compiler construction - How to program to old game consoles? -


i want know how program old game consoles fun.

can use programming language such c? have use assembly? not know console compiler, assembler or api. need compile rom image , test emulators, because not own console.

each console has interesting features , play them.

  • atari 2600 (only 128 bytes of ram)
  • nes (only 8-bit)
  • snes (a console, 16-bit)
  • ps1 (3d, complex)
  • game boy (simple, monochromatic)

older systems atari, nes, , gameboy typically programmed in assembly or c. there variety of development tools gameboy i've played around such as:

rednex gameboy development (asm): http://www.otakunozoku.com/rednex-gameboy-development-system/
gbdk (c): http://gbdk.sourceforge.net/

and while there lot of dead links on it, page has lot of information , links on gameboy development in general: http://www.devrs.com/gb/

for nes there 2 assembly tutorials know of. second tutorial linked first claim superior can't comment second link didn't exist last time interested in topic.

http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=7155

if isn't new gba has lot of great homebrew resources , typically programmed using c. wealth of information on gba makes place start:

devkitpro provides complete gnu toolchain gba development (devkitarm + libgba): http://www.devkitpro.org/

tonc guide gba lot of detailed explaination: http://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/

lastly, indispensible gbatek sheet details gba's hardware. tell registers on gba have play change graphics modes, sound modes, use interrupts, etc.

programming these older game systems shares lot in common programming microcontrollers. without sort of abstraction layer have lot of bitwise manipulation of registers basic things.

edit: main issue came across when doing gba programming figuring out how sound registers work. (is?) real blind spot in terms of tutorials. best resource @ time studying gbatek sheet , these sites:
