Review
VirtuaNES was once an emulator of choice prior to the availability of FCE and Nestopia. However, it is old, inaccurate (passes less than 35% of 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.
