Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
Making an FPGA for all of this is far more work than pulling an open source emulator and sticking it on a machine…
Yes, but Nintendo did neither the one nor the other.
This looks a whole lot like it’s probably some random emulator they grabbed and full screened?
Why should they do that? They already have their own SNES emulator with Canoe (used for example on the SNES Classic Mini). It is much more logical to assume that they compiled Canoe to run on Windows for this exhibition.
I take it you’ve never ported an application to a different platform running on a different hardware architecture before.
