I'm at the very beginning of writing an emulator, and so far my program just shows some graphics with neither sprites nor scrolling. Some NROM-games seem to be correct, but the intro screen to Ice Climber doesn't show up (neither is the attribute table filled), but the attraction mode seems to work. The title of Macross is glitched. Perhaps someone knows what's wrong?
Does the Macross title screen incorporate sprites?

The images to the far right look strangely familiar...like they are code/data logger visuals.
It looks like for Macross they ran out of space for nametable tiles, so some of the title screen is done with sprite tiles instead, so what you've got is actually correct.
rainwarrior: The title screen literally littered with sprites - at a quick glance, it didn't look to me as it was "advanced enough" to merit the inclusion of them; thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
cpow: You are correct My main focus for writing this emulator is to elucidate what makes NES games tick.
