NESticle offered its initial release as NESticle v0.2 on April 3rd, 1997. The program originally ran under DOS and Windows 95, offering few features and only supporting a handful of games. It was one of the first freeware NES emulators, and quickly became more popular than shareware rivals such as iNES. This was certainly due to the fact NESticle ran that much faster on the hardware of the day. Within a few weeks the program had become considerably more robust, and could play the majority of then-available NES ROMs. It was a massive step forward in emulation, making NES emulation accessible to the mainstream computer user. Some emulator programmers complained that a side effect of Nesticle's success was that it made people expect that emulation for more advanced systems, like the SNES, be just as finished.

The source code for NESticle was stolen from Sardu's computer by a hacker, named David Moore (also known as MindRape of Damaged Cybernetics, who accessed its network shares with Samba. Because of the incident, Sardu decided to discontinue NESticle. August 1998 saw the final NESticle release, version x.xx, and support for the emulator was discontinued. Samba is a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, released under the GNU General Public License. ...
NESticle eventually became obsolete as other emulation projects continued to develop and improve. However, it was a major step in the evolution of console emulation, noted for the public introduction of save states, automatic frameskipping, in-game movies, netplay, and its speed, particularly on lower-end computers. A saved game is a piece of digitally stored information about the progress of a player in a computer or video game. ...
