Strangly I only just found and read that tutorial. If I had been paying attention 2 years ago I'd be coding NES games by now. Seriously, If you're interested in NES coding read Michael's tutorial. I did a little write up for it on my NES homebrew page (link in sig)

Not to mention there are 23 patchs left Someone was mentioning lables. Anything from Xype is good Thrust+ Platinum is a must have. Play it in emulation first because it may be way too hard for you (hell it's way too hard for me but I still love it )

wave 10 - 5130

First I'd go to Woodstock Then I'd write a Disk operating system and sell it to IBM Then I'd buy as many Quadruns as I could. Then I'd get this Galaga machine from the local Pub. It used to be a nice place but it's under new managment and has become a total wastehole. Not to mention they got rid of the Galaga upright and Football cocktail. I put so much money into those machines, I remember one time me and my sister where crawling into the Adults section where there was a poker game going on and we where stealing 20cent peices from off the tables (from underneath ) to fund our Galaga habit

Looks someone is going to challenge me. Actually I'v been progressivly getting worse. I predict that by tommorow morning I'll barly be able to get past wave 1

I figured it out I just have to put the CHR at org $10000 just after the vectors. Nothing tricky at all. Heres why I couldn't figure it out. The macro I was using to setup the PPU was broken so the screen never got turned on ;This is broken :( MAC SetPPUCtrl ldx #>{1} ;High byte of address sta PPUCtrl0 ldx #<{1} ;Low byte of address sta PPUCtrl1 ENDM For some reason this Macro breaks the code whereas SetPPUAddr works fine and its essentialy the same thing

My cart arrived today. I'v got a few brews and snacks and I'm making a night of it I didn't keep track of scores for my first game but I did switch difficulties after 3500 Heres my first score. When I finish for the night I'll send my highest score in for a patch And Thanks for a really great game Manuel.

Nothing.

Theres been a compleate site re-design The reveiws look a lot nicer with screenshots Some other minor stuff has been changed too (doner carts, Homebrew list) Posting 3 in a row in my own thread feels a little to much like spam for comfort. So this is the last post ..... I promise

Theres no PAL enteries in the AA database and the lowest rarity is 3. My sharkattack is the blue lable rarity 4 one. Neither game is on eBay at the moment.... Do you know how to search ended auctions (because I don't)

Are they really that uncommon ? I'v got a Shark Attack cart. Had it as long as I'v been collecting Well its the 1st ive seen, Is ur shark attack PAL? I'll have to get out my 7800 and dump the rom to be sure but I "think" it's PAL. 312 scanlines. Yep, it's PAL

Who's that Ugly bastard in the TV j/k Thats an awsome score man

I think it's time for an update to the Squadron page. I'm getting very nervous with all these people making the grade And I haven't got my cart yet (but soon very soon ) Yep. It's a phone box, from Dr. Who.

O.k I'm hoping this is a simple little DASM problem and not a great big NES problem I need to include a binary file in a new bank. The source code I have isn't any help because it's written in NESASM It has to go at $0000 but the rom starts at $bff0. So how do I do this ? Do I need to use RORG ? If so how ? This is how it's done in NESASM .bank2 org $0000 .incbin "test.chr" any help

I just added "the mail room". It is going to be a plain text archive of the NESdev mailing list. As it stands the list is hosted at Yahoo groups and you need to be a member to read the archives. Well I'm going to be copying the whole damn thing into plain text because it's a real pain having to click through all those advertisments The first 100 messages are up now. there are over 3000 in the archive ..... this could take awhile.

I haven't seen your first effort yet but I have a few suggestions. HOMEBREWS All of them

Just uploaded a nice Metroid disassembly. But that has nothing to do with this thread

Well it was laying around my HDD so I don't know the story The CHR-ROM isn't in there. But it is the whole game code.

Lucky you I just uploaded a SMB disassembly to The Nintendo Difference's code vault http://www.geocities.com/happy_dude_2600/c.../codevault.html WARNING: It's really nasty. If anyone knows of a nicer dis-asm of SMB (or any NES games really) PM me.

OMG RARE!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!1!

Is that the Nintendo site MMF is talking about Send me a PM saying what the deal is.

Best : Gamecube, Dreamcast, Snes (it was the SFC design here ) Worst : Colecovision, SMS2, Saturn 1 (model 2 had some nice lines up front model 1 looks like a brickwall)

I'v added a reveiw for Munchie Attack Theres some more tech docs and the source code for BoxBoy. Bratwurst has expressed an interest in contributing (and I would have asked him sooner or later anyway ) So look forward to a few articles on making carts and modifying your NES

All the TRU's around here where built post DC and all the shops that did carry sold their stock a long time ago (somtimes for less than $5 ) So I'm stuck with $10-$20 pawn shop finds.....if I'm lucky
