That would require a metric butt-ton of ROM and a custom mapper, but that would be wicked-sweet

Maybe if you developed a mapper that could swap nametable ROM at a very fine scale, say 32 bytes each, you could do some sort of duplicate line compression.

I thought I read somewhere that some commercial games actually did this. Maybe Afterburner 2? It makes a lot of sense for this game. The primary display is of a horizon which changes angles depending on the roll of the jet. This is the only way of rapidly swapping name tables that need to change eve...

Yea, I should have included links.

Nintendulator Source Code Debugging Mod
FamiTone Audio Library

You should add FamiTone in a libraries section as well as FCEUDSP and thefox's source-debug enhancements to Nintendulater. These things have been a huge help durring development, but I had to find them the hard way

$7 for SMB1? Sounds like an expensive store to me So maybe I am confused. I thought we were talking about the female end?

You know, I noticed on my Yobo NES knock-off that the connector did not fit 100% correct. I guess this answers the question

Yay! I get to order my toys today! :D I figured I'd give an updated parts list as it has changed some. Once I validate everything is working I'll post a very n00b-friendly DIY guide. Supplier: RetroZone Part: ReproPak MMC1 ($9.00) Part: Ciclone IC ($4.00) Part: Translucent Blue Case ($4.00) Supplier...

Cool man, thanks for the quick turn-around. I really appreciate it! Thank you again for all of your hard work on this. I am sure it will save me a bunch of time in development. I'd also like to let you know this was the only thing that convinced me to learn ca65 and ld65. Now that I have I wouldn't ...

Ok, so here's a head scratcher. When I start the program, then use the Open menu to open the ROM it works fine. However, if I start the program with the ROM file as the first command line argument the issue does appear. I can work around this but it kinda throws my dev cycle off. I have a build scri...

There are no other details as there are no debugging symbols in the executable. The stack trace is just a bunch of hex offsets :D One suspicion I had was that I had unused segments defined in the object file. I corrected that but it made no difference. You may download a zip file with the .nes, .nes...

When I set all of this up, run the ROM and step the debugger the application throws a std::length_error exception. Is this because I am using a CC65 snapshot from 02/27/2011? I saw on page 3 of this thread that as of 02/04/2011 the CC65 snapshot did not work with this patch, but there was no mention...

Not yet :D I am working on the sound engine next, then I will tackle enemy waves and level progression. Why does everybody insist on making their own sound engine. :) Good luck with the project. Is there a good sound engine available under the GPL / AGPL that I could include in this game? I am cert...

Hello all! I am proud to show you all my first alpha release of ShootNES, a space shooter released under the GNU GPL V3. It's written in Ophis (the latest version of P65) and ain't what you would call clean. I welcome any comments and advice. The project page for this game is on my Google Sites page...

As for multiplexing collision detection I get some issues with diagonal movement of bullets. This can sometimes cause a false miss. I kinda like it though, it's sort of like grazing in modern SHMUPS. Another way not to miss collisions is to extend a projectile's hitbox backward by how far it has tra...
