*Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version and save file. Or else, it'll desynch or outright not work.
 
*Chat box is an eyesore.
 
*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

It is ranked as the second most accurate Famicom emulator, with 1.40 scoring a score of 82.3%.[1]. Only PuNES has a higher score on these tests. However these test ROMs, unfortunately, 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.

Like many other Famicom emulators, it has cycle-accurate CPU emulation.
