It is difficult to overstate how strongly I want to download and poke through that file, even knowing it's a bad idea.

dQw4w9WgXcQ alert!! :)

That is cool. It's even a valid NES cartridge according to `file`. Nice. I needed `aplay -f 16` FWIW.

Technically you want to increase the sample rate (to around 14.5kHz) rather than change the depth to 16, but yeah it basically works either way.

Oh, thanks. And that's hilarious that both work.
