@zzo38: I managed to compile ppmck. I had to tweak a few things, but it works. I also installed kterm to along with it, just because.

EDIT: Without shamelessly bumping the thread, development can now be followed at my blog, as well as the repo on github. Thank you.

FamiTone uses only 7 bytes of ZP and ~180 bytes of a RAM page, the latter could be unused part of the stack page (that's how I use it). Thank you for all of this, Shiru. :) Your article on programming in C for NES and the downloads you released with it opened up a lot for me. I'm not an assembly pr...

My program is at: http://zzo38computer.org/nes_program/ppmck.zip (it is an enhanced version of ppMCK). (I haven't documented it very well, though.) "You need nkf (Network Kanji Filter) to compile ppmck properly on a un*x system." :? And what do the * and ? commands do? I'm learning MML al...

Hey, cpow. It looks like this needs the Windows SDK, and so I'll probably need Wine to get anywhere with this. The thing about that is, OpenBSD doesn't do Wine. Period. (OpenBSD is like the cranky old man on the block who always yells at little Linus to get off his lawn.) It might be a wild goose ch...

Will it support up to one expansion chip? Will you add the * and ? commands like the ones I have implemented in my MML? I don't believe I've seen your program, where is it? :) I'm really doing this to learn more on the subject, and I'm going off the FamiTone docs. From those, I don't know that Fami...

Hello everyone, As far as MML goes, I have seen nesmus, and I've seen mck and its relatives. For FamiTone, the admonition is to use FamiTracker. I've been working on a command-line tool to translate MML to assembly which is compatible with FamiTone. It's written in Lua, and I currently have it under...

I'll let you know how it builds and runs on OpenBSD. :) I have a nearly fresh install of BSD, so right now I'm in the process of building Qt3 from ports. (Is there anything else I'll need?) Then I'll try to build Nesicide. I'm following your github now. :) (I'm Heathcode on github, in case I should ...

Any updates on this project? The github link is broken. I see that the last comment here is from March, and it is September. The github link is broken. :/

Got it! I'm sure you all knew this before I did, but I'd like to write here for posterity. When using Gimp with Bob Rost's NES Sprite Tools, you have the option to not overwrite the color space. This is easy to miss. It falls under "Compatibility Options", so look for that when trying to e...

That's how I work. (...) I have no idea how OpenBSD's repositories work, but under Ubuntu it's sudo apt-get install python-imaging build-essential to install all dependencies. A quick pkg_add py-Imaging and there it is. :) Thank you, and I'll give your and lidnariq's programs a whirl in a bit. Mean...

$ chr2bmp tileset.chr tileset.bmp Image 'tileset.bmp' created successfully $ xpaint tileset.bmp $ bmp2chr tileset.bmp tileset.chr Could not load image 'tileset.bmp' Okay, so Gimp gives me a similar problem to this. After loading tileset.bmp into xpaint, and then saving it right back and closing it,...

Thank you. If it'll work, it might help. Currently I don't have Java installed.

I'm able to compile and run .nes binaries with FCEUX. Be sure to test on other emulators (or, preferably, a real NES) as well. FECUX is a very good development tool with lots of debugging features, but the accuracy of its emulation is not the greatest. If your game works consistently across differe...

Bob Rost saves the day, sort of. NES Sprite Tools.

Greetings everyone, first post here. I'm a C programmer on OpenBSD who is making just a little progress in making a game for NES. I have CC65 set up, according to Shiru's tutorial, and I'm able to compile and run .nes binaries with FCEUX. My goal is first to make Towers of Hanoi, and I'd ultimately ...
