The nes reference guide is the section of the wiki were you will find all major hardware reference divided by categories in their simplest form. From this list, you can drill down to the information that you're looking for. <br\><br\>

Hardware reference

  • CPU
  • PPU
  • APU
  • Input devices
  • MMC
  • Hardware misc (?)


Notes

Some visual cues have been added to help your browsing experience. When a section is targeted for a specific audience, an icon will be shown beside that section name.<br\>
The current group list is:

  • Everyone : no icon is inserted in that case
  • [P] Programmers: by programmers we imply developing software for the nes console
  • [E] Emulator authors
  • [H] Hardware


We will always refer the hardware as the nes. If there is some extra variation for a specific region (for example, the famicom microphone), it will be mentioned under the name used from this region.

The wiki will use a wide range of well known acronym to make your reading shorter and simpler. If some accronym are still new to you, especially if you're just starting nes development, you can refer at any time to the Nes terms dictionary.
