Haha OK, an emulator running on the NES is already novel enough, I don't see why avoid using something that was common back in the day (extra RAM) and make the development significantly harder or even impossible, since even all the sacrifices won't get you all the RAM you need. Remember that you do...

Doing things like this in a machine you KNOW can handle it is not fun, it's just convenient. The fun is all about trying the unusual. Emulating a GB on the NES is not about the goal (playing Game Boy games), but the means (NES simulating another machine). - tokumaru Haha OK, an emulator running on ...

I thought it would be 7-up, because of Mario NES games and 1-ups.

Sorry for all of the short posts but will most CHIP-8 games work well with overscan? Also why not make a Mario game? Would it work? I could try to learn to make it. Would it be possible to make music with the single-pitched beep? How does it work with 9 cycles per frame?

Also, I found this: https://github.com/dmatlack/chip8/tree/master/roms

Is anyone interested in making this? I don't have enough experience yet- I know a lot about how the NES works in theory from browsing the forums but can't do much assembly. I could do it myself one day, probably.

But that wouldn't be completely accurate and is less fun.

Tokumaru, again for fun. I suppose it would help with a competition, too?

Another problem: 3) Input- The CHIP-8 (or is Chip-8?) has a 16-key hex keyboard whereas the NES controller only has 8 buttons. An obvious solution would be to have a screen for mapping NES controller buttons to CHIP-8 keys, or use 2 controllers. Another way would be to use button combinations or mod...

So why do we normally wait 2 frames?

Yes but we can do what I just said. Also, by the length, I meant how long the flash itself would last. "2 frames for PPU initialization?" Also, could it be disguised as lightning as I said earlier?

I'm doing it for:
A: Fun
and
B: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9342&start=90
If there was a competition I think I have an idea for a Mario game with 1 chip

Which colour would the flashes be and how long? 2 frames for PPU initialization? On a CRT, could it be disguised as a lightning strike if the game has a rain effect or would that be too annoying? Anything else I'd need to know if I did this?

Also, would this cause a flashing screen because of PPU resets?
