==Overview==
puNES is ranked as the second most accurate NES/FDS emulator behind [[Mesen]], with a score of 98.08%.<ref>http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html</ref>. However these test ROMs, unfortunately, don't test everything that matters for accurate emulation (and in some cases, test stuff that doesn't matter for emulating any games). So the test results may be a bit misleading, but that does not mean it is not a high accuracy emulator.
Like many other Famicom emulators (such as [[Nestopia]]), it has [[Emulation Accuracy#Cycle accurate|cycle-accurate]] CPU emulation.
In addition to its high accuracy, puNES also has some nice, standard emu options, including a good input configuration UIand rewind functionality.
