Don't forget that you can't just put a socket in an NES board and use a standard EPROM. The pinout is different: Mask ROM pinout You need to rewire the socket, which makes it a little trickier. If it's a permanent EPROM you can just bend the legs out where you need to reroute, but a socket isn't us...

Alright. Which MMC5 cartridges have all 64KB of WRAM or at least 32KB AND a battery? Do these 64KBs of RAM at 6000h-7FFFh interfere with the 8000h-9FFFh, A000h-BFFF and C000h-DFFF? My configuration is this: 0x6000-0x7FFF = Minecraft World save data, must have as much Save RAM as possible!!! 0x8000-0...

Alright, thanks. I got really shocked

I can't believe that I've been counting on using MMC5 while it doesn't have any save RAM! I went to Nesdev wiki for the second time on the MMC5 page, pressed Ctrl+F, typed "save" and there was nothing found! Which mappers have a save RAM, PRG-RAM, CHR-RAM, 4 PRG bank address spaces (0x8000...

Rather than all this hemming and hawing and sperglording (esp. "building your own NES" or something): How about you give me an Email address that's associated with PayPal and I'll donate US$100 for you to get yourself a working NES (say, off eBay or elsewhere) and/or some additional dev h...

What version of Nintendulator are you using? If 0.975, is it the latest build? I ask because there are some versions of 0.975 (and possibly also 0.970) where the PPU debug window will repaint every time memory is written, while I believe the current version makes an effort to not do that. That's ex...

Because I don't think Dropbox can allow img tags from external sites.

What do I need as an MMC5 cart? Can't I just get a game using an MMC5 mapper, unsolder the ROM chips, solder chip sockets and put in and out EEPROM chips whenever I need to program them? Which games use MMC5 mapper? Which of those games are available to buy, physically disassemblable and safe for un...

I understand what everyone's saying now. Sorry for my confusion. I've decided to use ZIP format for Windows distributions. This should make it obvious that it is portable and does not throw debris anywhere into your system folders like uninstallers or installer records. I'll update my website with ...

Really a quick job without much effort put into it (I was going to add more stuff and make this larger than a screen but got lazy), so whatever. May decide to add more stuff later if I get bored. http://i.imgur.com/egm7dAa.png Background tiles used: 10 (including blank tile) Background palettes use...

I drew a sprite of an otter. It came out cute without outlines so I wanted to finish without outlines. Sadly, NES has only 3 colors for a sprite so I had to make outlines from the inside. I did it by applying the outline color onto the first pixel looking from left to right of the samecolored bodypa...

Do you think LAGD (Legal Advice for Game Developers) from New Media Rights would help me about this?

Alright so how am I supposed to install NESICIDE fully into a folder in my USB stick without anything sticking out of it towards system files or absolute path towards my system?

There are legal issues about ROMs and emulators. The reason why I'm posting this is because I believe that this issue has already been resolved and I want to get direct information about it. This is how I believe: Software is protected by copyright that lasts 75 years after author's death. Hardware ...

Alright. How about I keep developing my game on an emulator and then have a beta tester who will test it on real hardware?
