Emulators

The most useful NES emulator for hacking purposes is FCEUXD SP which includes a Trace Logger, a built-in Hex Editor, a Name Table Viewer, Code/Data Logger, Inline Assembler, and Game Genie Decoder/Encoder, PPU Viewer, and a Debugger with Conditional Breakpoints and Symbolic Debugging.

NES ROM images generally have the extension .NES and are organized according to the iNES format. Another format the UNIF(Universal NES Interchange Format) hopes to replace the iNES.
