Oh hey! This is pretty cool. I would've reverse-engineered Punch Out myself, because of a project I'm currently working on, but after doing it for Hydlide (which was a HUGE mess), I lost the will to disassemble any more NES games. :lol: So, I resorted to using a stopwatch to roughly time things in P...

I want to make sure that what I'm going for reads as intended, and that I'm not fooling myself. Looks like an alleyway, with a punk character? My only critique to give, is that the colors are a bit bland. I'd suggestion reading up on color theory a bit. Here's a nice diagram, that shows the general...

Ooh, this has a cute artstyle!

Gameplay-wise, it looks a lot like the MS-DOS game "Freakin Funky Fuzzballs", yes that's it's real name.

Surprisingly, this game was developed by Sir-Tech, of all companies!

Didn't Notch make a NES-like Minecraft game, for Ludum Dare, a few years back? Edit: I found it: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=398 He had kept things simple, with each region split into different Overworld maps, separated by staircases. (Underground, Overworld, Sky) So...

Agreed, the new hero doesn't fit in. Instead of agreeing with the bgs, he looks like a cross between Famicom Wars and modern pixelcrap. I disagree. If the knight looked like modern pixel crap, he'd look like this: https://i.imgur.com/DCHckYg.png Big head, no face, and thin, noodly limbs. (It physic...

I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played circa 1999-2002. It's a windows card game, in anime style (probably hentai, I think). The card game's name is Daifugō (大富豪, Grand Millionaire) or Daihinmin (大貧民, Grand Pauper) or President. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daifug%C5%8D Hmm... Was it S...

And so on and so forth. And yet, nobody has ever seen anything of your games besides screenshots. Isn't this strange? You were rude and dismissive towards my Castlevania game, so I didn't bother sending you a link to the demo. (I *did* send links to at least 2 other users, here.) The large majority...

Hello, happy march 31, 8 days before the world ends.

Then I guess you don't have enough time to learn NES development.

I finished my first NES game in only 3 days, to learn attributes, back when I was still making Cat Quest. 8 days is plenty of time.

The chances you'll ever need bit reversing in real-life applications are very small. If you need it somewhere, the odds that you designed something badly are very big. Depends on what you're doing with it. When I wrote an Atari 2600 game a few years ago, I had used both bit-reversal and masking, to...

My roguelike project "Tower of Algol" that was lost, used lives to be as NES-like as possible. The player started with 3 lives, and upon death, they could choose to retry the current dungeon, with a small penalty, or have the game generate a completely new dungeon, but keep everything they had earne...

Can you expand on this? I don't get it. BTW: saw online some art for Cat Quest and it looks superb. Hope you can finish it some day. Oh... I thought it was pretty obvious from the way I laid it out! :P (The row on the bottom of that image shows how the metatiles are arranged, in the ROM.) Each bit ...

Looks neat! :D I assume that this is more of an RPG styled thing? Hmm... How are your maps stored? For Cat Quest, I had used a rectangle and line RLE scheme, along with a simple auto-tile format, to really make the best use out of the 32KB (The autotiles abused bit positions, requiring no additional...

Here's a heavily optimized Atan2 demo I had put together a while back, for my (unpublished) NES programming tutorial: demo_atan2_4.nes Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced the source code, when upgrading from my old laptop to a more powerful desktop PC. Oops. EDIT: (Forgot to list the controls, j...

Huh, this is neat! I always found the xxx-in-1 cartridges fascinating.

Congratulations on creating a NES Maker, that actually does exactly as advertised!

Hacker International eventually used their know-how of Nintendo's hardware, to make hentai games. So, I approve.
