*[[Mesen]] is the most accurate NES emulator according to tests.<ref name="mesentest">http://www.mesen.ca/TestResults.php</ref> It should be the emulator of choice for those who desire the utmost accuracy. Mesen is also very user-friendly and supports a lot of features that other emulators are missing such as: netplay, auto-updating, good built in filters, both .zip and goodmerged file loading etc. PuNES has a few mappers that Mesen doesn't support yet.
*[[PuNES]] is the second most accurate NES emulator according to the same these tests.<ref name="nestas">http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref> That's not to say that it will generate an absolutely perfect experience compared to actual hardware. PuNES also supports rewinding in games. PuNES has some mappers that Mesen doesn't support yet. Mesen has quite a few mappers that PuNES doesn't support yet.*[[Nestopia]] also has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> Nestopia Even so, Nestopia has issues with The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and doesn't display the status bar in Mickey's Safari in Letterland correctly among other problems. Nestopia Undead Edition (abv. Nestopia UE) is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive and fixes fix the aforementioned bugs. This version is generally the recommended standalone versionover vanilla. The libretro core for Nestopia is the Undead Edition in libretro form.
* [[Nintendulator]] and MyNes have a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/>
*[[FCEUX]] scores fairly low in the same tests, despite being a recommended emulator on TAS Videos. The New PPU is more accurate than the Old PPU, however. The emulator is still useful, though, thanks to its robust Lua scripting features and incorporating FCEUmm into its feature set.
