I'm super new to Assembly, what are these templates for exactly? If it's a template for making a NES game, why is there more than one? Thanks.

A template is just something to help getting started with a project.

So, for example, let's say you want to make a small game, without any mapper:
Use nrom (the size of Super Mario Bros, Kung Fu, etc)

nrom is 32k (2x16) of code, 8k of chr rom. <-- start here :)

unrom allows you to add additional (in this case 8x16k) program memory and switch whenever you need to.

cnrom allows you to switch between 4 different chr rom banks in 8k sections.

Yeah, these are just "skeletons" you can use to get started. They already generate .nes files in the correct format to be used with NES emulators. They don't have any code though, you have to write that part.

There are different templates because there are different types of NES cartridges, with different hardware configurations. These templates cover the most common configurations used by beginners.

According to this topic I used .pad instead of .org
Is it ok?

How much and how limit program memory can you put? As big as Dragon Quest [Around 1MB] or 10000000000000 times bigger than that? Or it's purely limited, to the point where you can't put like 6502KB anymore? I forgot which templates is the infinite memories and infinite sprites, graphics, and backgrounds.

_________________
I am thinking of requesting a tutor [free] to learn NES programming in 6502 Assembly, as I am still baffled on the Bunnyboy 6504 lessons. If anyone want to help, I'm happy.
Bear in mind I may act silly or have trouble understanding, so please bear with me.

The PowerPak is limited to 512 KiB PRG ROM and 512 KiB CHR ROM/RAM. So are 8-bit parallel flash ROMs designed for 5.0 V PCBs.

Going beyond that depends on whether or not you want to keep the execute-in-place (XIP) architecture. If you're willing to change it so that most of the program is loaded from NAND flash memory into RAM, with only a small "boot sector" stored in a ROM, you can go into the gigabytes.

Dragon Quest 4 is 512k PRG ROM (and 8k CHR RAM, and 8k SRAM)

Isn't Kirby's Adventure considered the largest licensed NES game?

I guess Kirby gets the reputation of being the largest *NES* game because the others are Famicom only, and Action 52 is not even licensed.
