An NES emulator built in one go by Claude Fable
A non-programmer asked Claude Fable to build an NES emulator that plays .nes files; Mario ran well, while some games glitched or would not load.
The full story
The maker, not a programmer, asked Claude Fable (Extra) to build an NES emulator that plays .nes files, without expecting much. They then played the first two full levels of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt and say the sound had no audible glitches.
They later admitted it doesn't work perfectly. Claude itself warned that games like Zelda couldn't save yet and that timing issues might make Battletoads glitch; Battletoads was playable but not perfect, and Castlevania 3 wouldn't run because the right mapper wasn't supported.
