Almost any text editor can do it.

OH and use vscode, theres a few ca65 syntax plugins thats got all the assembler directives and so on.

>>7121570
I don't know sorry

lrn6502 assembly language

And lrn2 mappers. The mapper setup you want to use depends on the ROM size and what specifically you want to do with the game.

crack it

reminder NESMaker is shit

>>7121727
ok faggot didnt know and thanks

>>7121727
its not that bad, but its pretty unoptimized and a lot of the scripts are broken.

>>7121727
its a WIP that the author had to release because he had backers who wanted a product.

I've used it a fair amount, and I'd say its not broken at all... its actually excellent, and if you look at the projects people have made with it, it's actually fucking incredible.

My beef with it is that the design is eccentric, and that the projects aren't modular enough.... too much starting from scratch, and too much damaged by revisions to the software. The menu system and logic is hard to follow and the learning cuvre is steep... but those are sacrifices you'd have to make invariably, if you wanted to MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING NES GAME lol.

Assembly is a bitch and there's gotta be some wall to climb.

why do boomers name their work gross shit?

How often has this happened to you, /vr/?

Emulator programmers started using serious names after the 16 bit era so we didn't get

There's nothing that intimidating about assembly language. HLLs just make it a bit easier to visualize what the program is doing.

>>7121836
Around the time when emulators require a team of people and not one weirdo.

>>7121570
There is. It’s called Windows Notepad.

Paging assembly larper to come and have a big fucking meltdown ITT.

>>7121570
Yes

>>7121570
Yes. My dad works at Nintendo and if this post gets 300 upboats I'll leak his stuff.

You can make any game you like with any cartridge configuration, but the configuration determines what you can do with the game design-wise.

>>7121792
we didn't have quite as many pedos back then so it was still funny and not a sign the author is sick

>>7121757
Honestly I think people interested in retro dev should just develop for Mega Drive.... 68000 is a really nice architecture, really full featured and mainstream, you can program in C dawg.

>>7121932
They also make it easier to do trivial math operations.... Doing multiplication on the NES is an art

>>7122684
>ASL to multiply, LSR to divide
That was hard. And tbqh the Z80 didn't have hardware multiply/divide either.

>>7122687
no it's C that does the multiplication

>>7122687
you also got to carry the result from byte to byte, its nice to have a higher level language simplify that when your arch uses fuckin 8 bit words

>>7122687
the Z80 does definitely make your life easier than the 6502

You can find tutorials online explaining just about any 6502 operation you want to do.

Code snippet from an old book I had about x86 asm. It was part of a program to convert decimal values to hex. Try and do this in 6502 asm, I dare you. I tried before and how to pull off the 16-bit operations here such as the register exchanges completely bewildered me.

Trolling is a art. Doing multiword arithmetic just requires a basic understanding of numbers. But apparently that's rare these days, as dunning–kruger >>7122687 has demonstrated.

>this kid again
How can you still be a dumb kid when you've been crying about this for a few years now?

Right on time. ;)

>>7123045
Here's multi word arithmetic in C when you program on a sane arch:

> int a = b * c;

see how you're not fucking with any status flags? huhhhhhh nicee

Retard Alert.

>>7121757
Okay, Mojon Twins

all you need is a 6502 assembler, of which there are thousands
