In their own words

My NES

My NES is a portable, open-source NES and Famicom emulator for Windows, written in C#. It emulates NES processing, supports NTSC, PALB and DENDY formats, and implements about 97% of known documented mappers. The project says it passes most known hardware behavior tests, although some games may fail because of an unimplemented mapper or emulation bug. A built-in launcher organizes games, shows information from NesCart DB, and records ratings and play time. Users can save and load states, take snapshots, record game audio and use Game Genie. Four-player joypads work through a keyboard, joystick or Xbox 360 controller. Video can be upscaled beyond Full HD. The emulator is multithreaded, and the project reports 60 fps on older Windows machines. My NES is.NET freeware under GNU GPL version 3, listed at free. It usually runs after extracting a portable package and stores settings and user files in Documents. Requirements include.NET Framework 4, DirectX and Microsoft C++ Runtime.

NESER

NESER is a free Nintendo emulation systems engine written in Rust, with desktop and browser frontends. It supports NES and Famicom variants, Game Boy and Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Super Nintendo systems. Shared platform code covers audio, video, input, save states, configuration, ROM browsing, and debugging. The native frontend supports keyboard and gamepad input, with NES-specific devices including the Zapper, SNES Mouse, Arkanoid paddle, Power Pad, and Four Score. NES users can choose shader presets such as CRT, NTSC, smooth, PAL, or none. The browser frontend accepts ROM files for the supported systems. For scripting and CI, headless mode runs a ROM and writes a PNG frame; the same ROM and frame count produce byte-identical captures across runs and builds. NES development tools include a debugger, CPU trace, breakpoints, and deterministic autorun recording and playback. A built-in open-source GBA BIOS means no external BIOS file is required. NESER is MIT-licensed and can be installed with cargo install neser or obtained as a prebuilt release.
