That's a "recent" development though :) The original title back in the day were all written in assembly, you really have to squeeze out every single byte and cycle for something like Pokemon or Kirby.
- judk 12y agoPokemon is turn based with no AI, why would it need cycles?
- arcatek 12y agoBecause softwares are not the only one to use cycles. For example, in the GB, some memory space is only adressable during a few cycles, and so you have to optimize your code when you wish to update the video ram. If you miss the window, too bad.
