<span style="font-sizeThe earliest games released on the Famicom suffered from significant hardware constraints due to the way the Famicom was designed:13px;">[[File:Nes.png|thumb|The Nintendo Entertainment System limited memory addressing (NES)]]The </span>'''[[gametech:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]]'''<span style="font-which meant games had a low maximum ROM size:13px;"> (NES) , how the graphics are loaded onscreen, just the native sound processing is an 8-bitavailable, 3rd generation console released in 1983 in Japanno saving... To solve this problem, where it was known as the </span>'''Famicom'''<span style="font-sizeNintendo came up with two solutions:13px;">.</span>

<span style="font-size:13px;">* The Famicom '''Family Computer Disk System ''' (FDS) </span>is , a Japan-only add-on which played special versions games from a semi-custom variant of gamesMitsumi's Quick Disk format. It featured an extra FM offered slightly higher data storage and slightly enhanced sound channelprocessing. It also had a microphone never found anywhere else. There were plans to release it in the US, however since the NES itself had its launch delayed to late 1985, which allowed and the mapper solution obsoleted it, the add-on was never exported and some of its exclusives were ported as regular cartridge releases.* '''Memory Management Controllers''' (MMC), also known colloquially as '''mappers'''. They solved every single problem above with bank switching for richer sounds much more data, onboard FM audio chips, and music than much more. Most games released after 1986 that really pushed the system to its limits used mappers. A similar solution was used for the Game Boy. Emulation for the NES is possible on the regular consolerobust, with many high-quality emulators for various systems.

Like for [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Color]], tons of NES emulators exist. For a list of open-source projects, see this [https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=nes+emulator&type=Repositories GitHub query].{| class="wikitable"|+PC|style="text-align:center;"

Unlike consoles like Neither the SNES, which natively generate cartridges nor the image in pure RGBBIOS has been dumped or tested with an emulator, unlike the Super Famicom normally generates and outputs an encoded NTSC video signal, Box (which must then be decoded by the TVhas had both its BIOS's built-in NTSC decoder. This means the resulting color palette often varies depending on the display's decoder. This is why NES games appear to have different colors on different TV setsand most of its ROMs dumped).

===Dendy===A pirate NES emulators are similarly afflicted by this issueFamicom clone which was sold in Russia and Eastern Europe, as they each have their own algorithms with the blueprint later reused for generating the NES color palette, meaning they all have slightly other Famiclones. Here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kne6AKyYUuM a link] to wildly varying palettesa CC-subtitled Kinaman video for more details. As such, there isnIt't really s a "true" very quirky NTSC NES color paletteoptimized for 50Hz, and which emulator has with many other changes from the "best" palette official PAL NES as well- through these differences often comes down to preference, or whichever looks closest to how break the real console looks compatibility of Dendy-specific releases on a user's own particular TV. Emulators such as Nestopia have the ability for the user to edit the color palette to their likingmost emulators.

Some arcade machines based on the NES hardwareMESS supports this console, and some other emulators (such as the PlayChoice-10 and the Versus series of cabinetsMesen, did generate a native RGB signalpuNES, however. The colors on these cabinets tend to be very vibrant and saturatedFCEUX) introduced support for it in r3134, giving games a very distinct look compared to how they would look on along with the real consolealready included support for iNES 2. Nestopia gives the user 0 ROM headers (including the choice to use the RGB palette featured in these cabinets, though it is not usually considered option to mark a ROM region as PAL Dendy). The cartridges themselves can still be played as long as the definitive or "real" NES paletteemulator supports broken carts.
