Nestopia is an open-source NES/Famicom emulator designed to emulate the NES hardware as accurately as possible.
Features
The requirements for Nestopia were considered higher than some of its contemporaries such as Stella.[3] In order to run an optimal emulation, the program requires a minimum 800 MHz processor. Its high requirement is due to its accurate emulation of the NES hardware. The emulator will play most ROMs and has a strong port for the Apple Macintosh.[4][self-published source?]
Nestopia allows customization of colors, sounds, and graphics. It includes special features such as Power Glove.[3] Brandon Widdler of Digital Trends considers the emulator one of the best for the NES, though he admits that it has fewer features than its rival FCEUX.[5]
