Hackers never seem to run out of things to hack and challenges to overcome.  Sometimes, a hacker still has the nostalgia to bring back a memory from days gone by and turn it into something fresh and cool that jives with modern technology.

In this video, hacker 0TheRAIN0 tricks his Dell Streak Tablet into thinking that a classic SNES controller (slightly modified) is nothing more than a USB driven keypad.  With the help of an emulator, the modder is able to play Super Mario World just as it was played back in the late eighties and early nineties when it was released for various platforms…but now it is on a tiny little Android tablet.  It is a beautiful blend of the very old and the very new.
