my first ever console homebrew dream was "i want to run my code on an NES"

i asked around online and got some resources but i never actually started working on it

but i'm actually pretty confident i could at this point! it'd take some learning but i've written simple game boy stuff in assembly and gba stuff in c/c++ (it was barely a couple weeks ago and i literally don't remember which). every console is different but there is a sort of mindset you have to get used to of not only working close to the metal, but also understanding this weird, different metal.

funky registers, memory mapped i/o, waiting for blanking periods... again, every console is different but i feel like i at least have the mindset for how to learn about it and process that information in a useful way?

honestly one of these days i should just do it, cross it off the bucket list
