WTF is this even? Did someone just slightly alter a mario world rom and run it on their NES with a flashcart or is this some gay homebrew version of mario world like the chinks make?

I'm just surprised a NES has enough bandwidth to put a video signal from the cartridge slot onto the screen.

The tile data for the backgrounds and sprites can already come from ROM or a mapper pretending to be ROM from the cart. He basically made his own mapper out of a Raspberry Pi that feeds the PPU the emulated snes buffer pixels.

I mean it's cool to see the console try and display it in its native colors but that title is clickbait as fuck, just say what it is.

What the fuck does this have to do with anything? Did you just come off an argument at romhacking.net or some shit? Patching games and novelty hardware tricks are not even tangibly related.

I'd be more impressed with seeing an SNES with backwards compatibility like it was initially intended.

The result would invariably look like a super gameboy (essentially a gameboy in an snes cart), except maybe you could get away with omitting the processor on the cart. While the PPU has a small number of similarities, for the most part it's a whole different beast. The audio subsytem is completely different.

Yes, Genesis Plus GX is light enough for that SBC. It could to spreadsheets or anything. The NES is only acting as a video adapter.

Piping in SNES games and passing the inputs back to the NES emulator is an additional step to what you posted. Looks like the DarNES people pretty much did the hard part, but it's still nifty.

So it's basically streaming? The SNES emulation is happening on the cartridge and it just tells the NES what to display, as if it's nothing more than a terminal

The add-on processors for the SNES worked in tandem, they didn't replace the CPU. And they were rare on the SNES

Just about every game on the NES had additional processors, they were called mappers

Although the concept is very creative in itself and the hard work is admirable, it was a video clearly made by reddit for reddit. People may not like Ben Heck, but at least he didn't ever get as cringe as this. If he cut all the bullshit and kept it strictly technical and not even resort to "muh single shot it's totally not fake" then it would have had a better reception ITT, I'm sure.
