Reverse emulating the NES to give it SUPER POWERS!

Caption notes

Tom Murphy presents “reverse emulation” as a technical joke about inverted hierarchies: retain the NES console while replacing data normally supplied by ROM with a Raspberry Pi-equipped cartridge. This reading focuses on his account of the interface. A fast desktop emulator does not establish that a device can answer each real PPU read in time. In his description, reading an address before returning data misses the deadline, so the software predicts the next request and then uses observed addresses to adjust its position estimate. He acknowledges that this did not fully tame the graphical noise and jank, and discusses communication overhead, multicore division of work and Linux interrupts. The game and image demonstrations have not been independently viewed and their performance is not certified from captions. The closing extension to brain augmentation is a speculation voiced in 2018, not a feasibility demonstration.
