A number of 'gamer' keyboards have a function key to disable the windows key.

Scary games when I was a kid:

NES:
Maniac mansion (Afraid of getting caught.)
Metroid (I had trouble at first exploring very far from the main tunnels, afraid I would get killed.)

TG16:

Being brought up in a religious house these seemed evil/scary:
Devil's Crush
Splatterhouse

I thought this was interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Orien ... embly_Lisp (LISP used for games like Jak and Daxter.)

I don't really 'get' LISP, or what advantages there could be here, but still interesting anyway.

You could do this with the assembler if the macro language is powerful enough (ca65), but you won't have the nice tables to look at in your source.

I mentioned the PHP+PLX pair as well.

Which part was wrong?

Don't use the stack to store your values, or use stack relative addressing to access those values and remember to fix the stack up when you are done.

Exactly.

Pushing, pulling use the stack and so does JSR. (Unless there is something I don't know abut 65816, you are also PHP, then PLX.)

I think once I or someone else should really do a deep reseach about existing high level alternatives for the NES.. Also, (not a language, but) my extension to ca65: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/ca65hl/wiki I also like (even though I don't understand Lisp) (see links at bottom of the page) http:...

It may be worth noting that using a NES to Famicom adapter may prevent four screen mode from working properly due to lazy adapter makers that don't connect the proper lines.

He said he wanted to play carts. But if you were to get an open handheld like that, there are better choices. My first pick would be: http://www.gcw-zero.com/

This example code is terrible. This is how it looks in high-level pseudo code: x = 5 location01 = a ; a is unknown a = 3 if x <> location01 location01 = location01 - 1 if x <> location01 location01 = location01 - 1 if x <> location01 location01 = location01 - 1 if x <> location01 endif endif endif e...

Based on your information you have configured MMC3 to map the ROM space as: CPU $8000-$9FFF: 8 KB PRG ROM bank, fixed to the second-last bank CPU $A000-$BFFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank CPU $C000-$DFFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank CPU $E000-$FFFF: 8 KB PRG ROM bank, fixed to the last bank It will...
