Not any emulator I’m familiar with. It upscaled it like it was a regular photo, not a screenshot of a digital program. Emulators would upscale by even multiples to keep things looking clean & sharp, and even if they were poorly scaled up they would just look blurry but normal.
This upscaling interpolates information and rounds out pixels in a really unnatural way.
This is slop. Or a sloppified screenshot. Why?
You’ve never played Soper Morio?
Soper Morio Point is my favorite video gome
Why is it slop?
Because it’s AI upscaled the very least. That’s not what an NES screenshot looks like.
I see. Does it not look like that when upscaled by an emulator?

Are you familiar with scaling shaders? There are several that are designed specifically to round out pixels, like superSAI, XBR4x, or HQ4x.
Personally I think they’re hideous, but some people do use them. It’s not AI.
These upscaling filters have been around for 20+ years. They’re not AI.
