Write the SNES vs NES Compare and Contrast document. Five dimensions: ISA, memory map, video subsystem, audio subsystem, mapper conventions.
What you ship
- A two- to four-page Compare and Contrast document anchored on the five dimensions.
- At least one diagram (memory-map side-by-side recommended).
- Citations: Copetti, Altice, the nesdev wikis, and at least one community SNES core file.
- A Toolchain Diary entry per new tool you touched (PVSneslib, bsnes-plus, the SNES core source).
Tools you use
- The community SNES core source mirrored in your student repo.
- bsnes-plus, the SNES emulator with debugger.
- Hugg 8bitworkshop.com mirror at the academy workbench.
Success criteria
- The document covers all five dimensions with precision.
- The diagram is readable.
- An instructor can confirm your claims against the cited sources.
Time budget
Plan for two ninety-minute lab sessions plus two hours of independent build-out. Slower students should plan for one extra session.
