I sometimes like hearing how my NES tracks sound when switched to PAL without the driver auto-adjusting the tempo and pitch. It often adds quite a bit of melancholy.
Unfortunately, melodic DPCM doesn't pitch down with the rest of the APU channels, so I have to disable the DMC in those instances :(

The deed is done. 1-based indexing it is!
I've also decided to fully scrap the X-SCROLL parameter, as it just caused confusion with the rest of the UI and was too complicated to use in an art workflow.
The CHR Fill tool now also disables sprites and emphasis

UI / UX design question for CrossPaint:
Should tools with multiple subtools to have their indices start at 0 or 1? Which makes more sense from a general user perspective?
If I started indices at 1, it would exactly describe the pen size in pixels.🤔

Noah's Ark uses monochrome mode AND blue emphasis at the same time.
A more recent homebrew example occurs in Little Sisyphus.

It turns out if I just preloaded the A X and Y registers before each set of 4 midframe palette writes, I could have cleanly hidden all visual errors within hBlank on both NTSC and PAL🤦♂️

Here are the current number of instances unofficial 6502 instructions that show up in CrossPaint's source code.
I have found MANY, many uses for the stable ones :)

Another year has passed, which means it's time to update the copyright year on my title screen AGAIN.
Here's to a brand new year!

Wow 200 followers in a month! :D
For all of you new here, hello! I'm developing a "Mario Paint" inspired paint program for the NES, with its own "Gnat Attack" inspired side game!
Supports the SNES mouse through a simple adapter,and the NES Zapper!

I updated CrossPaint's Settings menu a bit. I realized it would probably be a good idea to be able to *opt-out* of autosaving to further reduce wear on the cartridge's flash memory.
I think this layout looks nicer overall :)

I might not be posting "brand new" #NESdev stuff for a while, so I may cross-post some older stuff from you-know-where.
Here is a plasma demo effect for the 3rd stage of CrossPaint's side-mode "Virus Buster" :)

Here's an oldskool fire effect. I think enabling BG priority for enemies looks really neat here!
