The community (well, a few of the alpha geeks anyway) Reverse engineered the NES10 lockout chip.

Ah, thanks clueless, that works perfectly. :) You're welcome. The general syntax is something like this: <target> <colon> <white space> <space separated list of dependencies> <cr> <tab> <commands to bring target up to date> <cr> (optional) <tab> <more commands...> <cr> <cr> // marks end of command ...

In Norfare, western part.
Secret entrance to get Screw Attack is near the same column that one uses to get the energy tank at the end of a long tube of "jello mold" thingies that Samus jumps on.

Just set this up for my own project. This is a great help, thanks for posting! Stitching something like it together with the help of google would have taken ages. How would I go about adding a manual dependency, though? E.g., I have a python script (msgs.py) that generates an assembly source file (...

I purchased my Power Pak a few weeks ago. I bought the PP and card reader from Retrousb (as you did), but I got my CF card from newegg (8GB Dane-Elec). My CF reader works fine. The CF reader that Retrousb shipped is in a blue transparent plastic shell, about 2" long, 1.25" tall and maybe 1...

Contra has similar graphics in levels 1 & 3, if you were looking for another example. I'm not stating that Contra has excellent graphics, but I've always liked them. Then again, I'm not that picky about graphics. Example: http://www.geek.com/xyzimages/stories/articlepics/side_scroll/contra_nes....

It is some marketing. Viral, idk?

I was more curious if the "screen shot" was a hacked rom, or a photoshop; if anyone here knew.

I am begining to think that using a new mapper is a flaw in the plan. It might be best to develop a dev board compatible with the already available production carts from RetroZone. What sense does that make? I don't know about everyone else, but to me the whole appeal was the more capable mapper, n...

I like the idea of using a cheap USB micro-controller to interface with a mouse and the controller port. Are there any other uses for this you can think of? It'd be strange to develop such a gizmo for a single project. Several game types lend themselves to using a mouse interface instead of a joypa...

From a "/." article, I found something NES related that is weird. http://www.nycresistor.com/ Scroll down until you find this image: http://www.nycresistor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/secret_room.jpg This text is immediately above the image: Listen up, golddigga! We got some puzzles fro...

I was thinking cursor-based The NES has no mouse without soldering. That is true. However, it would be neat to have an adapter that does one of the following: 1) Connects serial mouse to joypad2 port. Granted, there are a gazillion different serial mouse protocols out there. NES code to support a f...

I remember reading someplace that "1943" (similar to 1942) was originally written from the Japanese point of via (bombing American aircraft carriers). But when it was "ported" to the USA market, they just changed the names of the ships and missions. This is not true. In fact it ...

The clone systems that are based on the Nintendo On A Chip have inverted duty cycles. Not really. Famicom clones that were manufactured here in Brazil have swapped duty cycles, and they're not NOACs. Interesting. Would you mind posting a photo of the guts of a non-noac famiclone? I'm curious what i...
