Is it just me, or is it odd for there to be over 3KB of space in the beginning of the file? Suppose it might just be for filling the rom, but wouldn't they usually pad the end or repeat?

I've only played the game a bit on the atari, so wouldn't know, just thought it odd (also, it was flashing). Still not sure of the point of the game, guess it's just find keys, unlock castle, avoid dragon (well, looks more like a duck to me...)

Bug or not?

Why does it seem like all the tutorials on nes deving are written by people who are still learning themselves? Just a guess, but a good way to learn/memorize something is to go through it step by step, making a tutorial does that fairly well I think. I hope there's more PowerPAKs available soon. Sh...

Right below the 2 in 8902 IIRC

That dragon still looks like a duck to me...

For splitting I use a quick script (well, it's part of my header fixing/cleaning script) that reads the header, then splits the chr and prg into different strings. IIRC ucon64 can split a rom into pasofami format though, so using that is easy enough if you can't script something

IIRC it's hardware, but not entirely sure.

The resistance needed seems to vary per board revision. IIRC I went with 120 ohms after the recommended 500 ohms stopped it from functioning. It'd be interesting to see which values work best on which models.

That might be what I'm thinking of then...or not! Only the internet knows

IIRC someone has already made a discrete 6502 using transistors, right? Can't remember the site though

Are you taking into account the four bytes at the beginning of the file that contain the number of entries present? Missed that when I looked through the original code to find out the db format. Database all working now, need to code a little bit for inserting the data into the NES 2.0 header forma...

Whoops, you're right, ~5075, must've been reading the wrong line of my debug output

Edit: On closer look, I must be handling the database wrong, getting a lot of duplicate CRCs

NES 2.0 spec is still here. Yes, an upgrade utility would be nice. I built a header cleaner/upgrader based on Nestopia's database, but that only had ~200 entries
