Ran across this site today: Famicom: http://setsumei.html.xdomain.jp/famicom/ FDS: http://setsumei.html.xdomain.jp/disk/ Super Famicom: http://setsumei.html.xdomain.jp/superfamicom/ No scans, but seems to have detailed transcriptions of many Japanese manuals. The missing art and screenshot photos se...

Ignoring the bit shifts and pretending they're just multiplication/division by 2, the original idea boils down to * 819 / 8192 , which makes a lot of sense. However, this doesn't quite work when just truncating because 819 < (0.10 * 8192) , so the effect of those bit shifts is doing some important r...

I like lidnariq's alternative. I was kinda struggling to think about how to reasonably display all this data on the screen at once, which is why I split it into two ROMs, one for each port, and also why I kept it to 16 bits. I also wanted logs instead of immediate, just cause I've dealt with transie...

Cause I wanted something to verify input with, I made a simple generic test ROM that just reads 16 bits from all 5 data lines and displays it on the screen, logging each frame row by row. ctrltest4016.png CTRLTEST Brad Smith, 2020 ctrltest4106.nes ctrltest4017.nes This is a simple test ROM to check ...

I think the Blu Ray AACS encryption keys might be a closer analogy? Notably the claims made against the sharing of these seemed to be entirely about it being a way to circumvent anti-piracy measures, something protected by the DMCA, and not actually about any copyright claim on the encryption keys. ...

Who has the hardware to play a VRC7 NSF to settle this? I don't have an easy setup for playing arbitrary NSFs through carts (wish I had a TNS thingie) but in my post directly above is a recording of a hotswap test demonstrating every preset patch in several pitches against nukeykt's dump. I have co...

One of my favourite that mixes PSG + DAC was this Yu-Gi-Oh: Eternal Duelist Soul soundtrack.

IMO Nesticle's most glaring sound problem is the noise channel, which doesn't account for anything going on above the 44.1kHz samplerate. The noise channel goes up to about 450kHz so there's a big disparity between how that sounds with and without that. DPCM is affected by the same problem, especial...

Well, for SNES there was the MSU1 homebrew expansion that has been put to use for FMV many times now. IIRC it started off as an emulator extension, but was later implemented on flash carts like SD2SNES.

Example: Super Road Blaster

There was this thing that a Netflix employee did as well, but it's not a very interesting demo.

Ah! I had no idea Nintendulator has had SNES Mouse support all along!!!

So, my question(s) are: Is there a general (and user-friendly) way that you can thing of supporting both NTSC and PAL, while maintaining some sort of fine-grained control over note cuts and the occasional note delay? Were games actually using the same exact music data for both regions, or do you th...

Yeah, I have a socketed ReproPak board that I sometimes use for testing. The socketed chips won't fit in the cartridge shell (need to make a hole for them) but they do manage to squeak by under the bar, just barely. ...though I later removed the bar entirely because I put in a Blinking Light Win con...

I always thought the intended purpose for that is complex macros where you want to insert different/simpler code if possible. I can't offer a practical example, though, because I don't like to use complex macros. Kind of surpringly, it seems completely absent from Movax12's high level assembly macro...

Yes, that's pretty normal. A lot of the way ca65 works seems modelled on C practices like that.
