Starting on Development
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 11:40 pm
Hello everybody.
I am new to developing and I was looking for a project to join and try to learn some stuff and hopefully help it too, so I thought about Snes9x, because i have been using it for years and always thought it was pretty good and, even better, open source.
Well, the problem is: I don't have any familiarity with real development nor with the SNES hardware. I can program well in C, and I'm learning C++, but I've always had a more algorithmic approach, writing small programs in a competition scheme.
In resume, i would appreciate if you could give me some starting points to the development, like how to understand the source code as a whole, or SNES hardware manuals, or even suggestions to other projects I may look if Snes9x is a bit hard for a beginner.
So, thanks in advance.
