This is certainly one area where I find AI tools to be largely beneficial. There are so many pieces of near-forgotten software that are difficult to interface with at all, let alone to decompile, debug and port and so on. I was thinking lately how useful an AI-powered editor for NES- and SNES-era games would be. The existing tile and mapper editors are generally pretty clunky IIRC.
Additional binaries are available here (Win, Mac, Android): https://galeforcegames.itch.io/aerofoil
And a Linux Flatpak version is coming soon... https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/10703
And yes, it includes the Room Editor! (For those who care, it's also human-created from the original source code.)
It is the only port (that I am aware of) that brings over the additional Room Editor app that allowed you to create and edit "house" (game) files.

Small Bug: on mobile safari, it zooms in on the page when I click the buttons in quick succession, which makes playing a bit more difficult
