I am not so sure that you should put everything in the zero page, although clearly some things should be put. Also it depend what mapper you are using, how the bank switching works (if you are using such a mapper at all), since it might be sufficiently efficient depending on the case. How many times...

We don't need submappers for MMC5, because no hardware relies on the variation. In the case that we do discover some future variation that isn't one of the four you've outlined, by allocating all four bits as a bitmap, you've precluded the ability to allocate submappers for that future hardware. Th...

Did you use my ideas for the submapper number of MMC5? The intention of this specification is that all known games (with the possible exception of some very recent homebrew games) can be emulated correctly (note: this does not necessarily mean that the cartridge is actually configured this way; the...

I have seen once some forum has an option in the user setting to display messages as they are written or with the changes made. I would like to have that; I don't like these censors. (What I have seen actually also had a separate option for sending and receiving, so the sender has to disable the cen...

I like having the date on there, and having a screenshot isn't so bad either (although, if you have a lot of save files, there might not be room to display all of them at once; you also need to store the screenshot in each save file so it will also use disk space). Actually these are something I wan...

I use vim. I think it is good. Here are some of the things I like:

• Numeric prefixes and many kind of motion-based commands.
• Ability to call external programs to affect it.
• Regular expressions.
• Split screen.
• Many other stuff, too. I just think this kind of user interface is better.

I can understand what some would see as an advantage of RacerMate Challenge -style battery-backed CHR RAM over self-flashable ROM: it's less likely to cause program loss in case of a severe program defect discovered only after everything has shipped. Mapper register also mirrored at $1xxx and $3xxx...

I read the documentation for GTROM, and my suggestions are to have a variant as following: Mapper register also mirrored at $1xxx and $3xxx (and don't care if it is a read or write). (This causes it to overlap RAM mirrors. There are advantages to overlapping the RAM mirrors in this way.) No rewritin...

OK. I thought of a different way to implement printing, which is to connect the tape port to a fax machine, but will that even work? I don't know.

What I think should be fix is if you lose then you can start again the same level (reset the score and everything else in the level how it is when level is starting, except how many hearts you have is refilled to four), rather than game over. (Some other computer games are doing like that, too. Some...

I use a custom CSS on my end to customize the dark theme, removing all of the icons and animations and most of the rounded corners and a lot of other stuff, making so that more stuff can fit on the screen at once. I can add my own text indications with such codes like: .topic_unread_locked::before {...

I think making it with NNTP would fix many of these problems. Then you can use your own software with your own theme. Maybe have both the NNTP interface and the HTML interface, and then you can have the best of both. In theory, it should be possible to make a menu show and hide itself with a click u...

You can change to a dark theme in the user settings, but that won't quite restore it. Another thing you can do is User CSS (set it up in your web browser; you may need an extension). I have made many changes on my own computer, so that more stuff will fit on the screen at once, and other stuff. Howe...

I think that NNTP is much better than web forum and mailing list (and IRC is better than Discord); however, you could also have multiple interfaces to the same messages if wanted (although, when posting messages by NNTP you must ensure that the message ID and other stuff is not mangled by doing so)....

Why should the heart be kept as part of the cloak? It seem like is clearly separate to me (although maybe the cloak would have its own heart on it; if it is a hole, then it wouldn't be like that). Also it look like cloak is caught on one rabbit ear, and is also seems to be crossing through their hai...
