The Action Rocky is indeed mysterious and interesting. It can be fully set to English, but I don't know if there's a menu option anywhere. Instead, if you dump the entire Rocky ROM, and change hex location $1CA91 (raw, no iNES header) from 01 -> 00, all the menus will be in English. If you figure ou...

Perhaps Kirby's Adventure counts?

Also, off the top of my head: Remote Control, Gimmick!, Cocoron, parts of Panic Restaurant, and T&C Surf Design

2600 Adventure is named after the adventure game Colossal Cave Adventure , based on the original adventure game Adventure . They're one and the same. If you wince at all the repeated use of that word you find ill-defined, then that's my point: it's inextricable at this point from the genre, its hist...

The first adventure game was literally called "ADVENT.EXE" ie: "Adventure". Sorry, dudes, give up. This is not the hill you want to die on.

Nintendo had an even tighter grasp on the supply chain in Japan during the NES and SNES eras. Nintendo franchised game stores received at least 10 times as much stock as independent stores in exchange for letting Nintendo dictate pricing, game placement, signage, etc. Yup. Independent shops signing...

I wonder how the Graffiti-like interface works? Nothing else looked too unusual. There are two ways to "free-form" draw on the Titler. The first is when you are using Famicom games, the stylus pad and the buttons on the side are the only ways to "interact" (if you can call it that) with the Famicom...

Thanks you all for the replies. A table it is. BTW, why does wla give an error for this: table: .db 00 lda table,x I'm used to using the y reg when reading from tables. Perhaps code cannot be in the 1st column of text (reserved for labels and assembler directives) and thus needs spaces or a tab bef...

The power board perhaps also needs a quick fix. Shown here: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php? ... 98#p129898

But yeah, if a disk doesn't LOAD, then it's most likely losing its data.

That's a very cool project! Makes me want to buy a printer just to try out coding for the interface.

Try turning off all savestate / Up+Select to reset, etc. functionality that the Everdrive provides. Perhaps its ingame controller reading is interfering with or blanking out the expansion controller's data going to the game.

"Forbidden" colors $0D - forbidden black is used in Game Genie, Maniac Mansion (NES port), Skate or Die 2, The Immortal $1D - no examples (blacky) $2D - no examples (dark grey) $3D - no examples (light grey) $2D - Used liberally in Three Stooges (eg. title screen) $3D - Grey wall in 1st stage of To...

A little reminder that "Q-TAI" is an incorrect transcription.

That's a pretty fun and impressive physics simulation!

Welcome here!

(the core meaning of 太 is something like "greatest", "grand", "very", "thick" or "fat") where 太 is read as "ta" ("tai" is also possible, but it looks like there are furigana above it which explains the reading). No, it's more like sound association with the words "compuTER" and "kid" or "boy". Thin...

Bravo! Thanks for your work.
