< p > FCEUX supports the iNES, FDS(raw and with a header), UNIF, and NSF file formats. FDS ROM images in the iNES format are not supported; it would be silly to do so and storing them in that format is nonsensical.< / p >

< p > FCEUX supports loading ROM/disk images from some types of compressed files. FCEUX can load data from both PKZIP-format files and gzip-format files. Only the "deflate" algorithm is supported, but this is the most widely used algorithm for these formats.< / p >

< p > Patching is supported for all supported formats (iNES, FDS, UNIF, and NSF), but it will probably only be useful for the iNES and FDS formats. UNIF files can't be patched well with the IPS format because they are chunk-based with no fixed offsets. < / p >
