Which one is the best NES Emu?

[Talas]

Hej people,

I was just wondering. I am still using RocknesX to play NES games on my PC. However, that emu is almost over a year old, I am asking myself whether, by now, there are any better alternatives to it. What aboot FCEUltra or JNES? Any of them discontinued like RockNESX?

virtuaNES is the best for me. its updated quite frequently.

 

[Allnatural]

I like VirtuaNES too. FCEU and Nestopia are also quite good.

 

[PsyMan]

FCE Ultra is probably the best choice. It is open source and it is updated quite frequently. Nestopia is also a good choice.

I like FCE Ultra, i doesn't tested Nessie: http://hem.bredband.net/b226863/ bacause is for windows but seens to be a nice new nes emulator

I like JNes. Jabo's done a excellent job, and the forum for it is here at emutalk.

i like NNNesterJ

 

[revl8er]

I use jnes, but FCEUltra is another excellent emulator.

 

[Doomulation]

NNNesterJ is the emulator of my choice, too.

VirtuaNES and JNES are the better ones. Despise FCE Ultra's video modes. Nestopia would be good if it didn't hog so many CPU cycles.

a little comparison test....... http://aep-emu.de/Sections-req-viewarticle-artid-87-newlang-eng.html

i like nestopia but i use virtuanes.....

I've wondered this as well, but I'm favoring VirtuaNES. Nessie and Nintendulator are promising, and they are quite accurate. I'm sure Nessie will be my #1 choice soon (I already use it frequently now anyway.)

 

[smegforbrain]

I use JNes pretty exclusively, turning to VirtuaNES for games that JNes doesn't run (mostly Mapper 5).

Not a very good comparision, since it takes a bunch of emulators nobody's ever heard of (or if you have, you've got too many emulators ), but misses obvious ones like JNes.

Hm... ok, from what I have heard, VirtuaNES seems to be the next best choice after RockNESX. Anyone still using that one? Why isnt it the best one anymore? It was the best one some years ago wasnt it?

Fx3 still codes the DOS version, but he lost his Windows coder a while ago. Hence, RockNESX is way behind. I remember Fx3 saying he was working on his own Windows build, but that was long ago and I haven't checked up on the progress.

I personaly prefer Nestopia, but that's probably because it's simple to use ,and I am quite used to it by now.

Even this thread is old as hell and was dead for nearly as long as it existed, it's not bad that you dig it out, because my opinion is missing here, too.
Sadly, there's not such a circle accurate approach in NES emulation like there's with SNES (bsnes) emulation, so I have to change between Nestopia (like Tonypantz already told: easy to use), JNES (was one of my first NES emulators, still use it for nostalgic reasons) and the FCEUltra mappers modified project (supports even the weirdest roms).
But I also have to admit, that I didn't tried a new NES emulator for years, so I never tried the newer ones like HalfNES, Nintendolator, Sega Li, nemulator or FCEUX (which is still a FCEU fork, so I can say, I tried it already )

 

[smcd]

I thought Nestopia tries (is?) cycle-accurate? It's my emulator of choice for NES

 

[Agozer]

Nestopia, definitely.
