When I was playing a bit of Ristar and kept noticing that when the top of the water always had the palette-write artifacts in the same spots consistently, the idea of using these writes as a means of actual output crossed my mind but I definitely don't have the know-how to actually do so myself - I'...

Cutting 5V will not be enough - I am not qualified to explain exactly why, but my understanding is that the inactive chips that are still connected may still fight with the other ones that are connected to the same lines, possibly pulling high signals lower than they should be, and drawing extra cur...

You're a broken record! Stop telling the man to cut pin 4! He's building a custom arcade cabinet that is designed to have an NES dropped in for use. It may not be the same NES all the time, so he needs it to work regardless of which unmodified NES is in it! He wants an adapter for his stock french N...

If someone could build something like GBColorizer that was more reliable and stable, that'd be a great thing to have. Some games work great with it.

Isn't this a very easy operation? Couldn't hypothetically even SMB be modified to have one palette for the status bar, then on sprite 0 hit update the palette in addition to the scrolling?

Is timing available and precise enough to use the triangle channel in such a fashion as to play the rising part of the triangle wave, and then immediately cut and re-start the wave? Or is the "position" of the wave not predictable enough to allow for this? I remember seeing a Saw wave demo...

Gimmick!, one of Sunsoft's masterpieces, features extreme levels of detail you would not expect from a Famicom game. Lots of traps and enemies only appear once in the game, there are a lot of superfluous animations and extra graphical sprites that do nothing for the game play, and surprisingly good ...

Okay, just wasn't sure if he'd disappeared or something - a lot of posts that looked like they were once useful have been edited out.
Back on track, didn't mean to derail anything!

I hate to have to ask, but is Kevtris uncontactable? It seems like he'd be able to shed some useful light on this.

This is pretty cool! I like that you can inject your CHR edits into the running ROM, it reminds me a little of the NESticle days.

The tile editor could use a little polishing, but this is still pretty well put together. I hope to see it developed further.

Oh, I know - it's just neat to have feedback at all from it. It might make a fun demo unit at the game store I'm working at this summer.

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Should I burn it to an NROM cart, or what? I'm assuming I can disregard vertical/horizontal mirroring

I was under the impression that all Dendy units shared timings with the PAL NES, i. e. 50fps.

I've done it on an extremely worn down NES pad, worn to the point where the pivot for the D-pad has been reduced to nothing but a slight lump.
