You don't need to have watched the previous video to understand this one, but it certainly helps. Today I'm going to speed up my mission to make you understand how computers in general work under the hood, using a Nintendo and Super Mario as guides on this journey. Don't try to understand everything on the first watch. I wouldn't be able to do it myself. Watch until the end to get the full picture, then go back to specific parts to get more details. I'll warn you that the first twenty minutes may seem a little slow, because I'm going to add to what I started in the previous video, but I guarantee that after that comes the best part of the best. We'll see how to build an emulator, how cartridges work, how to start editing games and understand how to start thinking about making retro games, and we'll even talk about speedrunning and hacking game bugs. All this in a single episode! Errata: at 17:12 I said it was correct but the equation failed to show dividing everything by 2. At 13:00 I clearly missed class because 278 x 7 is 1946 ????
