I've got PICO-8 emulation on the NES somewhat working. This could bring thousands of games to the NES library, expanding it by over 10x. The folks making those chinese NES-on-a-chip consoles are gonna love this.

Oh really? This is super cool but many games require insane amounts of processing and memory because those are not limited, so the idea is to find the ones that can run with the NES specs, am I right? Very cool indeed.

i anticipate the vast majority of games will work just fine - exceptions will probably be things like 3d engines maybe. i am using plenty of weird novel magic tricks to make this work. plus i have massive brain damage, so i don't have to obey the laws of physics anymore

can't wait for pico doom on the nes

Fantastic! But aren't Pico-8 specs way higher than NES? I remenber it features 256 colors on screen.

Make it work on the master system

this sounds awesome, im curious as to how it works

rather than actual emulation, I am directly recompiling .p8 pico8 games as native .nes games. This is not game-specific, so should work with any game - though there are still a lot of issues to fix.

makes sense, thats sick

JOY MECH FIGHT!!

this is incredible man nice work

I don't think many will work within the NES hardware constraints, unless you are using extra hardware?

Wait what? How?

how the fuck

You just opened bootleg Pandora's box

Dang, how many projects are you working on now?

the ones i haven't abandoned are this, mario chrous, and the lora internet alternative thing
