In their own words

fixNES

fixNES is a free, open-source NES emulator for Windows and Linux. It runs NTSC and PAL .nes ROMs and creates .sav files for games that support saving. FDS and QD titles can run when a FDS BIOS named disksys.rom is placed in the same folder, and NSF music files are supported with track changes on the left and right keys. Files can be opened by drag and drop, command-line argument or from ZIP archives. The project lists support for NES mappers and VRC6, VRC7, FDS, MMC5, N163 and Sunsoft 5B audio expansions. Controls are keyboard-only; Windows users can use joy2key for controller input. The standalone build uses supplied scripts and requires freeglut and openal-soft, while a Makefile supports RetroArch core use. The README says the project is not in its most complete or cleanest state. It is licensed under MIT.
