Starter NES Project

This is a starter NES skeleton, containing the minimal amount of code that is useful for building a new project.

Depends on makechr for building the graphics data.

Depends on ca65 and ld65 to assemble and link.

Depends on python in order to create debugging info. You can remove this dependency by removing the call to python in the Makefile.

Functions include:

  • Initialization code
  • Graphics loading
  • Controller reading
  • Frame synchronization
  • Basic NMI

To build, run make, which produces starter.nes.

To clean, run make clean, which removes the build directory ".b/"
