SNROM template

This is a minimal working program for the Nintendo Entertainment System using the SGROM, SNROM, UNROM, or UOROM board. It assumes familiarity with nrom-template.

Additional concepts illustrated:

• initializing the MMC1
• loading tile data into CHR RAM
• calls from one PRG bank to another

Setting up the build environment

Building this demo requires cc65, Python, Pillow, GNU Make, and GNU Coreutils. For detailed instructions to set up a build environment, see nrom-template.
