It was explained a little more on this thread in another forum: http://www.nesworld.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1202861725 The guy who replied to my post said this: "You then need to strip the header off the ROM, split it into its PRG and CHR segments." So, I assume that means, remove the...

I didn't have to "split" anything because I was not using any video in my code, only audio. I don't really know, but it would seem logical that you should remove the header first, before doing any other editing such as splitting or copy/paste? Hopefully someone with more experience will ch...

I want through this too, but it was a little easier for me because I was only using PRG data. What hex editor do you use? There's a thread from about February where I was helped with this stuff. In my case I only had to remove the first 16 bytes right off of the very top line of my hex code. (I was ...

Custom made controller for NES

I made this custom controller for the NES a couple of months ago. It's made out of PVC and I use a pic microcontroller that reads touch sensor presses and sends data out to a shift register. The same kind of shift register used in the NES gamepad. I didn't want to destroy gamepads to use their plugs...

Yes, I knew about the blocking issues so I tried numerous times with my optonline.net e-mail and my yahoo e-mail, also through PayPal and by sending a private message through this forum, and had someone who knows him e-mail on my behalf. I'm not angry at the guy, just got a little angry that I can't...

My "deal" is exactly what I stated. Read it, you can take it to the bank. Yes it got posted and I was charged (i.e., I paid for it and never received). For some strange reason this guy won't talk to me. Actually opened a "dispute" with PayPal after 2 month went by and only after ...

Retrozone

I have been trying to contact the guy who runs RetroZone for the past 3 months. I ordered stuff from him 3 months ago which was never received. After being as nice as possible and numerous attempts to contact him I have never received a reply. I want to know why this guy won't communicate with me. I...

I might not be using the correct terminology, sorry. Pseudo code: Sequence .byte #$54,#$41,#$4B 'these bytes are assembled into consecutive locations in RAM. LDX #0 Loop: 'this would be some kind of loop LDA Sequence, X 'indexing through the "Sequence" STA in some register INX BNE Loop If ...

Storing bytes in consecutive in RAM, and then indexing.

I know some Atari assemblers allow you to use a directive to allocate a block of memory for storing consecutive bytes. They call it the ".BYTE" directive. How would you do this for the NES? I am using NESASM I would like to store bytes in consecutive memory locations and then index through...

Look at "Atari Roots" by Mark Andrews. If you can get past the title "Atari...", everything in this book applies to the NES. I've found alot of the Atari books written in the early 80's are great for learning 6502 ASM. Another one is "Machine Language for Beginners" by ...

Could you operate NES with 9V battery?

The original NES adapter says 9V 1.3A.

Would a 9V battery do the job?

Thanks,
