About
This page serves as a repository for NES-related stuff I have written over the years. If you'd like to contact me, email quietust at either @qmtpro.com or @gmail.com. I can also be found in the #nesdev IRC channel on EFnet.
News
December 29, 2005
Made some updates to the 'Color Bars' demo, allowing the user to specify the palette value on each individual color bar as well as simultaneously increment/decrement the palette values of all 8 bars.
Instructions can be found at the top of the source code, included in the download package.
December 6, 2005
Added a new demo, 'Turbo Checker', which displays how quickly each button on controller #1 is being pressed.
As the source code is included, it can be modified to support either the 2nd controller port or any number of special controllers, though care should be taken to not monitor too many buttons at once, otherwise there won't be enough time to update the screen.
