   Getting information about older consoles
  I'm looking for information on older consoles such as NES, SNES, game boy, etc..., even maybe newer devices such as the DS.  Is there a central site that would contain info about these devices?  I'm not looking to make homebrew games, but maybe making a SNES emulator or something.Thanks   
  Google is your friend.   ;Quote:Original post by darkcrobatGoogle is your friend.No he/she (does anyone really know?) really isn't in this case.  I couldn't find anything on the design of the NES.   ;  There are a few members around here that have built a NES emulator, and I'm sure they're likely to contribute to this thread.  However, I would imagine that one would start at the the console's processor and work from there.  Googling "snes processor" turned up a comprehensive document on the snes processor.  Googling "nes processor documentation also shows a promising site.EDIT:Here's the thread.   ;  The homebrew and emulation sites are going to have most of that information. Unfortunately hitting upon one with a really good cache of info is hit or miss, and you'll probably need to pull down what documents you can from each place into your own personal collection.Also, you can find lots of good information through related resources -- For example, the SNES used a slightly customized version of the 658c16 Processor (a 16-bit version of the 65c02 in the NES), which was also used in the Apple IIgs, a not-too-popular successor to the Apple IIe that was released around the time of the first Macintosh -- some of the best information on this processor and techniques for its assembler language exists in books intended for Apple IIgs programmers.I've sporadically been working on a high-level assembler for the 6502 and 65816 family of processors (and possibly a cheap microcontroller with very similar architecture), and so I've collected quite a bit of documentation myself. The information is out there.   ;  Thats more than enough info to get me on my way, thanks :)
