About

NESICIDE is an Integrated Development Environment for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. With it you will be able to create NES games without the need for external editors or build systems. Everything from graphics designers, sound designers, code editors, to emulation with advanced debugging and profiling features will be featured. Your creations can be played within NESICIDE itself, on your favorite emulator, put onto a PowerPak and played on a real NES, or burned into EEPROMs and placed onto your very own cartridge.

NESICIDE is cross-platform, supporting Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It was originally developed on Windows. The porting of functionality from version 1 to version 2 is progressing quite fast, but there is still much porting work to do.
