→Famicom Box
The Famicom Disk '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System Nintendo Entertainment System ]''' (FDSNES) is a Japanan 8-only addbit, third-generation console originally released as the '''Family Computer''' or '''Famicom''', in Japan, on which played special versions of gamesJuly 15, 1983. It featured an extra FM sound channel, which allowed The Famicom retailed for richer sounds ¥14800. The console would be redesigned as the NES and music than is possible released on the regular consoleOctober 18, 1985 in North America. The NES retailed for {{Inflation|USD|179.99|1985}}. It had a Ricoh 2A03 CPU at 1.79 MHz with 2 KBs of RAM.
The earliest games released on the Famicom suffered from significant hardware constraints due to the way the Famicom was designed: limited memory addressing (which meant games had a small maximum ROM size), how the graphics were loaded onscreen, just the native sound processing was available, no saving... To solve this problem, Nintendo came up with two solutions: * The '''Family Computer Disk System''' (FDS). A Japan-only [[#Peripherals|add-on]] that played games from a semi-custom variant of Mitsumi's Quick Disk format. It offered slightly higher data storage and slightly enhanced sound processing. It also had a microphone never found anywhere else. There were plans to release it in the US; however, since the NES had its launch delayed to late 1985, and the mapper solution obsoleted it, the [[#Peripherals|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|mappers]]'''. They solved every aforementioned problem with bank switching for much more data, onboard FM audio chips, and 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 Famicom/NES is robust, with several many high -quality emulators for various systemsand cycle-accurate emulation possible on even moderately powerful devices.
==Emulators==
Like for [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Color]], tons of NES emulators exist.

===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.
*[[Nintendulator]] also is a [[Emulation_accuracy|cycle-accurate]] NES/FDS emulator. 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]] 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].
*MetalNES is aiming for [[Emulation_accuracy|transistor-level accuracy]], however it is a currently work-in-progress.
*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.
There are many other NES emulators not listed here, as the NES has more emulators than any other system (new ones are started all the time). Only those that are well-known or stand out in some ways are covered here.
==Mappers==
A key difference between many emulators nowadays is how many mappers they support.
* '''No mapper:''' Supported on every emulator, even official Nintendo emulators.
* '''Official mappers''' (UNROM, AOROM, MMC1-6): Most emulators, as well as Nintendo's Virtual Console (but not their GBA emulators), will cover these.
* '''Third-party mappers''' (Various: e.g., Konami's VRC6/VRC7) While officially licensed by Nintendo, they were not allowed outside Japan. As a result, for their Western releases, many games that took advantage of their features (advanced ROM mapping, extra sound channels) were reprogrammed significantly and shipped on the official mappers, often with simplified soundtracks. A lot of fan emulators worth their salt will cover these. With those, you cover the entire officially licensed library.
* '''Unlicensed mappers:''' Mostly used by pirate cartridges, often long past the console's official commercial lifespan. Only the most active and recommended emulators will even bother covering them in a whack-a-mole quest for every new one discovered to this very day. If you're not interested in '''unlicensed''' Chinese or Russian bootlegs or newer unofficial NES demakes, it isn't a problem.
The NES ROM information isn't sufficient to describe the cartridge and emulate it, so emulators have to include the layout and behavior of these mappers in their code. At the same time, the ROM header tells the emulator which mapper to choose. So unlike with other consoles, no matter how accurate a given NES emulator will get, it will still never be able to run newly discovered ROM dumps from cartridges that used a so-far unknown mapper. Thus, Unlicensed NES support will be inevitably incomplete and a constant work-in-progress, hence claims some emulators are "inaccurate".
Related to this issue: This is why most emulators won't run unheadered NES ROMs. Newer versions of Nestopia can open those, but they're handled in a slightly different way: the information that would have been included in the iNES header is instead provided in emulator configuration files that get summoned as long as the ROM's hash matches exactly the No-Intro dump of that given game (which is inconvenient for ROM hacks).

==Peripherals==There were many accessories released for the Famicom and NES but Emulation in General only covers accessories that are truly differentiated data streams from the basic controller. For example, the Power Glove is, in actuality, just a really complicated NES controller designed to convert motion into D-PAD, SELECT, START, A, and B button commands. The same goes for R.O.B. and his ''Stack-up'' and ''Gyromite'' games because he was really just the second player. Strangely, the Famicom has a lot more peripheral hardware to emulate than the NES.<ref>[[Wikipedia:List of Nintendo Entertainment System accessories|List of Nintendo Entertainment System accessories]]</ref><ref>[https://problemkaputt.de/everynes.htm#controllers ProblemKaputt: NES controllers]</ref> <div style="overflow-x:auto;width:100%">{| class="wikitable"style="text-align:center;width:100%"! scope="col" style="width:200px"| Picture! scope="col" style="width:200px"|Name(s)! scope="col" style="width:300px"|Description! scope="col" style="width:150px"|Game(s)! scope="col" style="width:100px;text-align:center"|Support emulator(s)! scope="col" style="width:300px"|Note|-|[[File:NES Zapper.png|200px]]!Zapper|An electronic light gun accessory that allows players to aim at the display and shoot various objects that appear on the screen.|''[[Wikipedia:The Adventures of Bayou Billy|The Adventures of Bayou Billy]]''<br/>''[[Wikipedia:Barker Bill's Trick Shooting|Barker Bill's Trick Shooting]]''<br/>''[[Wikipedia:Day Dreamin' Davey|Day Dreamin' Davey]]''<br/>''[[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]]''<br/>''[[Wikipedia:Freedom Force (video game)|Freedom Force]]''<br/>''[[Wikipedia:Gotcha!
