Is there a two player smb hack? Running nestopia on my old thinkpad. I have two nes controllers and I thought it would be fun to do. If not what is the earliest Super Mario game that has two player?
the arcade game mario bros. If you want a two player side scroller, the "new super mario" games do that.

I believe the earliest version of SMB1 that could conceivably be played with two players simultaneously would be supertux.
However, it seems to have some limited elements of SMB 3 or 4 mixed in.

You havin' a giggle m8? You posted an unmodified screenshot showing that the vanilla game does indeed have a two-player mode.

I think OP meant he wants simultaneous co-op.

I think I have read about someone wanting to make a hack like that some time ago, I'm not ure if he got stuck in the planning phase or if he actually started working on it, but he went in detail about all the issues he was facing or going to face. From simple stuff like pallete's limitations, to more complex shit like no memory avaiable due to the way the game was coded.
In the end the guy dropped the project saying it would be easier and faster to just code a SMB clone with a simultaneous multiplayer mode from scratch.
Check out Super Mario Bros X, it's a fangame with simultaneous coop.
