FCE Ultra is a well respected NES Emulator. The site currently states that the last author stopped working on it, but various project authors have taken up the job. The last stable version is from 2004, but works well and great and is another alternative NES emulator that plays well.

Information

FCE Ultra is an NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator for various platforms. It is based upon Bero's original FCE source code. Current features include good PPU, pAPU, CPU, joystick and expansion chip emulation. Also a feature unique to FCE Ultra(at the current time) is authentic Game Genie emulation. Save states and snapshot features also have been implemented. All official instructions of the NES' CPU, the 2A03, which is compatible(mostly) with the 6502, are emulated in FCE Ultra. "Unofficial" instructions are also emulated, though probably not as accurately as the more well-defined official instructions.
