An interesting related and older project is this post showing a bit of using Lisp to write code for the NES: <a href="https://ahefner.livejournal.com/20528.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ahefner.livejournal.com/20528.html</a> Making an assembler in Lisp is not a daunting project.
Very cool code. I bookmarked the author’s repo list to peruse later.<p>I don’t get to use Common Lisp as often now because almost everything dealing with LLMs, deep learning, etc. is now Python (soon to be Mojo, for me?). Still it simply makes me happy to see projects like this.
Has anyone managed to run a game?<p>I tried it but had some issues... first of all, on Mac, I had to run `brew install sdl2` as that's a native dependency required...<p>Now, I seem to need a ROM:<p>> Where path to rom is a string<p>I tried to use this one: <a href="https://www.emulatorgames.net/download/?rom=super-mario-bros" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.emulatorgames.net/download/?rom=super-mario-bros</a><p>But just got lots of nonsense error messages no matter what I did.
Last commit to the repo seems to be from 7 years ago. Previous post from 2016:

I'm not really replying to this post per se, but the NES emulator is pretty cool. Just wondering if anyone who has posted here can help me. I posted my very first hacker news submission, but it only shows up on the "new" tab when I'm logged in (with an orange asterisk next to it). When I log out it's nowhere to be found. When I log back in, I see it. The FAQ says that "All Ask HNs appear on newest and asknew". Just a shot in the dark, but if anyone has any ideas what might be going on, it's appreciated. And sorry for spamming this submission.
