Emulators and Tools
MAME
MAME is the emulator with the most hardware-accurate 7800 emulation at this point in time. For this reason its the recommended platform for developers. (in addition to real hardware, of course) With a less accurate emulator, it's easy to create games that won't be able to run on real hardware.
You can find the latest binaries at MAMEDEV.ORG
