Tri-Star/Super 8 Adapter

I've been asked on #zsnes to reseach the impossibility of porting NES games onto the SNES.

I've found something, odd though: check it out: http://home.freeuk.net/markk/Consoles/Tri-Star_FAQ.txt

The Tri-Star/Super 8 FAQ contains information about the Tri-Star (also known as Super 8) adapter for Super NES consoles. The Tri-Star allows 8-bit NES and Famicom games to be played on a SNES.

HOW WOULD THIS WORK!!

I've seen the circuit diagram (http://home.freeuk.net/markk/Consoles/T ... _pics.html) and there isn't much to it - I'm really confused

HELP

It simply has the NES hardware on it, works much the same way the the SGB does.

To elaborate, it's a full NES unit that simply relies on the SNES for nothing but controller input and power.

Otherwise, it's completely independent. The video and audio output are pass throughs and have nothing to do with the SNES.

There's not much to it.

Somehow this post will attract a certain group who will make annoying requests for supporting this...
