From: Harry Potter on 12 Apr 2008 19:21 Sorry, I don't know where to go for this information, but, er, where do I go for SNES programming information? I did both a Google search and Google category listings, but couldn't find it. I remember seeing one before, but don't remember where.

The SNES homebrew is more-or-less non-existent, as far as I can tell. Not that I've looked for quite some time, but the NES & Dreamcast homebrew scenes are infinitely more popular. I think I read somewhere that the SNES was a pig to program?!? Perhaps that's why it never took off? <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Super_NES_Programming> Regards, -- | Mark McDougall | "Electrical Engineers do it | <http://members.iinet.net.au/~msmcdoug> | with less resistance!"

You either have a high hurdle for "taking off" ... or you perhaps are saying that homebrewing the SNES did not take off in a big way?

Yes, of course, SNES *homebrew* never took off!!! This "sliced bread" malarky, OTOH....
