I tried playing the game with a friend in the next city with Nestopia (I had a kaillera server on my other machine). It worked fine, except my friend complained about the ingame sounds being strange. I added a page on the nesdev wiki today: http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Super_PakPak . Have you ...

tokumaru: I think Worms would be possible on the NES. At least there is a gameboy version of it, which isn't that bad. Kreese: UNROM donor cart is fine, but I actually start to feel bad for destroying an existing cart:) Four score was tested, but also a famicom-style multitap should work. arfink: No...

Hello, I have been working on this NES game project for a while now. It is an entry for Assembly Summer 2010 gamedev competition to be held in Helsinki, Finland. The archive is here: http://media.assembly.org/gamedev/2010/super_pakpak_by_aoh_games.zip The other entries are here (mine is the only NES...

Even so, your schematics are more clear than all the documentation regarding the IRQ counter, it really cleared a few things up for me. Do you still want MMC1? I posted a really rough (a few errors) implementation just a little while ago, I will fix them and repost if you like :D The IRQ part is ac...

thanks, not sure when I'll be back again, though

ur welcome, the MMC3 is a mess. It was actually the first thing I ever did with that software.. and when I got it to work, I did not bother tidying it ..

Hi,
been too busy but the files are available at

if someone gets something out of them

Not much. Waiting for some new boards to come from the factory...
Been busy with my studies. Basically only the PC software needs to be improved. And there is still no MMC1...

Just want to say Maxim/Dallas never sent me my DS1218S :\ at least I still haven't received it after a few months. Guess it'll have to be purchased. Funny, because I always get my samples from there. Well, the new board will accept a DIP DS1210 and a DIP DS1218 too. I burned one I/O-pin from the CP...

Well, thats not so bad. Consider that there are only less than 30 non-Famicom NES games that use 512KB or more. Actually most of my MMC3 implementations require that you mirror the whole ROM to 512KB.. that it can find the start of the code from the last bank ;) How is the MMC1 coming? MMC1 still i...

Now burning a 512KB game takes 5 minutes. I am also thinking of combining the USB cable board and the Flash Cart board... So there would be just one board needed, and the new board would use SMD chips instead of the PDIP ones that are too hard to find.

I just got the USB cable working and the JTAG support working, but it still needs a lot of software. It does not burn flashes yet, but it will burn them today. Then i'll need to code the mapper writing too, which will be kind of hard ;_; ***EDIT*** Now the speed is around 512 Bytes/Sec for AM29F040B...

AM29F040B (2) - $15-25 total - hard to find! I am going to design the new software in a way that it's easy to add algorithms for other Flash EEPROMs. But at least that one is guaranteed to work. Memblers gave me this: http://findchips.com ... It finds a lot of AM29F040B, but not many PDIPs.. there ...

If it's stable without the decoupling caps then I could care less. Is that all the SMD caps are used for? Yep, only for the decoupling. They are recommended by Xilinx but I was too lazy to put them on the new board and it did work well without them. But I still recommend that you solder them on the...

What is the ICT IC? a MCU? Will the programmer need to be connected to the cart via a 10pin IDC cable? I have no tools or skills for crimping IDC. ICT one is an EEPROM for the USB chip. But that one was not recommended for it and it didn't work (Microchip 93LC46B or something is, still checking it ...

Will this also function as a JTAG cable too or just work with FunkyFlash? $15 sounds too fair shipped, are you sure you can do this? Now where can I obtain the FT2232? Which package is it? FTDI chips are pretty hard to find in the US. You're going to make me buy a new soldering iron for this projec...
