Ooh, sigh, 4 years old; sorry Sir Fiskbit.

Following tepples advice, 1.) You’d need to compile asm6.c using a C compiler on your Mac. 2.) Then use that Mac ready asm6.exe, created in step1, to assemble your game.asm into a game.nes file. On windows, I type something like: asm6 game.asm game.nes Though, the asm6 assembler has flags you can in...

Hmmm… that’s interesting; but, OnStar is not the same as a cell phone.

True… true. Yes, the maker can work around the technology they create, but I trust Apple. Kind of like I trust Nintendo; I’ve agreed to their user agreement and have a Nintendo online account.

They both have made great products that I really enjoy. (That’s NOT why I trust them. )

Others keep touting the "indispensable" conveniences of a smartphone.  To me, they're not worth putting up with the surveillance note: iPhones have a way to monitor “surveillance”. If a tiny orange dot appears at the top of the phone, that alerts that the microphone is activated/being use...

Really cool! My sister has a black belt in karate and taekwondo; my body isn’t flexible enough for martial arts… and I didn’t want to improve my flexibility that much.

What exactly is there to do outside these days? :P Hmmm… there’s countless things to do outside. :) Examples from me: i.) There is an outside water filter next to our house. The original pipe transferring water between it and our house became problematic bc the water filter output is higher than ou...

We have long known that mobile phones were a potential health risk, but the discussion became a lot more quiet in recent years. I remember they eventually said that the new phones were much safer and the discussion died down, but that was only the word on the street. Hmmm… mobile phones WERE a pote...

Sry again. I DIDN’T ever work for Steve Jobs; rather, my dad did read his autobiography and I was just relaying info I heard.

I feel odd here. (This is a short note to give my small opinion.) Steve Jobs was an excellent perfectionist interesting hard boss. He often fired people for failing a task. He hired a guy; told him what needed to be done; and the hired worker came up with a solution. Though, Sir Jobs didn’t mention ...

Maybe it could be the difference in the games. Mario is single player, unless you select a 2 player game; in only a 2 player Mario game, both ports work. And, port 2 only works while Luigi is on the screen… I think that’s correct at least; I don’t remember both ports being able to control the menu. ...

ummm… well, (I’m using asm6; whatever I write should be translatable, I think, into a form for your assembler. Though, you are using a compiler; so, I’m honestly unsure how 6502 math works in a compiler.) Pointers can be used to point to any location; though, they usually must sit in zero page so th...

Any invention you’d like to see made? And, from my title: toothpaste ISN’T possible to invent bc it’s already invented :) Furthermore, be aware that shared ideas aren’t owned by anyone. Feel free to share desired inventions you can’t /have-no-desire-to create. I don’t want someone to lose a patient ...

acronyms: NMI == Non-Maskable Interrupt IRQ == Interrupt ReQuest As tokumaru said, NMI is vblank. It can be enabled/disabled by changing a certain bit in a PPU address. Vblank is an excellent opportunity to adjust the PPU as it’s dormant then; but, vblank doesn’t last for a long time (it seems quite...

However, after several futile attempts of trying to get the activation email Are you using a VPN? Sometimes my VPN ip address is considered bad by some sites. I was just thinking that maybe your VPN ip address was awarded a bad badge by 6502.org, and so maybe that’s why you weren’t sent an activati...
