Follow this app Developer website Overview Nestopia is a Nintendo NES emulator for Mac OS X.

Nestopia is by far the most compatible of any NES emulator for Mac OS X.

Using cycle-exact emulation, it is able to run titles that rely on precise timing, and which therefore break under other emulators.

It supports five extra sound chips and an astonishing 143 mappers.

This accurate emulation comes at a cost; Nestopia requires an 800MHz machine for full speed; but if you have one, this the best available NES emulation for Mac.

The original sources may be downloaded from the Nestopia home page.

Good Publisher Emulator Code To Link

The toolkit used to develop the Mac port, including the bridge code to link it to Nestopia, will be available in the longer term from my developer pages.

Certain portions are available now, and more will be added in the future.

Further information is also available from the enclosed Read Me file.

Sure its a little slow on older G4s but thats only because the emulator is cycle-accurate and not taking shortcuts like most NES emulators do.

September 2014 Version: 1.4.1 i dont know what to say because i somehow cant open it because in my finder, it wont let me click on it (0) GrammarNatzie 11 October 2012 Version: 1.4.1 Im new to emulators, and I dont even know if this should be under troubleshooting, but how do I download games to go on it Thanks.

Foobar1969 05 August 2012 Version: 1.4.1 Works great on MBP Lion, although the controls are not adequately explained.

Also, some features are intentionally excluded and sold as a separate shareware add-on.

Acuraice 15 June 2012 Version: 1.4.1 does anyone know why the game genie codes for legend to zelda worked for the first few hours of the game but now will not work have re-entered them correctly a million times,restarted game,loaded saved states etc.

Provides state freezingunfreezing, custom keyboard maps for two players, and several other features.

Ive noticed some occasional stuttering and on rare occasions when opening a ROM it instead opens the previously opened ROM.

No significant problems or crashing.

August 2010 Version: 1.4.1 I was wondering, is this a more up to date or renamed version of RockNES (0) 4.75 Em-Adespoton 14 March 2006 Version: 1.2.4 The current version of Nestopia features.

The previous reviewer who said Nestopia cant run full screen stated falsely.

The free version of Nestopia cannot run full-screen; with the purchase of Emulator Enhancer (which works with ALL of Bannisters 28 current emulators).

This feature set above can be expanded using Emulator Enhancer, a shareware module which adds the following additional options.

If anyone wants to rate EE (based on the customer having to pay for it), this belongs in a review of that software, not Nestopia.

Nestopia even has its own support forum now; use it if you need help with the program.

Good Publisher Emulator Zip And 7

I rated the Features as low, as Nestopia is missing a few features in the free version -- also, it is currently missing support for zip and 7-zip archives, as well as for Quartz effects and OpenGL overlays.

Everything else, I rated as 5, as there are no other NES emulators that perform as well (on ANY platform) as long as you have a fast enough CPU to run it at full speed.
