description = "FCEUmm libretro is based on the FCEUmm (mappers modified) fork of the FCEU emulator. It is very fast and supports many mappers, including those for weird, obscure bootleg carts. It is tightly integrated with libretro features, which makes it a good choice for users seeking advanced frontend functionality, such as runahead and rollback netplay. While most NES emulators are lightweight, FCEUmm's particularly low resource requirements make it a good option for mobile, low-power/embedded and console targets."

description = "Mesen a relatively new but highly accurate NES emulator. With great accuracy comes great resource requirements (relative to other NES emulators, at least), so this core is not a great choice for weak mobile devices or other low-power/embedded platforms. However, it is the best choice for users who seek the most accurate reproduction of the NES hardware. Mesen also supports some fun enhancements, such as HD sprite replacement packs."

description = "Nestopia is based on the most up-to-date code from the Nestopia-Undead emulator. This core strikes a good balance between performance and accuracy, with support for a wide variety of games and mappers. However, it needs the NstDatabase.xml to determine which games support the Zapper light gun and various other peripherals, as well as to pick certain mappers, so make sure you have that file in place to avoid unnecessary problems. In general, this core is a good choice for most users on desktop and mobile platforms."
