[Hacker gets Super NES games running on unmodified NES (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/05/how-to-reverse-emulate-super-nes-games-on-unmodified-nes-hardware/)]
QuoteAt this point, we're used to modern computers being able to perform near-perfect emulation of older gaming hardware via software trickery. The latest project from Tom "Tom7" Murphy, though, seems poised to coin its own definition for "reverse emulation" by running a playable Super NES game on actual unmodified NES hardware.
Murphy breaks down this wizardry in a pair of detailed videos laying out his tinkering process. Though the NES hardware itself is untouched, the cartridge running this reverse emulation is a heavily customized circuit board (ordered from China for about $10), with a compact, multi-core Raspberry Pi 3 attached to handle the actual Super NES emulation.
Not very practical but I love reading about this types of projects. Some of these games he emulates are really trippy.
That's awesome - an incredible waste of resources but awesome!
That's really damn cool, tbh.
@CreepinDeth great find lol
I have to agree with
@Jack and
@targetrasp ... this is pretty cool!
