eReader cracked
 April 21, 2004

I'm amazed at the amount of hits I'v been getting considering the state of disrepair the site has fallen into since my move to Linux. Good emulators are scarce and NES programming tools are non-existant. Anyway I'm back in the fold with an announcement The eReader code has been cracked. Here's the Link

HDD Crash
 March 20, 2004

20/3/04 Won't be working on anything for at least 1 week Windows deleted everything I'v been working on :( So now I'm installing Linux I'v been building a EPROM programmer that requires windows to run so I'll have to setup a 2n'd computer just for it LOL. I'll post a link to the EPROM site when I'v got everything sorted.

EPROM Programmer
 March 9, 2004

Want to program any 27C series EPROM but your just too damn cheap to buy a comercialy produced programmer, well so am I.. AndrewM's EPROM programmer.is a great alternative for those of us who can handle a soldering iorn. The best place for parts would be JayCar with the damage bill coming in at AU$47 to $77 and of course you might have a lot of the parts lying around your workshop anyway

Project - Space Chaser
 March 8, 2004

I'v started work on a port of the Taito game Space Chaser. There will be a project diary added very soon. I chose a port because this is my first attempt at coding an actual game and my first attempt at coding the NES. I hope my project diary will help potential coders out there drop their tech demos and make some games (which is after all what the NES is all about ;) )

Great Tutorial
 March 4, 2004

Michael Martin's Retrocoding Page
I don't know how I missed it for so long considering I found it in an old thread at AtariAge
in which I also posted. Anyway his tutorial answers a lot of questions newbies like myself have and is full of neat little coding tricks like pointing IRQ to NMI's RTI to save a byte.
Didn't catch that last bit ? Then go read the tutorial, it explains everything.

Final site design
 February 29, 2004

This should be the final design ..... for now. Best veiwed with Netscape 7.
Between bouts of coding I'm working in the Sorting room getting ready for another NESdev archive release.

NESdev excavation
 February 28, 2004

Added TheMail room section. This section will hopefully contain most messages posted to the NESdev mailing list. Thanks to Yahoo groups advertising this will be very tediouse work and may not be compleated for a very long time. I do have the first 100 posts up now and will be adding more in increments of 100 until such time as I succum to RSI. Also added some more technical docs and links. Oh yeah, new Site design too. Enjoy.

Minor update
 February 26, 2004

Added some more technical docs, the source code for BoxBoy and a new homebrew review for Munchie Attack

And thats the Nintendo difference.
 February 25, 2004

I have some content up. Not much really but it's a hobby page and it will grow over time. I decided I miight as well use my space here to help the NES homebrew scene as much as I can. I'm not a web designer so if anyone wants to help out with design or hosting contact me at happy_dude [at] Bocnet.com.au with Nintendo in the subject line so I can filter it easier.
