    I guess people are assuming it runs whatever third party emulator. It was at least how I first imagined it.

    If that’s the case, it’s in my opinion very embarrassing: attempting to profit from stuff made by the community they act extremely hostile towards.

    If not, I guess it’s just mildly embarrassing that they have a poorly concealed windows machine taking away from the immersion.

      I read through the article, only speculation but since the sound is without a doubt the USB being disconnected then it’s pretty obvious an Windows machine running a rom.

        Well yeah, but it might as well be their own in-house emulator.

        They really should have used their own PC OS

      It’s a weird assumption. Like I said, emulation for backward compatibility is common. Do they always just wait for some random strangers to implement an emulator for them?

        Nintendo has some serious emulation experts for building products, but this setup rigged by some museum staff could be anything.

        Waiting? There is zero chance availability is an issue. There are many ready to go snes emulators for windows out there.

        They have literally had their own emulators for so long. At least since the SNES Classic released. It is called Canoe
