NES Machine Code Editor (alpha)

[TylerBarnes 183]

So, this is something I'm trying to develop further into more of a game sort of thing, but I got the mechanic working and think it is fun enough to share. Machine code editing done natively on the NES. ^_^ 

(The indexing bug was figured out. I was decrementing and using BNE to loop, so naturally when the index hit #$00, it escaped the loop and didn't write $0500 index 0.)

Pretty cool idea, are you on nesdev too? Seems like the kind of thing to folks over there might appreciate

So you could literally create a small game on here like pong or something.

I do have an account over there. I should frequent over there more often. I mostly lurk and read; Not many posts by me.

Yes, in theory, except it is not possible to add anything to the NMI routine in ROM. The code execution currently starts at $0500 So execution runs through from $0500-$07FF, But I could move the sprites from $0300 up to $0200, then move execution to start at $0300. Then one would have from $0300-$07FF free for machine code. The idea I had for it is not that big in scope though.
