"Lesson 8 - XGS Pico PCB"

Written byAndré LaMothe, the world's best selling game programming author,Black Art of Video Game Console Design breaks new ground in game development by bridging the alien worlds of hardware and software together for the first time!

Black Art of Video Game Console Design is written for the programmer and/or hobbyist interested in software game development, but also wants to understand the hardware games are implemented on.This book assumes no prior knowledge of Electrical Engineering or Computer Architecture, but takes you on a breathtaking journey from atomic semiconductor theory to the design and construction of basic video game consoles that you can build and write your own games for! Included in the book is the entire design of numerous embedded game systems based on the 6502, Z80, 6809, and SX processors including theXGameStation™ Micro Edition and much more.
