Nestopia Undead Edition is a fork of Nestopia meant to keep it alive and fix the aforementioned bugs. This version is generally recommended over vanilla.

NintendulatorNRS is a fork of Nintendulator that supports the Famicom Disk System, rare mappers, VRT chipsets, and many unlicensed and bootleg carts and systems.*[[FCEUX]] scores rather low in is not one of these testscycle [[Emulation_accuracy|accurate]] NES/FDS emulators but still it's highly accurate one, despite being on top of this its a recommended emulator on TAS Videos. The New PPU implementation is more [[Emulation_accuracy|accurate]] than the Old PPU, thankfullyimplementation. The emulator is still very useful, though, thanks to its robust Lua scripting and incorporating FCEUmm into its feature set.*[[VirtuaNES]] also scores quite low in the tests but, in turn, supports several obscure [[#Peripherals|peripherals]] that are not available on other emulators.
*For official emulation, there is Nintendo's own [[Virtual Console]] or [[L-CLASSICS|Nintendo Switch Online]]. The Wii has a significantly larger library of NES games to choose from than the 3DS or Wii U, especially from third-party publishers.
