THE TOOLS
NESmaker is the tool set we built to create actual hardware playable cartridge-based NES games without ever having to write a line of code
WHAT IS NESMAKER?
NESmaker is software for PC that allows users to create brand new, hardware playable, cartridge based games for the Nintendo Entertainment System in a modern development environment. These games will play on any hardware based system that can play NES games, and on any NES emulator that supports mapper 30. To see how it all got started, watch "The New 8-bit Heroes," available on Amazon and Vimeo.
