7 Best Dendy Emulators for Different Platforms
These programs will allow you to enjoy your favorite childhood games on new computers and mobile devices.
1. RetroArch
Platform: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android.
A multifunctional and multi-platform emulator that supports dozens of different set-top boxes and engines, including Dendy. In RetroArch, you can configure almost everything – up to which shaders will be used in the process
Most gamepads work with the program, it has options for streaming and even achievements for many old games.
2. Higan
Platform: Windows, Linux.
One of the most famous emulators. In addition to Dendy (NES), it supports the SNES, Game Boy Advance, SEGA Mega Drive, and many other consoles.
The main advantage of higan is that it reproduces the work of the original systems as accurately as possible. This allows you to run on it almost all games from old consoles. The set of functions of the emulator is not so large, but all the main things are in place: saving, cheating, setting up audio and video and supporting game pads.
3. FCEUX
Platform: Windows, Linux.
Multiplatform emulator Dendy, which supports a huge number of games of different formats. In it, you can save, fine-tune the controls, use the mouse as a light gun, even take screenshots and record gameplay.
4. Nestopia
Platform: Windows, macOS, Linux.
Nestopia developers abandoned the project more than 10 years ago – now it is supported by enthusiasts. The emulator is interesting primarily because, like higan, it tries to reproduce the work of Dendy as accurately as possible. So, almost all games run on it, even pirated and modified ones.
5. OpenEmu
Platform: macOS.
A stylish and convenient emulator for macOS, reminiscent of iTunes. It supports 30 different set-top boxes and allows you to customize the controls for each of them. The most interesting thing about OpenEmu is a separate library for each emulated console. When you add a game there, the program automatically makes a backup of the file and downloads a beautiful cover.
6. Nostalgia.NES Pro
Platform: Android.
Excellent Dendy emulator on Android. It has everything you can expect from such a program, and even more. Eight save slots per game, adjusting the position, size and appearance of virtual buttons, multiplayer up to four people and the ability to rewind time, which allows you to immediately correct the mistakes made in the game.
Lite-version of Nostalgia. NES differs from the full presence of advertising and the fact that it keeps saves only in the cloud.
7.NES.emu
Platform: Android.
Another emulator on Android. Supports save files and cheat codes from FCEUX, games for the Famicom Disk System, as well as unusual controllers like Wiimote, iControlPad and Zeemote JS1. Can save the game automatically. The only downside is that there is no free version. But paid is not so expensive.
