Question.. is the commodore plus/4 capable of programming nes games?

Beyond what's available through RetroUSB there isn't a huge amount of true NES homebrew, and you wouldn't want to steal from the community like that.

If you're referring to hacks check out the links in the article or Zophar's Domain.

Pirates and japanese-only stuff should be available through one of the major ROM repositories. If you had a specific game you were looking for somebody here could probably hook you up.

You'll want to ask Bunny about the commodore thing, but I'm pretty sure it has a true 6502 and the NES has a modified 6502. I don't think they are directly compatible. Fitty was going on and on about wanting to do that on a C64, but frankly, even if you could I don't see the point. Just program the stuff on your PC and use one of the accurate emulators.

Actually the processors themselfs are pretty much compatible.....only difference is no decimal and nes has build in sound (and some other things)

I was of the understanding that there were a couple of machine instructions that need to be used on one but not the other.

I thought there were some zelda homebrews that were availible free as a rom, but i could be wrong. I was mostly looking for anything that I hadnt played. Btw did golgo 13 2 mafat conspiracy ever get released, because I was reading a NP article.. the article refered to the game like it was already out, and previous issues had talked about the gaming coming out. But i didint see the game on video game price guide

It came out, but just as  "The 'Mafat Conspiracy", with no mention of golgo 13 on the cart,.

Dude this is the second time I've heard you referring to another outdated terrible inaccurate price guide. What's the resistance to just using ours?

Those are zelda "hacks" NOT "homebrews".  There is a big difference.

The articles I've been writing in the eZine are about "hacks", which involve a rom hacker altering the rom image of the original game and turning it into something new.  Many times the end result looks professionally done, and quite a few are truly fantastic games.  The better hacks take years to develop, but still required the core programming of the original game.

A "homebrew" starts from the ground up and is written in ASM.  To date, nobody has written an NES homebrew anywhere near as involved as Zelda or Megaman, though there are a few promising titles in the works.

Also, in general, hacks are based of an existing IP, and are infringing on copyright by using the original game code, anyway.  Homebrews SHOULD all be original properties and are the legitimate copyright of their author.  That is why I said you should not steal actual homebrew releases, since you're only hurting the small community of authors by doing so.  Hacks, on the other hand, are free to the masses, as long as you're comfortable pirating the original game.

Actually I have no problem at all with NA price guide.. its the best one out there, and I print it out monthly. I was just looking for it real quick online, and didnt feel like going into my game room to find my NA zine. The guide I was looking at originally did have the game, I just missed it, because I was looking under "Golgo" and "Mafat", when for some retarded reason their guides include the word "the" as the first word in a title, which I did not no, and didnt even look for.

Arch, thx for clearing that up, ive seen some impresive Zelda hacks then indeed, and those were the types of roms I was looking for I guess. And no, I have no problem getting pirate material for items that are no longer availible retail.

Figured that what you were talking about. There are some really impressive hacks out there. My article about Zelda hacks is a month away, though, but Zophar's Domain is a good place to start looking.

Reading through this again gave me a headache.
Thanks god buk fitty is gone!
