'''Nestopia UE''' is an open-source [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom (NES)]] and Famicom Disk System (FDS) emulator written in C++. Nestopia allows graphical enhancements such as texture scaling and TV filters, as well as netplay support. The original project hasn't been updated since 2008, but Nestopia UE is a fork that is still active and has fixed several issues. It's one of the most popular and most compatible emulators around.

| '''PROS''' ||
|'''[http://sourceforge.net/projects/nestopiaue/files/ Nestopia UE Stable Builds]'''<br/><small>at sourceforge</small>
+
*Supports up to 4 player simultaneous (Kaillera)
 +
*It supports a great number of mappers
 +
*Excellent connectivity, sometimes informally compared to GGPO's netcode in efficiency
 +
*Basic chat support.

| '''CONS''' ||
|-
+
*Requires port forwarding
|align=center|{{Icon|Win-big}}
+
*The highest ping that it tolerates is around the 150ms mark, after which it starts to desynch very often
|[http://www.emucr.com/search/label/Nestopia Nestopia UE Stable Builds]<br/><small>Compiled by emucr</small>
+
*It's slightly prone to freezing/crashing/BSOD, but to a much lesser extent than the multiplayer client
|-
+
*Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version and save file. Or else, it'll desynch or outright not work.
|align=center|{{Icon|LiA|Vita|NX}}
+
*Chat box is an eyesore.
|[https://github.com/Cpasjuste/pemu/releases/tag/v6.7.1 pNES]<br/><small>Based on Nestopia</small>
+
*You need to constantly switch focus back and forth between chat and emulator window in order to chat.
 +
*You will hear no sound while the window is unfocused.

==Overview==
+
==Source Code==
According to TASVideos, Nestopia is ranked as the fifth most accurate NES emulator, with 1.40 scoring a score of 82.3%.<ref>http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref> Other NES/FDS emulators, such as [[Mesen]] and [[puNES]], have higher scores on these tests. However, these test ROMs don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So the test results may be a bit misleading, but that does not mean it is not a high accuracy emulator.

==Trivia==
 
*'''Name Origins''': Nestopia is probably a portmanteau of [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators|NES]] and [[Wikipedia:Utopia|Utopia]].
