Only if they made modifications

What, where do you get that? Any publicly conveyed copies of gpl-licensed software must make their source code available, and be published under the same license. This is true regardless of modifications.

I could be wrong and I'm more then welcome to being proven that. But wouldn't this be like asking me to redistribute the whole process of running ZSNES on linux? Seems pretty infeasible.

It would be more accurate to say it's like requiring you to make the source code for ZSNES available if you were distributing copies of ZSNES.
