Hello people, I am wanting to start programing for the snes, would someone post a good link?
The "SNES starter Kit" has pretty good stuff, and it's accessible from the main NESDev page or the Zophar's Domain.
However, the SNES seem to lack a good "carts types" doccument like the K. Horton's one that was made for the NES. Some doccuments are innacurate or incomplete on stuff that IS emulated proprely on ZSnes and/or SNES9x, so ask the emus' authors for questions that aren't proprely doccumented.
i wanna start too, and ive been reading alot on it so im getting to understand the code-type stuff and everything like that.....but when i download these starter kits and ive also tried wla dx,,,, i open it and there's like sooo many files, how do you get it to operate?
for the basic: get a good manual on the 65816 and start reading it.
then when it comes to the snes:
iirc sndoc230.zip was pretty good when I started out
but well.. my best advice is
http://nesdev.com/#DocsSNES and google. Check out some tutorials, some docs and maybe some sources.
I hate bringing up these old threads, but I was looking into starting SNESdev. I downloaded the starter kit, and it seems pretty good. I'm just curious, when I read the "Sprites" document, at the very beggining, it says "If you haven't got "Yoshi doc", read that before you read this.". And I am looking in the starter kit, and online, and I'm seeing no such "yoshi doc". I don't really know if he's referring to another document, or if he's referring to a document called yoshi.doc about the SNES. If he's referring to yoshi.doc, I am not finding it anywhere. Does anyone know what he's talking about?
Yoshi is the name that koitsu used to use. His SNES doc is on
Zophar's SNES page, but I have no idea how much of it has been superseded.
That was the same folder that I downloaded beforehand, and found the "sprites" and "sound" docs. There is no Yoshi.doc that can be found in it. If somebody owns a copy if this document, if it exists, please send me a link to it, because it would be really handy.
Oh, and that isn't actually the SNES starter kit that I was talking about in the post above, I looked in that and found no information really valueble to me. I guess I'll keep looking at what's available.
EDIT: The information in the folder is actually very handy. I may be fine with just this information, but still, if anyone knows of a whole document titled "Yoshi.doc" about the SNES, I would be grateful if you would tell me where I could find it. Thanks!

Perhaps Yoshi.doc is what it was called before it was split into separate files.
anomie's docs are top-notch and being actively updated, though I'm not sure where these updates are posted.
What are you talking a bout ? Yoshi is just a pesudonyme and Yoshi's docs are his docs. I don't see what you are babblering about a yoshi.doc ! However, those docs are old (about 10 years old) and most likely very little accurate.
There really are not that many docs, and reading different authors can give you more insight.
Btw. the lesser accurate docs seem to have a more relaxed writing style.
