Nestopia
Template:Short description Template:Infobox software
Nestopia UE - and its predecessor Nestopia - are open-source NES/Famicom emulators designed to emulate the NES hardware as accurately as possible.
Features
The requirements for the original Nestopia were considered higher than some of its contemporaries such as Stella.<ref name=gamepro>Template:Cite magazine</ref> 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.<ref name=book>Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Self-published inline
The original Nestopia allowed customization of colors, sounds, and graphics. It includes special features such as Power Glove.<ref name=gamepro/> 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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
