Overview

Kachikachi is built for Linux, running on the ARM CPU in the NES Classic Edition. It has 3 video option modes, Pixel Perfect (8:7 nearest neighbor), 4:3 (nearest neighbor), or a CRT filter (also 4:3). There are 4 savestate slots, and the emulator has auto-savestate/loadstate when going to and from the game launcher.

The emulator uses its own palette, different from the other VC emulators. It also has some sort of film grain noise filter[2].

It has been criticized for having incorrect MMC3 emulation[3], incorrect audio emulation[4], poor A/V sync[5], and noticeable input lag[6].
