This is old news, but
Maxzhou88 has released some source code to several old "pirate" NES games made by Super Game, namely Boogerman and Pocohontas. The download page is MSIE only.
I haven't checked out those sources yet, but I was poking around in that site the other day.
Another fascinating (to me) find in there was the "FC System Develop Kit". It's a DOS program, copyright 1993. It appears to be a hardware-linked debugger, and actually much more than that. I only fooled around a bit with it, couldn't figure out how to load a program or edit memory (always went back to zero - I'm guessing it emulates very little and needs the actual NES hookup).
It's not often to run across 15+ year old NES dev software.. Or NES dev anything, for that matter!
They're quite pretty games, but the game play.. it's atrocious. What can you learn from a broken game?
"FC System Develop Kit" needs NES Hardware platform to support it running. it is not a emulator, it is only a debugger for FC game that playing with FC cartridge or using a RAM cart running NES file. no mapper problem.
