GrandTheftTendo For those of you still rockin' the 8-bit NES, but want to play GTA III on it.
This is why I'm a little scared about my choice of degree, Computer Science. I don't have this kind of autistic genius.

Finally, a game I could actually manage to play.

Damn, that is insane! Kind of neat and all too but I think I'll be happily sticking with my PS2 and copy of GTA: SA. The nearly nekkid chicks are way better!
This is an impressive project though.

How is he going to get this on the cartridges?
(is that a stupid question? I really don't know.)

norm, I assume it will be a ROM for downloading and using on an NES emulator.

Holy hell, this guy even built his own assembler for this.

I could have sworn this was a double post. But I'm too lazy to investigate...

Wow, that's really cool. I recently purchased the collector's addition of Madden that features a few of the old games - including the 8 and 16 bit versions. I thought it'd be fun to relive the games I spent hours on as a pre-teen, but I found them weak, confusing, restricting and incredibly annoying.
This looks really cool but I bet it's not much fun to play.

that's boring. I actually HAVE an NES, and was thinking I'd get a new game for it.

I'm sure it'd be possible to play it on a real Nintendo, but you'd need an EPROM cart or something to write the code to.

Does anyone know of a reliable, online place that sells flash carts? I askMe-d this question a few months ago and didn't really get much of a response. It would be keen to play this on an NES.

Holy shit, it's a thing to play Sierra games on your GBA. I didn't even realize such a thing existed.
