• NES 64: Commodore 64 KERNAL and BASIC port

    From OSnews@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 17 02:37:52 2022
    A few years ago, I got the crazy idea to try porting the Commodore 64 KERNAL and BASIC ROMs to the NES, since their CPUs are mostly the same. But I gave up when things got complicated with the PPU. Then a couple weeks ago, I saw that someone ported it to
    the Atari 1200XL, so I decided I';d give it another shot. This time, I was able to make a (mostly) working system.

    Quite impressive.
