Practically, yes. There was a zsnes exploit that did exactly this back in the day.
Was that malware ever injected into ROM websites? A whole bunch of emulators have had vulnerabilities fixed and PoC’s published, but I’m not aware of any malware groups using altered ROMs as an infection method. It’s probably much easier to infect people by hijacking emulator websites through malvertising.
Because all I know about the zsnes story was that there was a PoC and everybody kind of abandoned zsnes after that?
