Question

Can I use this on a Nintendo Entertainment System?

Mohax bak

Community Answer

These scripts execute batch code that is only available in Windows. NES cannot run any computer scripts, nor does it offer an editing system for programming.

Question

Can I run this on other devices by downloading something like Wine?

Community Answer

Yes, although it would be better and more streamlined to learn how to program it in the respective device's equivalent. For example, Mac computers have bash scripts instead of batch. You can learn how to do this on a Mac in about 30 minutes if you have a little command prompt experience.

Question

What are the consequences of doing this?

Thomas Ellsworth

Community Answer

There are no consequences whatsoever if you do this to your own computer, because it is fake and it cannot damage your computer. If you do this on your parent's computer though, your parents might think it is real and not fake, and you might get in trouble for it.

Can I do this on a Netbook?

Ethan Smurf

No because a netbook cannot run batch files or exe files. To be specific, a netbook is a small laptop for internet apps, not batch or exe files.
