On BT's website, you will find his:

  • schematic diagrams
  • pictures of electronic projects
  • hardware emulators
  • some NES tech docs, info, pics, and related PC software

Explanation for the contents

 This is my collection of custom and rare NES technology.  There is also some pics of my sketches here.

 I wanted to completely master the NES technology.  I think that the NES architecture is probably the most durable, versatile, and efficient 8-bit computing system to ever be globally popularized.

 The NES/FC software library is huge.  The games are highly compressed.  Game graphics are hand-drawn.  All original franchise games were released on the NES before any other system.  Some games offer increadibly colorful music.  NES hardware like the Famicom Disk System gave birth to a new generation of state-of-the-art software which really pushed the system's capabilities.

 For these reasons, and some others, I have persued NES collecting and NES mod work since 1992-  I was 11 at the time, so it really took me a long time to learn about how to do all this stuff.  After learning as much as I did about how the hardware works (and how it compares to more modern computers), I have to say that the NES is truly a beautiful machine.

 I apologize for any inaccuracies that the work featured here contains.  The written and sketched documentation of NES technology here is my best guess as to how I think the real hardware works, which I will never consider to be accurate down to the gate level.  In the past, It has proven to be extremely difficult to single-handedly maintain the public-domain accuracy of these massive NES tech docs of mine, and by mid 2004, I no longer had the time or the interest to continue doing so.

 As I make this website public (mid 2007), it is now time for me to retire from all forms of NES development, so I just want to thank all the great guys down at http://nesdev.parodius.com for all the help over the years because really, half of the stuff here wouldn't exist otherwise.  The amount of  intelligent people that I had meaningful exchanges of information with from this community is unmeasurable.

 I'd also really like to thank all my closest friends for their support over the years, because these were the guys who made playing NES/SNES games, along with doing project work alot of fun.  One of my friends is a Pastor at a church in Carberry, Manitoba.  Please visit http://carberryaustinmacgregor.googlepages.com/ if you'd like to see what his Church is all about.
