Re: $2002 reads

Welp, going pure C for pure speed. So using classes won't work, but I'll definitely think about making a Bus structure. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm writing an nes emulator and just finished the cpu. I was looking at general structures for updating the screen; so far I have seen: 1. render 3 pixels every cpu cycle; supposed to be very accurate but also slow 2. render a scanline at a time; maintains some accuracy but and speeds u...

There it says that the VBlank bit gets reset after every read from the $2002 status register. I had already...
