You need some sort of hardware to play the game. A NOAC would fit in the cart and replicate the needed hardware found in a NES to play the game.

The Cartridge has information in it. The NOAC or NES has to decode that information into Audio, Video, Clock, Data, and Latch. (Clock, data, and latch are actually decoded into certain button signatures using the IC in the controller)

Think about it this way friend,

If your way was possible, no one would ever have to buy game systems, only games. When you wanted to play, say, Halo, or, ummmmm, Super Mario 64, you would just plug the cart into the TV. However, we bot hknow this is impossible, becuse the TV needs the NES (or whatever system) to decode the infomation on the cart or CD/DVD into something that can be shown on a screen.

However, with the size of NOACs these days, you probually could fit a Famicom game circiut board and a Power Player III into a old NES cart, and you'd be able to play excitebike all day long, and only excitebike! Only!
