    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. :P

     

    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)

    I could list off tons of great games, but the one I have not been able to tear myself away from recently is STARFIRE programmed by Manuel Polik. Its Available in the Atariage strore. This game is great, its all you could ask for in a 2600 game. Sooooo.....The lesson of this story is: If i flunk out of college my last semester because I played too much starfire...its Manuels fault.  :D  

     

    Tim

    Not to mention there are 23 patchs left :D

     

     

    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 ;) )

    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 :D

    Heres my first score.

    When I finish for the night I'll send my highest score in for a patch :D

    Looks someone is going to challenge me. :thumbsup: :)

    Actually I'v been progressivly getting worse.

    I predict that by tommorow morning I'll barly be able to get past wave 1 :P

    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 :lol:

    ;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 :D

     

     

    And Thanks for a really great game Manuel.

    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 :evil: )

    By the way, what is the third (blue) freighter?  I get the other three, but this one looks like a phone booth to me.

    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.
