      Are all the bugs and mistranslations there?

      Probably. The SNES CPU is only a slightly advanced version of the NES CPU. That’s why simple NES to SNES cartridge adapters exist.

        I asked because years ago, I saw a ROM for NES that took the original Japanese version and retranslated everything to English, fixing a lot of broken clues and storylines. I haven’t been able to find it again.

            That looks like it! Thanks!! I honestly don’t remember enough of the one I saw to be sure if that was the same project, but it is definitely the same concept and looks like the creator put a lot of work into it to make it perfect.
