Was gonna say at some point that I've been teaching myself how to program on the Super Nintendo over the last 3 months or so, but I kept forgetting.

Still not at the point that I have anything worthwhile to show, but that should change sooner rather than later.

P.S. maybe I actually will make Super Luke for real who knows lel

snes is super well documented. if you are already into doing assembly, it shouldn't be that hard of a leap, depending on what platform you started on.

i'm only interested in super metroid, and the entire game has been disassembled so it's pretty easy for me, plus the editors and other tools are very good.

Nah, this was my first time doing assembly, but the actual 65816 hasn't been too hard to understand.

I've read through a lot of wiki.superfamicom.org's stuff, and I followed along with this to get me started:

Right now I'm just doing deep diving to see how all the different hardware registers interact.

I'm probably gonna study up more on 65816 itself next, I'm not always sure what opcodes do what yet,

i've only dipped my toes into assembly stuff, mostly making small modifications (sometimes called hex tweaks), but this reference has been great: https://patrickjohnston.org/ASM/List...%20opcodes.asm

unless you're super dedicated to making your own engine, picking another game and doing a total conversion romhack, with so much custom stuff it's almost unrecognizable would be easier.

Decided I better just go deep into this and read up on this bad boy:

This is true, but I'm really interested in seeing what I myself am capable of.

Though, even if I'm going from scratch now, I wouldn't mind messing around with other games at some point too.
