How to install the original super Mario (lemmy.world)

I know, stupid AF that I can’t get it to work. For the life of me, I’m not able to play the game on the pc. Of course I can just play in the browser, but I wanted to install it on my Linux machine and fire it up whenever I wanted to. I haven’t tried for a while, but I remember trying a couple of months earlier and there was an app that installed and launched but my controller wouldn’t work with it. I know about super tux, but I wanted Mario. There is only snapcraft app to install called mari0, but I don’t use snaps. Could someone please help me get it installed without going through the whole retro arch thing? Thank you

Assuming Debian

sudo apt install nestopia

Find any ROM file for the NES game online for download (.nes extension). Load it into the program.

I have the ROM. Tried nestopia, and it’s the one that didn’t work with my controller no matter what I tried.

There are many others. Try fceux and mednafen

Ok, thank you. I’m going to check those two out and see. Much appreciated
