variety of platforms, consoles, other devices and FPGA hardware!
  • Old website for CPCE emulator (Page shows a small list of old CPC emulators and other lists for many resources. It shows that there was an old multi-system emulator called 'MulTiMachine' by Paul A. Hodgson, abandoned in 1998, but it is titled as 'MTMW' on CPCWiki's page. See old interview in French.)
