The SNES is old enough that any hankering to play Super Mario World can be satisfied entirely by emulator. Still, [[link]] here’s a USB hack that lets you plug old carts to 
a PC.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Hackaday reader Matthias rigged up this solution, which makes the cart show up [[link]] on a PC as an external drive with the ROM file inside. From there, it’s playable on one’s choice of emulator. Admittedly, the number of cases in which one has a working cart but no working console, and a working emulator but no working ROM, are probably quite low. But I [[link]] remember Dad asking me what was the point – when free WiFi is so plentiful – of jailbreaking my iPhone and rigging it to serve as a dialup modem for my laptop. “Self esteem,” I said. In other words, whatever this thing does for you isn’t important; the thing you made it do, however, is. Good work, Matthias. USB Reader for
