What is NES VST?
NES VST (often referred to as or earlier versions like 1.0) is a virtual instrument plugin designed for Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) such as FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, and Logic Pro. Its purpose is to accurately emulate the sound generation capabilities of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) audio processing unit (the Ricoh 2A03). nes vst 1.1 download
