'''VirtuaNES''' is an open-source Japanese [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom (NES) emulator]] developed for Windows by Norix. This emulator is notable for having support for several obscure peripherals that most other emulators cannot emulate. However, it is old and inaccurate (only passes 35.27% of [http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests.html TASVideos' accuracy test]) therefore not recommended except for games that require those accessories.
'''VirtuaNES''' is an open-source Japanese [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom (NES) emulator]] developed for Windows by Norix. This emulator is notable for having support for several obscure peripherals that most other emulators cannot emulate. Its speed on low-end hardware led to it being ported to the 3DS, where it can [[VirtuaNES/Compatibility_List|run many games at full speed]].

==Review==
 
VirtuaNES was once an emulator of choice prior to the availability of [[FCEUX|FCE]] and [[Nestopia]]. However, it is old, inaccurate (passes less than 35% of [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c9IswrneXgFpu49bDyLL79XEdO7UrUZz4x-qEmOo5vI/edit#gid=11 TASVideos' accuracy tests]), and has an awkward user interface. It is thus not recommended except for games that require its support for obscure accessories or for speed on very old hardware.
