NES emulator, where to start?

Jackthemeangiant · 2003-11-04T16:57:16

Hello, I am interested in writing a NES emulator, tailor made for a few specific games. Ultimatly, I will be programming this for the GBA, but for now, just for windows systems. I have read through a few technical documents regarding the NES, and 6502 processor, but I a bit lost with them. Does anybody know any good sites or tutorials or anything that I can start with?

I think emulation is a very interesting subject, however, I''ve allways wondered about its legal issues, does anyone knows about this? is it legal making an emulator? and playing roms?

Making an emulator is completely legal, but playing ROMs is illegal unless either you own the game of the rom or it is a public domain rom.
