Tom Murphy (suckerpinch) shows 'reverse emulation', using a Raspberry Pi in an NES cartridge to give an unmodified NES new abilities such as playing SNES games. The video starts in a strange way and gets stranger.

Why it surfaced in Hacker News

Praised as a brilliant, deadpan and inventive hardware hack, and a good starting point for Tom7's videos.
