At first- the NES file may be incorrectly associated (incompatible) with the installed application for its maintenance. In this case, you need to change this link yourself. To do this, right-click on the NES file you want to edit, click on the option "To open with" and then select the program you have installed from the list.

What is the .NES file format for?

Extension .nes is primarily associated with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) ROM Image (NES ROM Image) file format and its associated file type ( .nes). NES is the name of the hugely popular game console, also known as FamiCom (Family Computer), which was developed and sold by Nintendo in 1985-1995. around the world.

The NES was an 8-bit box that could run games based on hardware cartridges and required a connection to a TV. All sorts of unlicensed NES clones (Dendy, etc.) only added popularity to the console, and NES continues to exist in the world of emulation due to the fact that many NES emulators have been created and released for all major platforms.

File .nes contains a ROM (read only memory, ROM) dump of the NES game cartridge in a special format. This is the virtual file equivalent of a game cartridge that can be used to run a given game using any NES emulator.

There are many custom utilities and developer tools for creating, modifying, and any other file manipulation. .nes... Although Nintendo holds patents for all of its original game software, NES ROM images ( .nes) are available for download from many sources on the Internet.

In addition, the extension .nes also serves to denote Nessus plugin files ( .nes), also known as C-Module files. Nessus is a comprehensive cross-platform network vulnerability scanner commercially developed by Tenable Network Security. Using numerous plug-ins, Nessus is used to check networks of various configurations for known vulnerabilities, loopholes, "holes" and other network security problems.

File .nes Is a Nessus plugin written in the C programming language. Besides Nessus, the files .nes also used by other network security scanners such as the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) as C-Plugins.

Software to open or convert NES files

Recently my sister called me and asked: “ Is it possible to play Dandy games on the computer?”. Of course, I told her how to do it, and also decided to write a short article for you. After all, many sometimes want to return to childhood for a short while and play their favorite console. And for this it is not at all necessary to try to find it somewhere, and also think about where else to get cartridges with games.

So how do you play Dendy on your computer?

First we need download the games themselves on the Internet... All games for Dandy are a file with the extension .nes.

You have several options for where to get the games:

1) You can enter the phrase “games for dendy” in any search engine and dozens of sites will open in front of you, where you will download them.

2) You can download games from a specific site that I recommend. Here is a link to it.

I like this site because everything on it is extremely simple and clear. You just select the name of the prefix on the left (in our case Dendy) - then go to the "Games" section. Here all the toys are sorted alphabetically: select the desired letter - find the game - click on the name (or on the word "screenshots"). If this is really the toy you were looking for, download it by clicking on the link.

3) And you can also download directly a small assembly of the most popular in my opinion games for Dendy, which I made myself. It includes: Battle City (tanks), Battletoads & Double_Dragon (battle frogs), Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers 2 (chip and dale), Darkwing Duck (black cloak), Double Dragon III (double dragon), GALAXIAN (flies), Jackie Chan, Super Mario Bros (super mario), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (teenage mutant ninja turtles), Tiny Toon Adventures (rabbit):

So, no matter where exactly you download the game, it will be an archive containing a file with the extension NES... I advise you to copy all downloaded game archives into one folder and store them in it. Personally, I created on my disk WITH folder games and collected all my favorite Dendy games into it:

Now we need a special program emulator, through which we will run all Dendiva games.

There are quite a few consoles emulators. But I propose to use perhaps the most popular of them - FCEUX... To avoid problems with the launch of games, it is better to download the latest version of the program and moreover from the official website. You can download this version from me.

After downloading the archive with the program, unpack it somewhere on your computer. I unpacked to disk C: \ fceux-2.2.2... The contents of this folder looks like this:

To start the emulator, you need to find the file here fceux.exe and open it with a double click.

If you want (so as not to go into this folder every time), you can create a shortcut for this file on your desktop. To do this, click on the file fceux.exe right-click - select "Send" - "Desktop (create shortcut)":

So, the emulator is running:

First of all, we will set up the control: in the menu, select Config – Input:

We see the next window. Here opposite Port 1 press the button Configure:

Now we need to set up a keyboard shortcut for control. Dandy can be played either on keyboard; or if you have joystick(or rather a gamepad), then using it. Both the keyboard and the joystick are configured in the same way.

The setup is very simple: click in the window on the desired button with the mouse and after that twice press the desired button on the keyboard (or joystick). Then move on to the next button.
Personally, I configured the buttons on my keyboard as follows:

Left, Up, Right, Down is arrows

Select - space

Start - Enter

Turbo B and Turbo A are A keys and S

B and A - Z keys and X

Having finished setting up all the buttons, exit here by clicking “Close”.

Finally, now run the game through the emulator... As you remember, all downloaded games for Dandy are stored on disk C in folder games... By the way, the FCEUX emulator can open games directly from the archive. Some other emulators will not see the game if the file is not previously unzipped. Also FCEUX version 2.2.2 opens both zip and rar archives. But older versions of this program do not see rar archives.

So, in the menu we go to File – Open ROM:

Then we find the desired game on the computer, select it and click “Open”:

That's all: the game is running, and we can start playing with the keys that we configured in advance:

And one more thing: the FCEUX emulator has a wonderful function “ Save”, Which was so lacking in childhood. Those. you can stop when you need to, and not be afraid that all your passage will be lost.

You can use it as follows: during the game, click on the "File" menu - then "Savestate" - "Save State":
If then we need to start the game from the save location, then start the game as usual - then go to “File” - “Savestate” - “Load State”.

You have found a suitable game for yourself that you would like to remember and play. You downloaded it and now you have a question: how to play dandy games on computer?

All dandy games exist in a format such as: NES. This format cannot be easily opened. To open the NES format, we need emulators dandy games.

There are a lot of dandy emulators, but only a few convenient and normal ones.

Below are the dandy emulators that you can download immediately by clicking on the link.

For myself, I have selected two emulators that I use.

The first is VirtuaNES 0.97e, which I use for almost all games.

And the second is Nestopia 1.40, which I use to open multiplayer games.

Using the VirtuaNES 0.97e emulator as an example, I will now explain: how to play dandy games on a computer?

First, download it to your computer:

Then unzip the archive and open the unzipped VirtuaNES folder.

Then open the file "VirtuaNES.exe".

Opening we will see a black screen and at the top of the inscription "File (F)", etc. This is the emulator.

Step 1. Opening the game.

In order to open the game, click on the top of the inscription "File (F)" and select "Open (O)". Or just press the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + O".

A window "Open Rom file" will appear in front of us. Here we indicate the path / select the very dandy game that we want to open.

And press the "Open" button.

When you open some games, a window will appear in which it is written:
"Because a NES header is illegal, there can be the thing that does not work normally. Do execute?"

When such a window appears, press the "Yes" button.

All dandy play is open. You can already play.

Step 2. Control setup

You can already play, but how? We don’t know the control keys. Let's set them up.

To customize the controls, click on the top "Option (C)" and select "Controller (C)".

To set up the controls for the first player, you must have the "Controller1" tab open.

For the second player, the "Controller2" tab.

In the tab of the first player you should have two columns selected for "10FPS".

For myself, I set the control keys, which are shown in the screenshot below. This control setting is quite convenient.

For the second player, set it up as well, only the control keys are different.

Step 3. Opening the file immediately and always

In order for the dandy to open the game immediately upon double-clicking, that is, downloaded from our site, opened it and you can already play.

You need to open the game in nes format, then select "Select a program from the list manually" and click "OK".

Put a check mark next to the inscription "Use it for all files of this type" and click "OK".

All now you can run all downloaded games from our site at once.

You will not need to open the emulator and press "File (F)", etc. You will just need to open the game.

If you do not have the same inscriptions displayed on the monitor, then you need to move the cursor over the game and press the right mouse button.

Then click "Open with" and "Select program". Then click "Browse".

Select the emulator and put a tick next to the "Use it for all files of this type" option.

Click "OK" and we can safely play.

To pause the game, press the spacebar, and to continue the game, press the P key.

Pressing the spacebar continuously will play the game in slow motion.

If during the passage of the game you need to close it, and then, when there is free time for the game, continue the game from the same moment. You need to press the S key to save and L to continue the game.

And so ... You downloaded your favorite dandy game and decided to launch it. Stumbling into the file with the extension ".Nes" or archive ".Zip" you suddenly realize that you need help. In fact, you can't play these games just like that, without the help of special programs. These programs are called emulators.

An emulator is a program that reproduces work prefixes on your personal computer. And the game file itself (by the way, it is called rum) - this is cartridge(exaggerated). Naturally, you can't play dandy with only one thing. Therefore, for a full-fledged game you need download both rum and program to run it.

I found dozens of emulators on the Internet, but I decided to take only three of the best of them, besides, they all have support for the Russian language, which is very important for the Russian audience.

Russian emulators Dandy

Virtual NES	Nestopia	FCE Ultra
Virtual NES is a great dandy emulator that is best for opening Japanese-made games. Works on windows 7, XP, 2000. Excellent compatibility with most of the games. The Russian version of this emulator (version 0.93) is available at this link:	Nestopia- a relatively young dandy emulator, but already gaining tremendous popularity! Opens probably 99% of all rums without any problems. Has support for network play, many filters to adjust the image and sound. Works on win xp, 7, 2000. Of the minuses - quite demanding on the hardware, at least Pentium 3.	FCE Ultra- an excellent emulator dendy, nes, which can handle most games. It is somewhere in between the two previous emulators. It eats few resources, at the same time it has a bunch of settings that will satisfy even the most experienced gamer. To enable the Russian language, you need to go to the options, then click on language and select Russian. Version 0.98.15 is available at this link:

How to start the game (rum) on Dandy

Let's say you downloaded the emulator and the rum itself, i.e. you should have two files: one with the extension ".nes" (rum with the game), the second ".zip" (emulator). To run the game, you need to extract the emulator program and launch it. I will show you how to run rum, using the emulator as an example. Nestopia:

After starting the emulator, click on the file / open ( file / open). Next, you need to select the folder in which you have a file with the extension ".Nes" that is, the file of the downloaded game itself. Open it in this program and you can play. The only thing, it would be nice to customize the control buttons, graphics, sound. But here it is difficult to give any recommendations, because everything will depend on the personal preferences of the player, and on the hardware on which the emulator is running. You can also configure where the saves will be made, look at which buttons to make saves faster, if your emulator will have the ability to record video and sound - also specify in advance the folders where all this will be saved. If you actively use this program, the disk can have a decent amount of photo and video materials, up to several gigabytes!

That is, in general, the whole discovery of Roma ...
