Typically, videos and video series only ever appear in our Fun section. But this time we would like to make an exception, because the following has quite primetime character.

Ryan (who we unfortunately have not been able to identify further) runs the YouTube channel NESHacker, and the title says it all. However, his current video series is not about hacks of ROMs or anything like that. Rather, it's about how you can develop games and programs for the 6502-based NES yourself in 2021.

And if you've been thinking about finally getting into 6502 Assembly for a while, you'll find this video to be more than just a good introduction. The special thing about it: Ryan looks at all the necessary topics left and right of the actual programming. So there are videos on topics like setting up a development environment, the binary and hexadecimal number systems, graphics, hardware, and more.

Ryan's videos are produced to a very high standard, and the content is flawless. The speed at which Ryan goes over the topics is a bit fast in places. But what you learn in the short time makes up for that shortcoming in any case.

A recommendation even beyond the actual application scenario NES. Because what you learn in these videos can be transferred to other 8-bit systems in a similar way.

Fat thumbs up. 👍
