Mention Mesen2 in the comparisons section
===Comparisons===
*[[Mesen]] is the most accurate NES emulator according to currently established NES test ROM suites.<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; [[Texture_packs|HD packs]], [[netplay]], auto-updating, [[Shaders and filters|good built-in filters]], both .zip and [[GoodTools|goodmerged]] file loading, etc. The standalone emulator has ceased development around October 2020 for unknown reasons, but the [https://github.com/libretro/Mesen libretro] and [https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/Mesen-X NovaSquirrel's fork] forks are still active. The original developer resumed development in March 2021 with multi-system emulator [https://github.com/SourMesen/Mesen2 Mesen2].
*[[puNES]] is the second most accurate NES/FDS emulator, according to a separate test battery run by the TASVideos community.<ref name="nestas">http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref>
*[[Nestopia]] also has a high ranking in those same tests.<ref name="nestas"/> Even so, Nestopia has issues with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Indiana_Jones_Chronicles_(video_game) ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles''] and doesn't display the status bar in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 in the Undead Edition.
