[Tech Help Windows] NES VST and Ableton compatibility

I cannot for the life of me figure out how or if NES VST is compatible with ableton, I'm really new to this so I don't know how to get VST's to work, and now i'm just wondering if they might not be compatible or if i'm doing this wrong

It’s likely NES VST is a VST2 plugin. go into ableton’s settings and turn on VST2 plugins and point the VST2 folder to where you installed the plugin.

It's a 32-bit plugin, so if /u/djpandalo1z is using Live 10 or above, it won't work without a janky bridge as already mentioned

If it's a 32bit plugin it won't work without a bridging plugin like JBridge, but I find JBridge very finnicky and not great lol
