I merged both topics.

Also a NES emulator would probably be a bit hard, because it's a different processor to emulate than the z80. The Game Boy processor was closer to the z80 so it was easier to emulate.

That said, as Yunhua98 points out, you should start with a smaller project if you are new to TI programming. Mario is a huge project to undertake and is not recommended for anyone that has less than one year of programming and when I say one year, I really mean non-stop.

Hey, that way you can understand the link port better.  Yes, although remember that reading is the opposite from writing.  ie, write 0 and read 3, write 1, and read 2, write 2 and read 1, write 3 and read 0.

Say that in English please

It is in english... If you would like for me to describe it better, then that I can do.   Okay, so you know you write a variable by saying #->port, right? So 3->port.  To read it, you do port->X.  So if you wrote 3 to port and then did port->X, X would hold the value 0.

If he releases both Project M and F-zero in the same year, for the POTY it might be calc84 vs. calc84 for the title

And yeah, looks like his priorities are apart from this project.  I'm kind of glad he's working on TI-boy tho...instead of making one game at a time (mario or f-zero or something else) he's effectively making hundreds of games at the same time by working on a game boy emulator.  Which is great
