A repository holding the source articles of the 'Architecture of Consoles' series, an in-depth technical analysis of how video game consoles work internally, published on copetti.org. Articles are written in Pandoc Markdown and open for community corrections and translations under CC-BY-4.0.

Use cases

• learn how the NES or SNES hardware works internally
• understand console CPU and GPU architecture across generations
• find educational material about computer architecture using game consoles
• contribute translations of console architecture articles
• research why consoles can't be judged by bits and megahertz alone
• read offline technical deep-dives on vintage consoles

When to choose

• you want accessible yet deep explanations of console internals
• you're teaching or learning computer architecture with real-world examples
• you need multilingual, freely licensed technical writing on consoles

When to avoid

• you need a practical emulator or homebrew development manual
• you want API or SDK documentation for building console software
• you need up-to-date coverage of current-generation consoles
