Thanks to Internet posts, we’ve seen the system’s original, warehouse-related discovery, and we’ve seen a mighty impressive teardown thanks to hacker extraordinaire Ben Heck. But nothing compares to seeing the “SNES-CD” hardware up close, which Ars got to do at the latest installment of the Seattle Retro Gaming Expo.

Father and son Diebold said this was the latest stop in their nationwide tour of various nerd events to show off their drool-worthy discovery. They’re plenty aware of public interest in the system, and to prove that, they also had a laptop running an emulated version of Super Boss Gaiden. That homebrew game was very recently designed with hopes of it one day running on the Nintendo PlayStation (meaning, it’s designed for the weird system’s specs). Still, to clarify: the game was not running on the Nintendo PlayStation.
