Yeah, it's the floppy tavern so deal with it. (?)

FCEU-mm is a fork of FCEUltra, now what's so special about it? It emulates almost every mapper in existance, with a fair degree of accuracy. Forget about the fancy stuff like shaders. Now you can play Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, and shitloads of other chinese pirate carts on your pc without the need of actually getting your hands onto those carts (which can be really tough, given its nature).

As a side note, it supports Dendy mode (heh, the russian nes clone) which, coincidentally, is the same as the clones that were available in Argentina (60hz cpu and gpu running at 50hz, resulting in a noticeable slowdown)
As a kid I used to play with my clone famicom and sometimes nostalgia gets over me, and when I play on a real NES (or emulated one) the difference in speed just kinda ruins my experience. Now with this emu that's solved.
EDIT: Actually, I messed up. The Dendy mode capable emulator is Nestopia. (Nestopia 1.41 Unofficial)

Sorry I got myself carried away, here's the link to CaH4e3's site:

I'd love to hear about it from another south-american or russian folk who had a Dendy/awkwardly clone nes.

Dendy emulation? Great! I always asked myself how this russian clone worked... :)

I can't activate the Dendy mode, how can this be achieved?

Sorry snake, i got confused. The Dendy supporting emulator is Nestopia (Nestopia 1.41 Unofficial)

Actually the logic behind Dendy-like clones is pretty simple:

The North-american NES and Famicom uses Ricoh RP2A03 CPU running at 60hz.
The European NES uses a Ricoh RP2A07 CPU running at 50hz.
The Dendy clones uses a Ricoh RP2A03 (same as Famicom) but running at a 50hz frequency. The difference between the european NES and the Dendy are that while they run at the same speed, when loading NTSC games on pal hardware game suffers sound issues (different pitch) apart from being slower than NTSC, while the Dendy is slower than NTSC but doesn't suffer from the pitch issues. (apart from speed it sounds the same)
