    Honestly they are the worst easily accessible ones available but they aren’t unplayable. They are bad compared to anything you can get on PC though, and expensive.

      Earlier ones were, but he finds that the NES Classic and Switch Online emulators are actually more accurate than some of the most popular third-party emulators.

        I can’t say I agree. I see six emulators rated better on that list, all third-party. I personally would recommend ares.

          11:00 in the video

          Allow me to remove any and all sarcasm from the script here, because this is better than most NES emulators I found on the internet. By a lot. Yes, this is better than FCEUX. This is better than Nestopia. This is tied with Nintendulator! Of all the NES emulators I found online, including the one I created, only four of them scored better than this.

        Unless I missed it, Switch Online wasn’t mentioned specifically in that video. Is it the same one as the NES Classic?

        Looks like I did miss it

          At 11:22:

          By the way, Nintendo Switch Online has the exact same results, so I’m inclined to believe it’s the exact same emulator.

          Yes, he mentions that NSO gets the same exact test results as NES Classic, so it’s assumed to be the same codebase.
