Concepts

• Format the SD Card with Fat32 (not extfat which is the default)
  • If the card is bigger than 32gb this could be problematic, also, it might not be 🤷
• Copy ROMs to the card
• Set the Fat32 noarch flag
• Set the Fat32 nohidden flag

NESDEV Links

Here's a collection of links that I found useful while learning to develop for the NES:

• NESDev Wiki: The definitive source for NES Dev information. A bit much on its own, but a valuable reference
• Famicom Party: A great ebook that actually walks you through the creation of an NES game.
• Toolstack Discussion: A question on Reddit about what tool stack people are using.
• NesDev Forum: A nice forum with a beginners section
• Nerdy Nights: Popular Tutorial on developing for the NES. Uses nesam and not ca65.
  • Nerdy Nights CA65 Translation: A translation of the code for Nerdy Nights to be ca65 compatible
• [Nerdy Nights Converted to Spynx Docs](https://taywee.

# Use this to set the screensaver on a firetv
# you can't set it as executable (unless you're rooted)
# so you need to run it as:
# $ source ./sleep_settings.sh
echo "Enter screensaver timeout in minutes (Default 5)"
read SCREENSAVER_ON_IN_MINUTES
echo "Enter screen off timeout in minutes (Default 20)"
read SLEEP_IN_MINUTES

SCREENSAVER_IN_MILLISECONDS=`expr "$SCREENSAVER_ON_IN_MINUTES" \* 60000`
