==Overview==
The latest QuickNES emulator made by Christopher Snowhill (AKA 'kode54') is a fast and heavily modified variant of the code originally made in 2003-2005 by Shay Green (aka 'Blargg' on [http://blargg.8bitalley.com/ his website] or 'gblargg' on GitHub). Chris added his own open-source Windows front-end to his QuickNES core. 'Blargg' is the one who developed the strident [[GB/C_Tests|emulation accuracy tests]] for many emulators striving to simulate the [[Game_Boy/Game_Boy_Color_emulators|Game Boy and GB Color]] hardware as closely as possible. He also created his own [[Shaders_and_Filters#NTSC_Filters|NTSC Filters]], which replicate the analog signals that the consoles output to the TV, and has been used in [[NTSC_Filters#Emulators|many emulators for the NES, SNES and 2D Sega consoles (SMS & GG)]].

Christopher Snowhill's core of QuickNES, that was first uploaded to GitHub on [https://github.com/kode54/QuickNES_Core/commits/master?after=dc92944a5411edae98c86a7885323dff7b775bee+209 January 11, 2010], was [https://github.com/kode54/QuickNES_Core/commits/master abandoned on early December 2014]. However the [https://github.com/libretro/QuickNES_Core/commits/master libretro core], derived from that old core on [https://github.com/libretro/QuickNES_Core/commit/6d1505eb582ed748b9c17eac61a0829f0cf1aab2 December 9, 2012], is still active, and other programmers have introduced many improvements including [https://github.com/libretro/QuickNES_Core/commit/ea2a3a904c6d9c10b543d9ff309e44e1c9152f39 adding more mappers].

===Developer's experience===
He has made a number of minor contributions to various projects, including a number of console emulators, like [[ZSNES]] and [[Snes9x]]. And he has contributed a number of patches to the SNES emulator formerly known as [[Higan|bsnes]], several of which have been inexplicably ignored, probably due to [[wikipedia:Not_invented_here|NIH syndrome]].

He is also the creator of the VGM plugin for foobar2000.
