A cc65-based NROM ROM that times 18 hash algorithms on the 1.79 MHz 6502 and displays milliseconds-per-iteration on screen. The implementation deliberately keeps to the algorithms whose state fits the cc65 toolchain's no-uint64_t constraint (so SHA-512, SHA-3, xxHash64 etc. are dropped; everything else carries over). Useful as a worked example of practical cc65 usage on real NES hardware — passes Mesen2 cleanly; FCEUX has WRAM-mapping issues documented in the README. - Repo: https://github.com/dmang-dev/hash-bench-nes - v1.0.0 release with prebuilt .nes: https://github.com/dmang-dev/hash-bench-nes/releases/tag/v1.0.0 - License: MIT - Built with: cc65 I'm the author.

Why this section
The NES section here mixes tutorials, tools, homebrew, and references — a working cc65 NROM project that's something other than a game fits cleanly. Sits next to
NESFab(NES-specific language) andFamiStudio(NES tool) at the bottom of the section.Project at a glance
.nes: https://github.com/dmang-dev/hash-bench-nes/releases/tag/v1.0.0--standard c99— the canonical NES nes.lib usesextern voidarrays in its headers that don't pass strict C99)The README documents a real cc65-on-NES gotcha that bit us during development: cc65's NES BSS at $6000 requires the iNES header to flag battery PRG RAM, and FCEUX is stricter about NROM/WRAM combinations than Mesen — so the prebuilt ROM works in Mesen2 but may not boot cleanly in FCEUX.
