    The FCEUX “Music PulseWave” Lua script, running on top of the ROM flyer for a November 2007 PulseWave concert in NYC.

    The script turns the non-interactive ROM into a rhythm game. The program automatically analyzes the music, displaying each of the NES’s four audio channels as a bar at the top of the screen. I don’t really understand the interface or the scoring, but the gameplay is as simple as pressing the A button to the beat of the song. It apparently works for other games too — here’s Music PulseWave on top of Journey to Silius.

    And UI found the intial thread with the source:

    For the intrigued:
