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.

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.
1 project | /r/Tetris | 6 Sep 2021

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)

I just tested M.C. Kids (USA).nes with Nestopia UE 1.51.1 and it seemed to work fine. You can try the updated version or test the ROM in a different emulator. https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators
