In that case, you might like one of tom7's many wonnderful videos [0], "Reverse emulating the NES to give it SUPER POWERS!" where he hacks a real NES cartridge with a raspberry pi with an emulator, then figures out how to map all of the data into NES sprites, etc. As usual for his videos, it's absolutely wonderful.

Tom7 is brilliant for anyone that hasn't seen him before. His Reverse Emulation video ( [VIDEO] ) and Weird Chess Algorithms ( [LINK] ) are a must watch. His dead pan delivery coupled with the ridiculous amount of effort he puts into things that don't _really_ matter is honestly inspiring.
