FAQ

Is Jnes compatible with all NES games?
It has excellent compatibility with a wide range of NES games, but there may be some rare titles that encounter issues. It's a good idea to check user forums or the official website for specific game compatibility information.

Can I use my original NES game cartridges with Jnes?
No, it does not support physical NES cartridges. You will need ROM files of the games you want to play on your computer.

Are there legal concerns with using Jnes and NES ROMs?
Yes, there can be legal gray areas surrounding ROM usage. It's important to ensure you own a physical copy of any NES game ROM you download, as downloading copyrighted ROMs without owning the original cartridge can be legally problematic.

Can I use Jnes on Mac or Linux computers?
The app is primarily designed for Windows, but there are alternatives like Nestopia for Mac and FCEUX for both Mac and Linux that offer similar NES emulation experiences.

Is Jnes actively maintained and updated?
The development of the app has been relatively quiet in recent years, with the last update as of my knowledge cutoff in 2022. Users may want to check for the latest information on the official website or forums for any updates or community-supported versions.
