Hacker gets SNES games running on unmodified NES

Forget emulating older gaming hardware on modern computers – this hacker has got a SNES game running on an unmodified NES.

Using a raspberry pi, kind of misleading title.

More like a flat-out lie than just misleading. It may be running through the NES display hardware, but certainly not on the system. The 8-bit NES can't handle 16-bit code.

Lol, isn't that a bit like saying "my unmodified home theater receiver can play PS4 and PC games"? It happens to have display information passing through it, but none of the processing is happening on board...

@instantstupor

You wont believe what kind of things my TV could do lol

Is this any different than the SNES using a DSP or FX chip though? Or the Genesis using the SVP chip or 32X addon?

[Muzikguy]

Many headlines these days or misleading or flat out lying to people. I don't see how they can keep getting away with it, or in this case get approved.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

That's gotta be the worst clickbait yet.

[RainbowBrite]

Don't listen to them Hacker, they don't know what they are saying, and keep doing the Lord's work

[Skuletor]

Hacking is modifying code.

The actual videos are kind of cool. He still has to work within the constraints of the NES hardware to display the images. And the inputs from the controllers are being read from the NES hardware. So it's not just pushing images through the NES, even though that's half of it.

Maybe N4G isn't the place 2 go 2 get my gaming news...
