sounds cool. I'll give it a shot. Hope I can make the deadline.

btw, what constitutes a puzzle/logic game? Is finding your way out of a maze considered a puzzle?

Howdy. I started messing with CA65 the other day and I got a little test rom to assemble. I had a few questions about segments and how best to use them. Question 1: First, let's assume I have a UNROM .cfg layout like this (compliments of SecretServiceDude . Thanks man!): MEMORY { M_ZEROPAGE: start =...

I'll take one for the team and test the waters.

Very cool! I second Celius's suggestion about drawing intermediate steps so that it looks like you are moving.

Would this work?

If so, you can get them for less than a buck a pop if you get more than 20.

Internal API used by update_sound(): update_music() - Interprets sequence data. update_instrument(X=channel_id) update_sound_effect(X=channel_id) Then it's easy to have sound effects interrupt music properly: First call update_instrument(), then have update_sound_effect() overwrite the duty+volume ...

1UP: Yeah. These songs are so energetic -- they're over so quickly, but I'm sure it was a lot of work to create them. HM: We were creating the music in hexadecimal. It goes 1 to 9 then A to F. Yeah, nostalgia...that's what I feel from this. For Contra, we developed a way to create an echo sound wit...

Reading $2002 resets the hi/low latch for $2005 and $2006. For example, when writing a VRAM address to $2006, you write it high byte first, then low byte. If the hi/lo latch is out of sync, you'll end up writing your high byte when the PPU thinks it is getting the low byte. So you read $2002 first t...

Even if your goal isn't to make your own game, grabbing a NES programming tutorial or two and working through them can really get you up to speed on the basics of how the NES works and how the CPU talks to the other parts. You'll learn how to find the RESET code, how to read joypads, how to communic...

I like the teleport room theme the best.

For this reason it's good to have a tempo that's easily adjustable. And in NTSC songs you'll want to make it so the tempo is not at max speed (at max 5/6 of max speed so you can convert it to PAL). I'm not quite sure what you're doing for tempo, but I have a system where I specify one byte as the t...

I'm not normally a fan of love songs, but this one was great!

I'm glad you found it so useful :) . Even enough to print it out! That makes me happy to know I made something worth printing on actual paper. Yes, well worth printing out! I keep it in my backpack right next to blargg's APU reference :) So how off were the values? Did they vary from more than to l...

Nice. Thanks a lot for making these tables Celius! No problem. Like I said, I decided to make them because I wanted to look at them as references, but I thought the NESDev community might make some use out of them. Glad I was right :) . Turns out to be useful in more ways than one. I was tracing th...

Nice. Thanks a lot for making these tables Celius!
