FCE Ultra – an open-source, portable NES/Famicom emulator, created by Xodnizel, and based on source code of FCE. Bero originally wrote a Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom emulator that was referred to as FCE.
FCE Ultra remained DOS-only until version 0.18, when it was ported to Linux SVGAlib, and released as a statically-linked executable. The first MS Windows port was released as version 0.25.
A native GUI is provided for the Windows port, and the other ports use a command-line interface. The SDL port should run on any modern UNIX-like operating system (such as FreeBSD, Solaris or IRIX) with no code changes. It has also been ported to the GP2X, PlayStation Portable as PSPFceUltra, the Nintendo GameCube and Pepper Pad.
Parasyte modified FCE Ultra 0.81.3 in 2002, and added a Nesten-style debugger, along with several other features, and named it FCEUD (FCE Ultra Debugger).
FCEU and its code branches have all been succeeded by FCEUX.
