Ratings and reviews

Really well put together and runs extremely well. I actually ran a test rom on it and it passed the vast majority of tests. The only ones it failed were for stuff like niche edge cases and accurate frame timing (compared to original hardware) so if you're not speedruning and just playing one of your old favorites, it's absolutely perfect.

The only NES emulator you'll need and love! I switched over to this after John NES stopped being updated and crapped the bed. Now I'm gonna do the same with the Gameboy and SNES ones! This is hands down the best emulator experience I've had. Controller mapping and utilization is a dream, love the rewind feature you can map as opposed to a button on the screen. No issues with setting up folders or running anything. Absolute joy to use and worth the fiver!

On the last August update, the LCD grid overlay was corrupted. Now, despite being selected isn't appearing. You have to select a different overlay, and then re-select the LCD one to properly see it. But once you close the app, the overlay effect disappears again, requiring doing the same process over and over.

What’s new

* Update core to latest GIT
* Add a rewind button to the stock top-left virtual controls and only the show the rewind button when rewind states are set in the system options
* Add Options -> Frame Timing -> Low Latency Mode to keep the emulation thread in sync with the renderer thread to prevent extra latency, turned on by default but trying turning off in case of performance issues
* Default to the screen's reported refresh rate as the output rate if the device supports multiple rates
