Latest revision as of 18:33, 19 March 2023

A list of NES projects. Feel free to add to this list.

Creating articles for individual games and projects is discouraged. Please link to a thread or an official page instead. You may also create a wiki page in your User space to use as an official page.

If a project is in-progress, wait until it is finished before adding it. Otherwise you may use a forum thread, or a user-space page on this wiki to document your personal progress.

Many older projects were written for emulators of their time, and may not run correctly on modern emulators or real hardware.
