SweetNES Step-By-Step
Leave it to me to make a difficult job even harder. After briefly discussing my approach for getting the SweetNES project rolling I decided to document the entire endeavor. I began to realize that there would be more than just a few “baby steps” to get this thing off the ground and that anyone interested in writing an emulator could benefit from a step-by-step guide.
The CodePlex project wiki was an obvious choice to host this information. Over the last week or so I’ve started working up some early articles. They can be found on the SweetNES project homepage. These articles will cover every aspect of the project development. Links to the reference material and related information will be provided.
They are by no means easy to produce. By my estimation I’ve spent at least as much time writing the articles as I have coding and it’s slowed my development to a crawl. It’s a herculean effort to say the least but I think it will be very rewarding. I know of no other project like it. When all is said and done, anybody should be able to learn how to write an emulator from the ground up.
