Are you new to 6502, NES, or even programming in general? Post any of your questions here. Remember - the only dumb question is the question that remains unasked.
Hello everyone!
There's a big chance this question have been asked many times before, but since I couldn't find any starter guides or anything I had to ask.
I am completely new to programming on the NES, even though I have programmed in many different languages before.
So basically, let's start with that I want to be able to write text on a black screen. What programs do I need and what do I need to know? (perhaps there are already tutorials for this somewhere?)
Well start by learning some basic asm commands. Then make the backround a color. (coughmybackroundcolordemocough) Then make a sprite on the screen. Work from there.
edit: btw doesn't this belong in the newbie help forum?
In Test.asm, under the reset label, you can place your test code, and it comes with a graphics file (Test.CHR) which you can edit with a graphics editing program like YY-CHR. After writing your test code, you can double-click Make.bat and it will assemble it into a NES ROM. I would recommend reading some of the documents on the internet about 6502 programming, and Y0shi's Nestech document if you want to learn how everything works.
