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 (that is viral)


It is difficult to overstate how strongly I want to download and poke through that file, even knowing it's a bad idea.


Just unzip it and then cat the contents into aplay!


dQw4w9WgXcQ 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


Technically 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.


Oh, thanks. And that's hilarious that both work.


I 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. ;)
