You thought that was cool? SethBling (of Super Mario World Credits Warp fame) did a single nested version of this (in Super Mario World, of course), where he reprogrammed the SNES to play Flappy Bird. By hand.

I actually saw that one a while ago. IMO this is what the word "pwned" was meant to describe. When someone has not only exploited a machine, but has literally become it's master to such an extent that they are playing games at that point, abusing the original purpose of the console into this tormented, bastardized version to display memes from a twitch chat, or play a clone of a shitty phone game.

  It should be noted that he didn't create the hack, it's something that's been fairly well known. What he did was accomplish it manually, whereas all previous solutions automated it via virtualized controller inputs.

    Yes. I did (try) to point that out. But the fact that he did it by hand was really cool.

      absolutely, and if I recall, he did it his first live try. It was definitely impressive but as a software person I'm more impressed by the ones who came up with the hack itself.
