What sort of magic is this?

One of the greatest NES emulators of all times seems that they are making it one inch of awesome better than before. Check out the the video below and feast your eye on the wonderment. It seems that this new version of the emulator will allow you to manipulate things in the game that you never could have touched before. It is all a little over my head at this time, but maybe we will all understand it better when the full version has been released.

Here is the information provided by the YouTube author:

“FCEUX is a NES emulator. It has Lua scripting support, and in the latest versions, a feature that allows you to grab input from the mouse and keyboard, outside of the “game input”.
This version isn’t finalized, and the script may still need to be re-written — check http://fceux.com , and when the new version is up you can count on the script being released here soon.
Now if we could just get FCEUX ported to the Wii…
For the “tiles” mode, it just shows you the memory address and byte value of whatever tile you’re mousing over. That’s about it.
For enemy mode… you can pick the up and throw them! Some of them won’t work right, but most of them work fine. it’s kind of fun, actually. “
