NES 64 – Commodore 64 Kernal and Basic ROMs Ported to the NES

I was just thinking that what the NES really needs is the world's slowest disk drive.

Where does this spelling &quot;kernal&quot; come from, originally, and why is it so persistent?<p>(Serious question, not a complaint.)

Why have I never thought of trying to get AppleSoft running on the NES? I have no imagination.

I love this, but it&#x27;s kinda the wrong direction as C64 BASIC had no instructions for gfx and sound.. it was all through pokes. I liked using Simon&#x27;s Basic to get GFX on my C64 back in the day, but until I had it, I highly envied the Apple 2 and Atari BASIC commands!

Wow I had no idea there was a keyboard and BASIC ROM for the Famicom: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Family_BASIC" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Family_BASIC</a> It&#x27;s a shame this never got released for the NES in the USA. I would have had a lot more fun with this instead of the silly Rob robot.

What fun. I was an Atari guy but I could get into something like the Apple II firmware running on something from the era with more interesting graphics and sound hardware.

Very impressive. Should be relatively simple to port it to the SNES.
