Nesticle's many features.

NESticle is a Nintendo Entertainment System emulator written by Icer Addis of Bloodlust Software and first released on 1997-04-03. The program works in both MS-DOS and Windows. It went through several upgrades to the point where it could play most of the NES catalog of games with adequate accuracy, and included several features like save states, movie recording, screen capturing, a PPU and palette viewer, audio logging, and unlimited Game Genie codes. It was one of the first full-featured NES emulators, and remained popular for a long time because it was highly optimized and could emulate NES games at full speed, even on weaker hardware.
