Why Famtasia? Why not <something else>?
These features are required:
- Movie recording and replay
- Movie rerecording (using quicksaves to undo part of the movie)
- Good emulation quality
- The emulator must work in Linux - either as native or with emulation such as Wine.
These emulators have been considered and rejected:
- FCE-Ultra (lacks recording)
- VirtuaNES (doesn't work in Linux (not even with winex))
- Nesticle (bad quality, lacks rerecording, slow under Dosbox)
- Nester (lacks recording, doesn't work in Linux)
- iNES (bad quality, lacks recording)
Famtasia just happens to work. Which is why I use it.
