Re: Cooks of NesDev, What's Cookin?

Oh I love fishing! That's another hobby of mine, although I'm not particularly good at it. As a kid we had a fish tank with pet fish, I'd like to get into the fishkeeping hobby sometime again. And in the summers as a kid I was often fishing on the countryside at my grandparents house near the Baltic...

Re: Help with 2-byte indexing lookup table

Loading A with the hardcoded value $0C is just for the tutorial not the ASL. Later on in the tutorial you will write a music score where each note symbol represents a byte and this byte must be multiplied by two to look up the note in the note pitch table.

Re: Cooks of NesDev, What's Cookin?

I still maintain that chaos *is* the law of nature, entropy is the logical end of all physical processes, we're the one's imposing something unnatural by acting like any situation can be solved by putting it in a box. Yeah, that I can't really disagree to. Law vs chaos tends to get a very human-cen...

Re: Cooks of NesDev, What's Cookin?

Well forcing people to carry IDs may be something that can abused by those in power, but there is a balance of law and chaos necessary here. Too much law and we may have something like a dictatorship and too much chaos and we would have anarchy. I believe the showing of IDs for buying alcohol is nec...

Re: Cooks of NesDev, What's Cookin?

I've don't really remember ever have been asked for ID in a bar even in Sweden, but it happens regularly in System Bolaget as they are supposed to be strict about it (that's the whole point of the system). In Japan they couldn't care less about your age when you buy alcohol and I've never seen anyon...

Re: Family BASIC on the FDS, from the 80's

This is a very neat find. The 2 blank disks and the Tonkachi Editor disk can all be easily substituted by the FDSStick or a similar disk drive emulator. If we could get the full instructions it should also all be doable in Nintendulator NRS but not very doable in Mesen currently since it can't load ...

Re: ELI5: What can the NES HUB do?

I think the most obvious things this brings are all the Famicom 15-pin expansion port peripherals that were never released for NES. The Famicom Disk System is not one of those though, you need a 60-72-pin cartridge adapter with a very special shape that works with the FDS RAM-Adapter. Unique Famicom...

Re: How to push solid blocks using assembly language

I see, though one would still need to find some way to learn assembly (I recommend tutorials and books) as it's not something you can learn just by trying out random things, unlike with a visual interface like what Nes Maker provides.

Nope, the SNES uses an unmodified 65816 core with decimal mode fully functional.

Re: Cooks of NesDev, What's Cookin?

My parents have tried making sauerkraut, it smelled horrible. I love kimchi if it is really spicy as again I love spicy food and also cabbage. Cabbage can be used for so many good things. Well and to put on the tinfoil hat for a moment, in a society where tired, complacent workers are preferred, it ...

Re: How many color on some retro console

Yeah I often see people refer to what Drag calls the "world palette" as the "master palette" which is normally used to refer to the pool of every possible color index the the video hardware uses (64 indices on the NES, 512 indices on PC Engine and 32768 indices on 15-bit RGB syst...

Re: Cooks of NesDev, What's Cookin?

That's a good point. Haste makes waste, doing things half-assed in order to save time typically backfires and ends up giving you more work to clean up the mess, and I suppose cooking and eating is really no exception.

Re: N8 Pro NROM implementation

But you can still combine NROM with CHR RAM, even the iNES format allows this.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Meta-Disassembly

they all expect "headered" images, so iNES for the Famicom title and "FDS" for the Famicom Disk System images. I've seen FDS games distributed both with and without headers. In the latter situation (indicated by the first 16 bytes of the image including something like NINTENDO-H...
