Console Development - Week 3

Apologies for the lack of posts on my blog over last week or so. I've got some spare time today so will be updating for all the modules I am studying

First update comes from Console Development, week 2's task of finding a working disassembler for the Atari jaguar didn't go as planned (nobody ever brought one and anything made for it was made back wayyyyyyyyyyy in the past) week 3 I found really interesting and have enjoyed doing the work for it.

We were introduced the the assembly language called MIPS, assembly language is programming closer to the metal of the computer making individual instructions dealing with registers and memory directly compared to other languages I have seen in the past such as c# and c++

This week through tutorial work have learnt arithmetic operations and loading and saving from memory locations. It's been challenging to get to grips with at times but I've really been able to get into the programming and enjoyed doing the exercises and understanding how it all works.

At the moment this module is probably the one I'm finding most interesting and enjoyable to work on and looking forward to learning more MIPS in the coming weeks
