ROM Hack Contra 4 as NES emulator

[Wekker]

since the game Contra 4 got ingame feature to play 2 NES game
why not make use of this feature, like to hack Contra 4 BONUS CONTENT menu, to let the game to prompt more than 2 NES games. i dont know much about hacking, but i think it is possible to copy and paste the code to reproduce more slot to play NES games

maybe because nesds is better and it's support dldi ?

That's possible.. but there are already some good NES emulators out there, so I don't think it's worth the trouble..

Id like to see that. NesDS is good but there are some features in Contra 4 that NesDS doesnt have, like playing the nes game in the correct aspect ratio and scrolling up and down using the shoulder buttons.

Is there any benefit to potentially using Contra 4 as an emu?

Using NitroExplorer you can easily replace the .NES ROMs in Contra 4 and try it. It even runs so games that NesDS can't.

As I remember, People found out that Contra actually uses NesDS itself.

Its based off the PocketNES core which was made by the same programmers prior to NESDS I believe.

Does it run TMNT 2 (the arcade one) flawlessly? NESds has missing sprites

It's too bad you can't save using the built-in emulator on Contra 4 though :\ . Otherwise I would've stuck in both Zelda games.

I suppose you could, as long as it is an actual emulation, and who's sure it is? Many re-makes of games completely redo the source, because most EMU is too unrelaiable. EIther that, or they alter the source to make it sun right in their particular Emu. Best to stick with nesDS i'd say.

EDIT - Woops, totally misinformed (only read the first post) XD
I was going off of my cousin whos neighbor did the Sonic Mega Collection, and had to redo a lot of that game Blue Sphere to make it run in-sync w/ the gamecube.
