Here's an SNES game running on an NES!

[Bucket Mouse]

Someone's gotten an SNES emulator to work on a real NES console. The results are far from perfect graphically, but it's fully playable.

If you're reading this forum you're well aware of the limits involved with the NES. This video is pretty interesting, showing how he got around them. More technical details can be found in the follow-up video:

Important note: please don't be the guy who contacts 8BitHeroes and asks them to make this a "feature."

Lots of games, mostly later in the NES's life cycle, put expansion chips on the games themselves. Not just for improved graphics, but music as well.

I wonder if he'd be able to make it glitchless? Or someone else? Who knows, maybe with such tech Shovel Knight running on actual NES is possible despite the limits it broke out of.
