It seems that for all these 10 years of knowledge of NES I've been thinking that the NES's CPU is 6502 and that the NES's APU is 2A03, but it seems I was wrong! It's the same chip! But how is that possible? How could they have all those sound registers and sound logics together with the 6502 core? How is that possible? Did they have 2 dies in the same chip tray? (jk, I know they didn't. (or did they?))
It seems I've been underestimating this chip so much. I kinda wish to have such a chip for to make my own console like the NES, except it'd be beefed up like having 1 cycle for the indirect indirect indexing and 3 24-bit registers for indirection like AVR XMEGA microcontrollers. Wow... Is there an FPGA board I can buy and a free commercial use allowing FPGA editor and an MIT-licensed NES clone FPGA file (however it's called) so that I can make my own NES, but with lots of more capabilities?
