Most SNES emulators have a mode for this.

IIRC, SNES had those, NES did not.

Better off unless you're targeting the SNES

napierzaza May 24, 2011 View on HN

So which SNES emulator does this?

LongSean Sep 17, 2010 View on HN

Awesome ... how long before someone can use this to run NES games ?

richardfey May 25, 2024 View on HN

I'd love something like this for the SNES

Given Nintendo has preferred HW for legacy support (i.e. Included older cpu's on newer gameboys for supporting older games) I am thinking they included the original nes cpu plus another newer chip for game selection GUI and HDMI up conversion

Is it possible you're thinking of the SNES, rather than the NES?

pnutjam Jul 21, 2022 View on HN

that gameboy cartridge isn't working on a modern system either...

Do "official" emulators handle these details? E.g., SNES games in Nintendo Switch Online
