|NesterJ<ref group=N>AoEX is based on NesterJ 1.12 Plus 0.61 RM, which includes features like rewind, cheat code support, rotated/mirrored screen, sepia palette, support for rare mappers (the pirate bootleg FF7 works on it), etc. Its compatibility is inferior to 1.13 beta 2.</ref>
===Comparisons===
*[[Mesen|Mesen]] is a [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES emulator. Also, it is very user-friendly and supports lots of [[#Enhancements|enhancements]], [[#Peripherals|peripherals]], [[#Hardware_variants|variants]] and [[#Mappers|mappers]] that other emulators are missing. It also supports [[GoodTools|goodmerged]]. Latest versions require [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet .NET 6]. This is the most compatible NES emulator of the cycle-accurate variety.
*[[puNES]] is another [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator. It is deemed as the second most compatible NES emulator of the cycle-accurate variety.
*[[Nestopia]] also is a [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator. Nestopia has issues with [[Wikipedia:The_Young_Indiana_Jones_Chronicles_(video_game)|''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'']] and doesn't display the status bar in [[Wikipedia:Mickey%27s_Safari_in_Letterland|''Mickey's Safari in Letterland'']] correctly (among other problems). 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. Even the libretro core for Nestopia is the Undead Edition.
*[[FCEUX]] is a [[Emulation_accuracy|highly-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator and it supports lots of [[#Mappers|unlicensed mappers]], on top of this it's a [https://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources recommended emulator on TAS Videos]. The New PPU implementation is more [[Emulation_accuracy|accurate]] than the Old PPU implementation. The emulator is very useful; thanks to its robust Lua scripting and incorporating FCEUmm into its feature set.
*BeesNES is aiming for [[Emulation_accuracy|subcycle accuracy]]. Currently it is a work-in-progress, but it is already including [[#Enhancements|enhancements]] like; [[NTSC_filters#NTSC-CRT_by_LMP88959_.28EMMIR.29|NTSC-CRT]], [https://github.com/L-Spiro/BeesNES#other-features debugger, disassembler, assembler and various TAS features].
*breakNES is aiming for [[Emulation_accuracy|gate-level accuracy]]. Currently it is a work-in-progress and requires [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet .NET 6].

|The BIOS file (which can be found [[Emulator_Files#NES_.2F_Famicom|here]]) is required for FDS emulation. Note that there are two versions of the BIOS: one that comes with FDS and another that comes with Sharp's [[Wikipedia:Twin Famicom|Twin Famicom]]. They function identically despite showing a different intro during the first boot.

* '''.qd format''' (stands for QuickDisk): Only ever used in official Nintendo re-releases. Almost identical to FDS, except QD is a full dump with checksum data. May omit padding.
The checksum data in question would be checked at BIOS startup to verify the integrity of the image and whether it was tampered with, in which case it will throw an anti-piracy error. [https://github.com/punesemu/puNES/releases/tag/v0.111 puNES added QD support in v0.111.] As of now, no other NES emulators support the alternate, more complete dumps and fudging that check's result to always return a negative. To emulate a .qd imagewith those, stripping the checksum data with a custom script is needed.
