FCEUX is an open source NES emulator for Windows and Unix with solid emulation accuracy and advanced tools for power users. It is widely used for tool-assisted speedruns, ROM hacking, and debugging, and also serves casual gamers.

Use cases

  • play NES games on Windows, Linux, or macOS
  • record tool-assisted speedruns of NES games
  • hack and modify NES ROMs
  • debug NES homebrew with memory viewers and breakpoints
  • script gameplay automation with Lua
  • use save states and rewind while playing

When to choose

  • you need TAS tools like frame advance, input recording, and Lua scripting
  • you want built-in debugging, memory search, and PPU viewers for NES development
  • you need a cross-platform NES emulator with a long track record

When to avoid

  • you want the highest-accuracy NES emulation and a modern UI — consider Mesen instead
  • you need emulators for consoles other than the NES
