Tried an NES Emulator on this 13" Sharp CRT TV from 1997
TV is directly hooked to my PC as a second monitor via an active VGA to SCART adapter. Picture and audio works flawlessly. For the NES Emulator I use Mesen and as a controller just a wireless Xbox controller.

Donkey Kong Country 3 Remove 103% final cutscene
Unfortunately, you may have to go through the process of documenting the game's hexadecimal code yourself. You can do this by finding an emulator that can trace changes in a Super Nintendo game's code (I recommend Mesen-S). Link to the site

I want to play tetris.
Tetris version played on championships is NES/Famicom Tetris, the best option is to download an emulator, im using Mesen (https://www.mesen.ca/) and it works very well, you will need also a .nes game file (https://www.emulatorgames.net/roms/nintendo/tetris/ for example)

Will someone continue to work of Mesen-S?
For a relatively recent compiled build of Mesen (the AppVeyor link still points to Sour's account), see mkwong98's github: https://github.com/mkwong98/Mesen/releases/tag/0.9.9-210220

What's your dream game you hope to one day play on this device?
There's a couple actually. Spine was the most impressive at the time of its last release, but it's been about a year since that release and whether it's still being developed is still unknown. fpPS4 and Obliteration seems to be the most promising right now.

[Megathread] Tech Support for Noobs! - February 2023
PS4 emulation is in the works, but playing something like Ghosts of Tsushima is years away. fpPS4 and Obliteration are experimental emulators / compatibility layers, but they’ve only been in development for a few years and can just boot simple games. That being said, Ghost of Tsushima was one of many games listed in the GeForce NOW leak from Ighor July a few years ago; Since then, many of the games listed have indeed been announced for PC, so a PC port might be on its way.
