Well that is a common social vulnerability of the Hacker News crowd: if you give a link to some binary file for any retro system people here will install an emulator it runs on and execute it, ever if you say that it's actually a viral payload. For example: http://swiftlytilting.com/downloads/PCM.demo.wgraphics.zip http://swiftlytilting.com/downloads/PCM.demo.wgraphics.zip (that is viral)
- hexaga 6y agoIt is difficult to overstate how strongly I want to download and poke through that file, even knowing it's a bad idea.
- Dylan16807 6y agoJust unzip it and then cat the contents into aplay!
- exikyut 6y agodQw4w9WgXcQ alert!! :) That is cool. It's even a valid NES cartridge according to `file`. Nice. I needed `aplay -f 16` FWIW. I shall respond with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJgNpm8cTE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJgNpm8cTE8
- Dylan16807 6y agoTechnically you want to increase the sample rate (to around 14.5kHz) rather than change the depth to 16, but yeah it basically works either way.
- exikyut 6y agoOh, thanks. And that's hilarious that both work.
- a_t48 6y agoI tried to run it in my homegrown emulator - sadly it crashed because I haven't implemented mapper 2 (and bank swapping). If it's what I think it is though, you're right, very viral. ;)
