I personally like Lua for these kinds of things, but your mileage may vary.

There are many options, in any case; depends on what you find to be "better".

R.C. Pro-Am comes to mind, released on AN1ROM (mapper 7) and SEROM (MMC1).

It appears the download page has moved here (along with the rest of the site).

my names for things are horribly generic, like "freemco NES Corelib" and "freemlib for Neo-Geo". Not really sure what to do about catchy names, since I prefer names that explain themselves...

running "file" on the enclosed EXE gives: "ARGOS2.EXE: MS-DOS executable, NE for OS/2 1.x" so it's highly likely.

AND generate an ines header complete with mapper and number of banks. I honestly don't get all the attention developers give to the iNES/NES 2.0 header... it's a little block of 16 bytes you write once, which shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to do, when starting a project that will probably take ...

They're not exactly the same, but they do share a common codebase, last time I checked anyways.

One of the things I see in almost every single ROM when someone uses NESASM, is that there is never any zeropage addressing used. It's always assembled as LDA $007F instead of LDA $7F. You have to force it to use zeropage, seems totally backwards to me. If that's a problem or not depends on if you'...

I can confirm rainwarrior's solution should work, as I used pretty much the exact same code when Family Picross was on CNROM for a short amount of time.

Based on your criteria, I want to say the PC Engine port of Art of Fighting falls into this category, but I'm not 100% sure. Could've sworn I read that somewhere.

e: unless you expected the PCE to replicate the zooming 1:1, in which case then it probably doesn't. *shrug*

funny name for what looks like a decent piece of kit.

I doubt any Jaguar game supports 128 player multiplayer though :/

and if that doesn't end up working for you, perhaps give romwak a try; the /b flag should do what you're looking for.

[Robocop 3's] Title screen music is awesome, though I like the C64 version just a little better. It's the SID bass that makes the difference. It's pretty funny how the NES and C64 versions sound pretty much exactly alike in the intro. And on NES we have the example of Skate or Die vs. Skate or Die ...

Command prompt would not execute the script if the parent folder had a space in it. Is this my mistake with a known issue or something with this particular program? I assemble NES apps which reside in my "Documents and Settings" folder through a .bat file which runs in command prompt. fro...

Two examples I can think of left off your list:

1. Metalslime's sound tutorial from NintendoAge ("Nerdy Nights Sound")
2. The Japanese NSD.Lib (NES Sound Driver & Library)
