Why should they do that? They already have their own SNES emulator with Canoe (used for example on the SNES Classic Mini). It is much more logical to assume that they compiled Canoe to run on Windows for this exhibition.
I have and if the code is well written and prepared then such a port can be done with just a recompilation for the different platform.
Yes, often it is not that easy but the developers at Nintendo are neither dumb nor incompetent.
Making an FPGA for all of this is far more work than pulling an open source emulator and sticking it on a machine…
Yes, but Nintendo did neither the one nor the other.
This looks a whole lot like it’s probably some random emulator they grabbed and full screened?

I take it you’ve never ported an application to a different platform running on a different hardware architecture before.
