The ''FCEUX still gets recc'ed based on debugging features. These things matter for homebrew. As for Nintendulator, not a damn clue. [[gametechUser:TurboGrafx-16/PC EngineGoi~Yaas~Dinn|PC EngineGoi~Yaas~Dinn]]''' ('''PCE''') was an 8-bit system released jointly by [[wikipediaUser talk:NecGoi~Yaas~Dinn|NECtalk]] and [[wikipedia:Hudson Soft|Hudson Soft]] in Japan on October 30, 1987 and in the US on August 29, 1989. It was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|399.99|1987}}. It had a Hudson Soft HuC6280 8-bit CPU at 7.16 MHz and 1.79 MHz with 8KB of RAM and 64KB of VRAM. The CPU was teamed up with a 16-bit graphics processor and 16-bit video color encoder chip, both built by Hudson Soft. When it came time to seek other potential markets, the two companies eventually caved to a limited American release in 1989 under a completely different model and name: the '''TurboGrafx-16'''. The European versions varied throughout the countries, being the western version in Spain and United Kingdom and Japanese models in Benelux regions.)
The joint venture, formed in North America as TTINote that Mesen, made an add-while it works on called the '''PC Engine CD''' ('''PCE-CD''') GNU/ Linux, it'''TurboGrafx-CD''' ('''TG-CD''') that loaded games from discs insteads pretty awful due to a ton of stuttering and lag during gameplay, much like the Sega CD but better supportedeven with VSync turned on. The '''PC Engine Duo''' puNES should be recommended over it for GNU/ '''Turbo-Duo''' combined the add-on into the unit with more RAM as yet another failed attempt to relaunch the failing console in the WestLinux users (and NEStopia UE for its libretro core).[[User:Syboxez|Syboxez]] ([[User talk:Syboxez|talk]])
When it first launched in North America, the TurboGrafx-16 was largely seen as a failure blamed on poor marketing by the manufacturers. The PC Engine, on the other hand, was a whole different story, beating out the [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom]] when it first came out long enough to compete against [[Super Nintendo emulators|its rival's own successor]] and gave little focus for the [[Sega Genesis emulators|Mega Drive]] who was instead posing more of a threat to Nintendo in North America.== Some Issues ==
NEC planned 1. Can we cut the description of the FDS down to enhance a line and keep all the system furthertalkative bits about it under its peripheral subheader? I realize I'm guilty of nearly doubling its number of lines, announcing but that's before I read the "PC Engine whole page and discovered it already had a home. 2" . There appears to be a dick-measuring contest going on in a footnote between proponents of mesen and puNES re the number of mappers each supports. Can I just say each supports mappers the other doesn't or would that would later become be untrue? 3. The assertion that VC NES emulation is somehow accurate in any way (simply because Nintendo did it) I find highly suspect (considering what is known about their approach to other consoles such as the '''PC Engine SuperGrafx'''SNES and N64). HoweverCan anyone back that up? I plan to do some other minor edits to polish, it was rushed but first I wanted to a 1989 market in Japan lacking clear this up. [[User:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|Goi~Yaas~Dinn]] ([[User talk:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|talk]])  Pretty much of its promised features with only seven titles exclusively made for no VC emulator is accurate, barring GBA on the 3DS since ituses hardware, ending up and GBA on the Wii U is decent as well, due to being coded by a commercial failure to third party. Also would be binned and discontinued not long afternice if the FDS info was still on the page, just somewhere else. The '''PC Engine GT''' / '''Turbo-Express''' was a very rare handheld model FDS versions of many games were superior to the original hardwareAmerican cart releases, in the same vein as the Sega Nomad and it would be good for people to know that. [[User:Syboxez|Syboxez]] (a portable [[Sega Genesis emulatorsUser talk:Syboxez|Sega Genesis / Mega Drivetalk]]) I went ahead and finished editing and polishing. Thank you for your (somewhat belated) response. It did include some exclusive features like [[User:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|Goi~Yaas~Dinn]] ([[User talk:Goi~Yaas~Dinn|talk]]) 03:56, 25 July 2017 (EDT) == Adding ares == I've been adding ares entries to all the TurboLink multiplayer feature relevant emulator pages, but this one is protected. ares gives itself a 2/4 star ratings (used in games such as the flight sim called ''Falcon'' and ''Bomberman 93''terms of how many titles are playable, not actual accuracy) , so it certainly would not be a recommended emulator, but wasnI think it't widely supporteds still worth adding.I recommend something like this gets added:

===Comparisons===;[[Mednafen]]Note:Much like its other original cores, it does very well, even having two profiles: PCE-Accurate and PCE-Fast. Despite being CLI-based, a fork of an older version that has a GUI has emerged called pcejin. [[RetroArch]] uses the PCE-Fast core for its beetle fork.;[[Ootake]]:Ithandle FDS but I don's okay for general purposes.;[[MAME]]:Has a <code>pce</code> driver <small>(and a child driver called <code>tg16</code>)</small>. In all revisions it emulates, MAME reports it as working and t know the graphics as okay, but quality of the sound is imperfect.;[[MagicEngine]]:Unfortunately trialware that costs €15 euro. There are better options available for free.;NitroGrafx: is a DS TurboGrafx emulator for Nintendo DSsupport. It is included with TWiLight Menu++
