I suppose, that you can code it in any language that can be compiled to snes opcodes. As to actually finding, say, a c++ compiler for snes - that''s very difficult

One could always use assembler, but then one needs very solid knowledge of the actual processor. Conceptually, it''s the same situation as with x86 assembly.

If you want to make games similar to the snes there are many resource sites available for programming on the GBA using C++.

EDIT:
oooohh...and this looks nice

Goto Coding Tutorials there, probably.

I've always wanted to write something for the snes, but it seems pretty damned hard...
I'll have to look at this...

I dont know much about the SNES but arent all the games hard coded? as in the cartride IS the game, rather than being a sotrage media that contains it (like a cd or a floppy)

Actually, snes cartridges are usually simple ROM memory chipsets. Some carts do contain additional processors, such as SuperFX and DSP chips.

In addition, some (most?) carts contain a battery-powered RAM memory for save states, records etc.

Oh~ Sorry.
Im just so curious that the file size is atomy and the game effect is so amazing!

If we develop a game(ex

C game). Its file size always bigger then we can image to. The reason is Assembly? I think of it''s a only asnwer.

Its not inherently because they were written in assembly. You can write a very small PC exe using C that does quite alot too. If you know how to use the tools to their fullest extent.

There were C compilers for the SNES
