NES emulation is the process of developing software that accurately replicates the hardware and behavior of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), an iconic 8-bit gaming console from the 1980s, enabling original games to run on modern computers and devices. This programming practice is highly relevant to the tech community for preserving retro gaming history, teaching low-level concepts like CPU cycles, graphics rendering, and audio synthesis, and fostering open-source projects that advance emulation accuracy and performance.
