I want to know how to program to old game consoles for fun.
Can I use a programming language such as C? Will I have to use assembly? I do not know any console compiler, assembler or API. I will need to compile into ROM image and test with emulators, because I do not own any console.
Each console has its interesting features and I would like to play with them.
- Atari 2600 (only 128 bytes of RAM)
- NES (only 8-bit)
- SNES (a good console, 16-bit)
- PS1 (3D, complex)
- Game Boy (simple, monochromatic)
