Honestly, it's SUPER EASY. Think about how old that tech is. Anything you can find on the curb would do the job. I'd suggest 1 GB of ram, 2.0 GHz Pentium 4, and a 40 GB hard drive.

10 bucks at a thrift store will get this done.

Start by checking out a program called zsnes. It's a super nintendo emulator. Goolgle it and read about it and I'm sure within an hour or so, you'll know exactly what to do.

Think of how old that tech is. You could save a computer from the junk yard and it'll do the job. I get rigs like this for free all the time.
