      I know that there has been a lot of discussions which is the default/best emulator for NES and I also know that there are different answers depending what you are looking for.

      Since RPI 4 has arrived, is there one emulator that is preferred over another? I know that mesen has been up for discussions, or is it nestopia or fceumm? I’m not looking for specific features like palettes etc, just an emulator that runs most of the games, preferred with low latency, nothing else...

      Which is recommended? I currently use fceumm but curious if there is a different opinion now since retropie for rpi 4 now has a larger user base and maybe has matured a bit.

        lr-mesen has been added to RetroPie a few months back, so it's available if you want to try it out.
        All 3 emulators are fine - as far as compatibility is concerned, if you want to try the run-ahead feature, I'd recommend to start with fceumm, then nestopia. Mesen is not able to run a 2nd instance instance without considerable frame drop.

          @mitu thanks, I will definitely look into it. Read about it a while ago but forgot about that. I guess you have to set it up per game? Amazing how many features there are and how easy it is to miss them :)

            Yes, it should be per-game.
