    Review Nestopia

    Suppose you are one of those video game lovers who can't get used to the latest generation consoles or titles that emphasize graphics more than telling good stories. In that case, you are probably a regular user of emulators of old machines, or otherwise, you should start being one. For example, we will refer to Nestopia, an emulator for Windows computers that you must consider.

    Indeed, as its name indicates, Nestopia has been specially developed to remember those times of entertainment enjoying the NES, the historic 8-bit console of the people of Nintendo. And is that just as there are emulators of PlayStation and other games for consoles of SEGA, you should not lose sight that one of the most famous machines of all time also has its own.

    Thus, if you are one of the many users who miss being able to run some of the best titles of the mythical Nintendo Entertainment System on your PC, you have to consider that this program will allow you to do it. In fact, beyond the fact that other emulators offer us the possibility of getting close to their games, not all of them have compatibility with such an extensive NES catalog.

    Besides that, Nestopia has a fascinating versatility since many aspects that make the gameplay of the different titles can be modified, such as audio and video. This is important because the emulators can be used in last-generation computers and somewhat underpowered ones, so we can constantly adapt them to our needs.

    Apart from the above mentioned, Nestopia distinguishes itself in the world of emulators by integrating other attractive features such as a Famicom Disk System Manager, also known as FDS Manager. This program supports NES games stored on floppy disks, which is already unusual as long as you have the FDS BIOS.

    Thanks to the precise emulation of the clock cycles of the original console, Nestopia offers, as we were saying, absolute compatibility with the best games for NES, among which we can mention some like the following: Super Mario Bros, Rygar, The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man 3, and many others that undoubtedly remain in the retina of gamers.

    Of course, some things have also improved. Beyond the fact that this will also depend on your computer's audio system, the sound of the games is superior to the original when we run them from Nestopia, which is always an incentive if we are looking for a first-class entertainment experience. If you have small children and want to show them how their father or mother had fun, you will be able to do it the best way.

    But the best thing about Nestopia is that it is one of the few emulators designed for this console. It also adds the necessary features to play in the network with other users without limitations. This is not a minor detail, considering that most titles are more entertaining when we can challenge our colleagues and friends.

    Nestopia's user interface, although it is always a relative aspect when we talk about emulators because they mostly remain in the background, complies with its simplicity. Do not expect icons or distinctive elements at sight, but the location and access to the main functions we can expect from an emulator are perfect.

    The best thing about Nestopia is that it is an emulator for a historical console that supports most of the games in its catalog. From this, we find other excellent features, such as the possibility of developing games over the Internet, the modification of many of the essential parameters of the gameplay of the different titles, or the improved audio concerning the originals.

    If we had to mention negative aspects of our experience using Nestopia, we should point out that, as rarely happens, we have not found sufficient weight to point them out here. Remember that this emulator, like most current ones, does not have the ROMs of the games integrated, so you will have to download them manually when you want to enjoy any title.

    In conclusion, if you consider yourself a fan of the NES, you want to have fun with most of its famous games and eventually do it challenge your acquaintances or friends through the net; Nestopia is the application you must install. It has all the elements we could expect from an emulator and some more like these, and to top it off, its consumption of system resources is minimal.
