I've read that the usual way to execute code on the N64 is to use DMA to copy it from ROM into RAM, and then run from RAM. However, it seems that the contents of the ROM are directly visible to the CPU (e.g. from address `0x9000_0000`). Is it possible to run code directly from ROM (as was standard o...

I see [No-Intro] sets for the Master System and Game Gear, but I don't see one for Sega Cards. [...] were these games ever dumped? If so, did No-Intro just roll them into the Master System ROM set? And if they did that, is there a way to tell them apart via internal ROM header information? I don't ...

Has anyone set up a debugger breakpoint for any reads from those regions (at the end of every bank) to see if they're being used in real-time? Yes. At least for the Kirby games, the footers are not accessed at run-time. As mentioned, the footer at $07fe0 in both versions of "Kirby's Pinball La...

I have noticed that several Game Boy games contain a 32-byte footer at the end of one or more 16KB banks. For example, in "Kirby's Pinball Land (USA, Europe)" and "Kirby no Pinball (Japan)": 07fe0: .. C6 01 .. 05 00 .. C1 80 .. C3 F3 .. 8A E8 .. 08 98 .. 11 10 .. 62 00 0ffe0: .. ...

I have a game on an SHVC-8PV5B-01 prototype PCB, similar to the one pictured here . I have tried to dump this game, but the results of doing so seem to depend on the settings of the jumpers on the PCB. In order to get a good dump, it seems necessary to set these jumpers correctly. Does anyone know w...

Do you have any examples of games which used C?

Is there a way to know (or to estimate) whether a game made significant use of C, based only on a ROM dump?

Although many (most?) commercial Sega Genesis games were written in 68000 assembly language, some (including Ecco, The Lion King and Sonic Spinball) were written in C. Are any commercial SNES games known to have been written in C (or another compiled language), or are they all believed to have used ...
