60 FPS NES Emulator on ESP32

Hackaday reports on Anemoia-ESP32, an NES emulator built specifically for the ESP32 microcontroller. Despite its modest hardware by modern standards, the ESP32 can faithfully emulate the classic Nintendo Entertainment System, hitting sixty frames per second in most games while maintaining full audio. The project adds refinements the original couldn't offer, including save states and various settings customizations. Because the ESP32 is so compact, it enables truly small handheld gaming devices—a digital preservation tool that enhances the retro gaming experience.
