The NES can only display 8 sprites per scanline. If you need to have more sprites per scanline, you'll have to rotate the order of the sprites in OAM. This will cause flickering, but at least all the sprites will be visible.

My understanding is that I need to get a licensed MMC3 game, desolder the ROM chips, and replace them with EPROMs. Now I'm thinking I should get either a TKROM or TSROM board because I should be able to support any MMC3 game that doesn't use 4-screen mirroring or...

I have a MMC3 game that needs 3 banks of PRG (16k each). However, when I build a iNES rom with 3 banks, it doesn't work. Different emulators give me different problems: Nintendulator jumps to a bad reset vector, the graphics are wrong in Nestopia, and other various things. But when I add an extra bl...
