NES Tutorial
I'm about to start learning 6502 assembly, got a big book for it, but just wondering if you can point me to some NES specific tutorials. I've tried the ones over on Nintendoage but they seem a lot too fast.
The NES 101 tutorial at the bottom of this page was a big help in getting me going:

Re: NES Tutorial
As far as 6502 assembly goes, I primarily use this site for reference. The section on 6502 opcodes really comes in handy.mmcg wrote:I'm about to start learning 6502 assembly, got a big book for it, but just wondering if you can point me to some NES specific tutorials.

Personally, I find this one slightly more organized and well formatted.SecretServiceDude wrote:The section on 6502 opcodes really comes in handy.

Another good 6502 document that I refer to quite often is this one:

But that other one that Tokumaru linked to is the other one I use for timing information.

Re: NES Tutorial
Yeah I use that one, mainly for a quick reference, but for precisions i use this manual http://users.telenet.be/kim1-6502/6502/proman.html. This manual was designed for the KIM computer, but for course it's a 6502 (the very first computer to use it in fact). Very well organised, various examples, lot of details for exact execution of the opcodes. But none of these guides warn you about the fatal jump indirect from end of page.tokumaru wrote:Personally, I find this one slightly more organized and well formatted.SecretServiceDude wrote:The section on 6502 opcodes really comes in handy.

It's a pretty awkward time for me to just to jump into this thread considering how many posts there are but I wanna know somethin'.
What's the title of that book, mmcg?
Do you think it's any good?
If so, I'd like some info on it so I can get my hands on it via "The Usual Methods", If you know what I mean.

It's this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Assembly-Langua ... 676&sr=8-1ironfist61 wrote:It's a pretty awkward time for me to just to jump into this thread considering how many posts there are but I wanna know somethin'.

I've not started it, so don't really know if it's any good, but I've been told (after buying that one) that the one to go for is the one by the guy who designed the chip.
And I tried getting them via the usual methods, but couldn't find anything.
Cheers for all the links guys.
