Why ????
also, Please enter a title for this note. It does no one any good when

Note 338.0 Programming NES games No replies
RAVEN1::TIMMONS 27 lines 25-OCT-1989 17:10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't get your hopes too high, but I promised in an earlier note
to give information on a company that has a hardware adapter that
plugs into the Nintendo and an IBM-PC allowing software development
for the Nintendo. They have a compiler that runs on the IBM-PC and
down loads the code to the adapter in the Nintendo for quick testing
of code. They also have a bullentin board for programing info.
BUT, alas, they only built a few of these and they were all provided
for software contracters for writing games that they will release
shortly. The games themselves will be standard cartridges.
In talking with them, they might sign on more programmers if they
are skilled. With their set up you can do the programming for a
part of a game at home, and down load the code to them over a modem.
The comapny is:
Color Dreams
2700 East Imperial Hwy.
Brea, CA. 92621
(714) 579-0693
If you are a programmer, ask for Tom Lin, and he will have some one
contact you. It would be great if someone on the notes file could
get access to this hardware/software and share what he learns!

| 420.3 | Took Zelda apart! | DPDMAI::DAVISGB | Escapee from New Hampshire... | Thu Feb 15 1990 14:21 | 16 |
| We're having a problem with our Adventures of Zelda catridge that
appears to be just dirty contacts./ The gold fingers aren't wonr away,
just dirty. I assume that the contacts inside the control deck are
somewhat dirty also. Anyone know of a way to clean these?
We did take apart Zelda to clean the contacts...found a short board
(1/2 the case is *empty*) with a standard 1/2" in diameter battery.
Looks to be very easily replaceable...)
I have noticed that newer cartridges are hot-glued at the places where
scrwews used to be. Also, some have the screws under labels so that
tampering is readily apparent when they're returned to the
manufacturer.

| RE:-1
Nintendo makes a cartridge specifically for cleaning the contacts
inside your NES. You simply slide it in like a game cartridge. The cost
is about $12.00-$15.00 depending on where you purchase it. Its worth
the small investment.

Hi, I am an experienced game reverse engineer. I have RE'd the
VECTREX game and the COLECOVISION game.
Simple forget it (REing) the Nintendo. They have a CPU that
is not documented and they have special "lock out" chips in
EVERY cart. that is sold in the US.
Even the edge card connector that they use is non-standard.
FYI, in JAPAN, they don't have the lockout chips. So if you
buy a cart. in JAPAN it will not work in the US nintendos.
thanks
