iNES


Description

iNES is a portable emulator of the Nintendo Entertainment System (aka Famicom in Korea and Japan, Dendy in Russia).

It runs most NES/Famicom games and supports such esoteric devices as GameGenie, Family BASIC keyboard, Famicom Disk System, and VS-System coin-op arcade. The original idea of iNES belongs to Alex Krasivsky, who found the first pieces of information about NES hardware and wrote the initial code, although nothing remains of that code today. You can always get latest iNES news, binaries, and support files from
