  • Amazing tool!

    I don't use to review plugins, but this one it's just amazing. It works perfectly (depends on your theme maybe requieres some customization). Great work and congrats to the author!

  • My roms didn't work

    I would upload them without issue, but when I made them live, they wouldn't load.

    Fun little plugin to bring some Super Mario to WordPress. Just be careful of the spammy sites where the .nes ROMs are available. Thanks for your work here!
