Android Retroarch CORE NES

I have akways used fceumm. From what I am reading it's has the highest reliability and works well on low end systems. However nestopia is best for medium systems and has more accuracy and featrures. mesen is the top end supports HD textures packs, etc. ES-DE defaults to mesen, retrogame corp recommends nestopia, and I have always used fceumm. Should probably just dl all 3. Let the sys decide.
