Jekyll/Hyde Klondike Solitaire

Jekyll/Hyde Klondike is a proof of concept NES ROM with the purpose of behaving differently if played on FCEUX compared to other emulators. When played on FCEUX, the "Hyde" version of the ROM plays, which makes all games of Klondike Solitaire impossible to win, where on hardware or other emulators, the "Jekyll" version of the ROM plays, which has fair shuffles and is possible to win in.

An article discussing the proof of concept and how it was made is at the following link:
