Publisher? lolwut?

So basically it really doesn't matter as long as you get it done and it works? I guess I like that way of looking at it since I'm still working on my first game.

Modularity/File Size vs. Efficiency

I'm just wondering what you would consider more important in making a game: Reducing file size or more efficiency.

I have a 'main loop' that has the controller input and things of that nature. I do use the NMI as a timer to allow movement once every 60 NMIs but other than that, it is simply NMI.

If you are trying to use it to store a value in the code, you would do something like: LDA #$20 ; or whatever value you want STA p1_X ; its stored LDA could be LDX or LDY & STA would change to the corresponding X or Y Of course if you are doing some calculations and need to store that value, you...

This might not be the most helpful, but I know going over source for something can help me figure out how things work. I know its not the best code ever, but maybe this could help: http://nesmods.com/maze.asm

Hope it helps you get your movement working.

Greater/Less Than

The title pretty much says it all. I can't figure out an efficient way of doing it. Can anyone at the very least point me to a thread I may have missed?

See the little tabs or "fingers" off to the side? Supposedly if you meet all 3 criteria it is a guarantee. Don't know if it *has to* meet all of them, however. The best way to tell if it is an adapter cartridge is to pick it up. It is heavier than a standard NROM board game and you can te...

Just wanted to put my two cents in: If you're not to sure about using Linux (i.e. you have never used it) http://wubi-installer.org/ is a good thing to try. It installs Ubuntu just like a Windows application and you can remove it just as easily. Its really nice for someone who is new to Linux and ma...

I have to say I am disappointed with the Wii. The balance board really let me down. When I first heard about it while it was still in development it sounded like I was going to be able to grab my Wii Zapper and literally run around and shoot people.

There's a tool called MultpileIEs that gives you IE4/IE5/IE5.5 and IE6 side by side so you can test your site on each browser. There is also a program called IETester that does IE5.5-8 and a plugin that allows you to do 9. Although I try to keep the CSS on my site functional for 5.5, 6, & 7, ev...

All I know is that Famicom cartridges can be plugged into and played with the adapter. I'm sure there are some exceptions to this like if they utilized some kind of hardware the NES is lacking, but other than that it should work. From what I remember, one of my friends said something about Castlevan...
