All you need is a NES (Nitendo Entertainment System) emulator as a Sugar
activity and you will be able to use any software that they produce.
There might be legal issues (the article talked about expired patents
but ignored copyrights for the old software), but those would apply just
as much to their project.

I noticed this discussion about running the xmame emulator on the XO:

Unfortunately, sharing in the other direction is totally impossible.
