How NESticle changed NES Emulation forever | MVG

editing sprites on the go. wow! Is there another emulator changing palette and sprite while in game?

The mid to late 1990's was such a great time in hindsight, multi player Goldeneye and mariokart, soul calibur, FIFA are standouts from that era.

Amazing dudes who backwards engineered all these consoles and systems. Now we take it for granted to read through almost every systems complete fully documented memory maps

my first machine was a 100mhz compaq presario....I remember nesticle

Testicle

Used to run it on my 486 DX4 100 and had to take stacks of floppy disks to my friends house to download the ROMs over dialup :D

When NESticle came out it was the only time I really messed with emulators. It's pretty crazy now and more professional looking

i just got my 6502 emulator working, if it ever runs the intro of super mario bros i will consider my life worthy

Nesticle is sus name

i remember loading on nesticle to every computer in the back row in the highschool lab so i could always play it no matter which seat i got haha

I just got a PC in 1998. I had the consoles and my buddies would always come over on the weekends to game. My buddy downloaded Nesticle. Great times.

All hail the Fecal Lord. Yeah $hitman! Lol 😂

I remember some insane person releasing an NES emulator that was an mIRC script. lol

Granted, it BARELY ran Super Mario Bros. But still. It RAN it.

Someone else did a similar thing in either Basic or Qbasic with the same as the above. It RAN games... didn't really PLAY them.

And another neat emulation thing... the GBA was emulated before the system even RELEASED. Granted... at the time there was just the Yoshi demo that "kinda" ran and a LOT of people releasing homebrew games and demos. They were simple and, well, only "ran" at the time. But still... was damned impressive for the time.

With regards to NESticle? That was THE emulator back then for NES considering people like me who were still rocking a 486.

How was school Jonny?

Great mom. Mr Harris let us play with our nesticles

Any modern Nes EMU's with all those cool-ass features or what?

Replace n with t

bruh this brought out some repressed memories about an old aunt wanting me to download *my* nesticles into her PC.

Nestopia is the one i used i installed it on my school computer

It's cool this guy was around during this time

When I first saw this and genecyst in July of 1997 I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing. Such an amazing time. This came out just at the right time to "unlock" all those games I only dreamt of playing as a kid but couldn't due to cost/availability
