'''Nestopia UE''' - and its predecessor '''Nestopia''' - are  [[open-source software|open-source]] [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES/Famicom]] [[Video game console emulator|emulator]]s designed to emulate the NES hardware as accurately as possible.

==Features==
The requirements for the original Nestopia were considered higher than some of its contemporaries such as Stella.<ref name=gamepro>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.gamepro.de/artikel/specials/2563673/alle_spiele_per_emulator_p3.html|title=Part 1: The 8-bit console classics|magazine=Gamepro |date=2013-04-20|publisher=Game Pro|accessdate=2014-03-26}}</ref> To run an optimal emulation, the program requires a minimum 800&nbsp;MHz processor. Its high requirement is due to its accurate emulation of the NES hardware. The emulator will play most ROMs and has a strong port for the Apple Macintosh.<ref name=book>{{cite book|last=Stevens|first=Kenneth|date=2008 |title=The Emulation User's Guide|publisher=Lulu.com|isbn=978-1435753730}}</ref>{{Self-published inline|date=December 2017}} 

The original Nestopia allowed customization of colors, sounds, and graphics. It includes special features such as Power Glove.<ref name=gamepro/> Brandon Widdler of ''[[Digital Trends]]'' considers the emulator one of the best for the NES, though he admits that it has fewer features than its rival [[FCEUX]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/best-emulators/|title=Best Emulators (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and more)|author=Brandon Widder|date=2013-04-20|publisher=Digital Trends|accessdate=2014-03-26}}</ref>

==Development history==
Nestopia was originally developed for Windows by Martin Freij. Richard Bannister and R.
