Introduction
This section is a work-in-progress. Some details may be incorrect.
Bero originally wrote a NES emulator that was referred to as FCE.
This seemed to be a temporary name, but it stuck. Xodnizel originally ported it to
Linux SVGAlib, and made a few improvements. This code base was abandoned,
and work began anew, under DOS, with the original FCE source code. Eventually,
a series of "FCE Ultra" betas were released.
FCE Ultra remained DOS-only until version 0., when it was ported to Linux SVGAlib, and released as a staticly-linked executable.
All official instructions of the NES' CPU, the 2A03, which is compatible(mostly) with the 6502, are emulated. "Unofficial" instructions are also emulated, though probably not as accurately as the more well-defined official instructions.
FCE Ultra supports the iNES, FDS(raw and with a header), UNIF, and NSF file formats. FDS ROM images in the iNES format are not supported; it would be silly to do so and storing them in that format is nonsensical.
