The NES PPU uses a background palette with up to 13 of these colors at a time, consisting of one common backdrop color and four subpalettes of three colors, chosen from the above set. The PPU's video memory layout allows choosing one subpalette for each 16×16 pixel area of the background.
The Ricoh 2A03 [1] contains an unlicensed derivative of the MOS Technology 6502 core, modified to disable the 6502's binary-coded decimal mode (possibly to avoid a MOS Technology patent [2]). It also integrates a programmable sound generator (also known as APU, featuring twenty two memory-mapped I/O registers), [ 3 ] rudimentary DMA , and game ...
The NES uses a 72-pin design, as compared with 60 pins on the Famicom. To reduce costs and inventory, some early games released in North America are simply Famicom cartridges attached to an adapter to fit inside the NES hardware. [152] Early NES cartridges are held together with five small slotted screws. Games released after 1987 were ...
The Power Processing Element (PPE) comprises a Power Processing Unit (PPU) and a 512 KB L2 cache.In most instances the PPU is used in a PPE. The PPU is a 64-bit dual-threaded in-order PowerPC 2.02 microprocessor core designed by IBM for use primarily in the game consoles PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but has also found applications in high performance computing in supercomputers such as the ...

[17] Game Boy games however run approximately 2.4% faster than on an actual Game Boy due to a slightly higher clock speed. [18] The Super Game Boy 2, only released in Japan, fixes this.
A physics processing unit (PPU) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to handle the calculations of physics, especially in the physics engine of video games. It is an example of hardware acceleration .
The Checking Integrated Circuit (CIC) is a lockout chip designed by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game console in 1985; the chip is part of a system known as 10NES, in which a key (which is stored in the game) is used by the lock (stored in the console) to both check if the game is authentic, and if the game is the ...
