When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought of Super Play, though your idea seems to have a different goal.

If you're using a 6502-like instruction set, why not start from the 65C02 as a base? It already implements PHX,PHY,PLX,PLY, and WAI.

Is it possible? yes.

Has it been done before? Not to my knowledge.

Is it probable? not really. Then again, I am attempting to solve a similar problem (just not with Family BASIC)...

Yes, that would be fine.

I'm fine with that, as long as it's not being sold.

when I looked at Zelda II, I could only see graphics for an empty bar-segment and a full bar-segment. Yet in the game you can have any value fill the health bar, even just one pixel more or less, as far as I can tell. How do they manage that? It looks like sprites are used as well (tiles $6F and $7...

I've also been working on reverse engineering Family BASIC v3, though I still haven't finished it. Requires asm6f because of .ignorenl and .endinl directives; requires GNU Make because I switch between Windows and Linux computers too much. (Original file "Family BASIC v3.nes" not included;...

The Neo Geo CD has VRAM And a lot of it I'd imagine... You get 7 megabytes ; 2MB for the program, 4MB for sprites (a far cry from the maximum 128MB for sprites on ROM), and 1MB for PCM data. no existing Neo Geo cartridge release uses a circuit like that which I described. Do you know if any Neo Geo...

If "official" is shorthand for "made by Nintendo", the only Nintendo-provided RNG I can think of is in the Famicom Disk System BIOS (Referred to as "Random" in the wiki).

What exactly is this ? A way to use the programming language Python to program NES games. Is it like a compiler that shows you the code that you've been writing in whatever and what it did to turn it into assembly? as far as I can tell, it converts Python code to 6502 assembler, but I haven't reall...

Yeah. I read the programers document and it seems like levels can just be drawn with his application and saved as a "name table". That's easy enough to do if i'm understanding it right. I just need to find a computer that runs windows. :P NES Screen Tool works pretty good in WINE, at leas...

Examples of other random number generators can be found on codebase64 (personally, I use White Flame's 8 and 16-bit routines)

Try blocking out the other parts in solid colors and save the shading for later; it'll especially help once you decide to animate these.

the only docs for the MB128 that I've seen are the ones by MooZ in this thread on the PCEdev forums.

I've converted tepples' PNG to CHR data (a single 4K page), as well as took my own stab at it. The mapping for my version: il digraph: < ($3C) ll digraph: = ($3D) cursor: > ($3E), as in the original table ©: @ ($40) ←: [ ($5B) li digraph: ($5C) →: ] ($5D) …: _ ($5F) “: ` ($60) ↑: { ($7B) l' digraph:...

I've attached it to this post so it won't get lost in the future.
