→Comparisons: After creating two tables related to mappers, I can now say this, until one or the other emulator increases compatibility.
===Comparisons===
*[[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, has good filters built in, loads both .zip, goodmerged files, etc. PuNES has a few mappers that Mesen doesn't support yet.*[[PuNES]] is the second most accurate NES emulator according to the same 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]] has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> 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 the aforementioned bugs. This is generally the recommended standalone version. 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"/>
