Hmmm I told you before. Try and learn everything you can about the console you want to work on. Weather it be writing an emulator or doing plugins.

It is a very long process to learn everything because there is alot. Search for console data sheets on the web and also try and contact an emulator author or plugin developer. ;)

www.goldroad.co.uk - read the emulator related articles there, it has a guide to programming a Chip-8 emulator, which is a great first emulation project.

Hmm, I have no programming skill .. but I like to see how programs work. The url ector gave perhaps would be nice for me too :D.

It might help it you didnt start with an emulator. do something easier to gain experience. just a suggestion.
