I could see it coming. The emulator installed on the famous *Nintendo and SNES Classic Mini* consoles **can run on a Raspberry Pi** because they share similarities in their hardware. Do you have one of these and want to know more?...

You won't need much to dumpe the *kernel* and everything is explained in the link at the end. With respect to your *Raspberry Pi* (could also be worth another board based on *ARM*), you need the emulator called *canoe-shvc* (when I find the download link I'll put it here), *ROMs* of games with extension *.sfrom* ([here](https://gist.github.com/anpage/4834433944a2875ee6d4cbb5786c6bf7) you have a script in *Python* to convert it) and install a few dependencies and commands, all from *Raspbian Stretch*:


sudo apt install -y libsdl2-dev
sudo ln -s /opt/vc/lib/libbrcmGLESv2.so /usr/lib/libMali.so
sudo ln -s /opt/vc/lib/libbrcmGLESv2.so /usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so

Edit the file */boot/config.txt* and add:


hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=85

Make a file *run.sh* and you can play any game with *./run.sh game.sfrom*:


#!/bin/bash
fbset -vyres 1440
./canoe-shvc -filter 3 -rom "$1"
fbset -vyres 720
xrefresh
