Reverse emulating the NES to give it SUPER POWERS!

Tom7 is one of my favorite people, he is hilarious, has an amazing technical depth, and so much whimsy to go along with it. I'll proselytize for him all day! relevant video: link less relevant, but I think my favorite: ▶ this video

You will love Tom7/suckerpinch's stuff then, if you don't know him already. Here's a good one for the start, though really, they are all fantastic: ▶ this video

Tom7 is brilliant for anyone that hasn't seen him before. His Reverse Emulation video ( ▶ this video ) and Weird Chess Algorithms ( link ) are a must watch. His dead pan delivery coupled with the ridiculous amount of effort he puts into things that don't _really_ matter is honestly inspiring.

In that case, you might like one of tom7's many wonnderful videos [0], "Reverse emulating the NES to give it SUPER POWERS!" where he hacks a real NES cartridge with a raspberry pi with an emulator, then figures out how to map all of the data into NES sprites, etc. As usual for his videos, it's absolutely wonderful.

Along these lines, Tom7 invented* 'reverse emulation' which effectively uses a Raspberry Pi as a co-processor, allowing him to run [spoilers ahoy!]an SNES emulator on an NES.[/spoilers] The talk is brilliant: ▶ this video * - as far as I know...

Anything that catches your eye is good but my favorites are: 30 Weird Chess Algorithms: ELO World link Reverse Emulating the NES to give it SUPER POWERS! ▶ this video

Great YouTube channel. Here’s a fun video where he integrates a raspberry pi into a NES cartridge to do all kinds of crazy things using the NES’s native hardware. Spoiler alert: full-motion video of the rickroll video is not the craziest thing he manages to pull off. ▶ this video

Heh, it reminds me of this gem: ▶ this video which does something similar... using a modern device to give old devices essentially capabilities beyond what they should be able to do.

What a great article. If you liked this, you'll likely also enjoy ▶ this video I'm not giving a summary since that video is most fun to watch if you don't know the punchline in advance. (No relationship to the video other than that I liked it.)

Well, then do I have the video for you: ▶ this video Bit of a spoiler to post it in this context, but still worth it.

This reminds me of this video of a "reverse-emulated" NES using a raspberry-pi: ▶ this video (you can skip to 3:35 if you're not interested in the jokes). The author further explains how he did it in this "making of" video: link
