This version of Blackjack was built as a class project using 6502 Assembly for Computer Architecture 2 (CIIC4082) taught by Prof. Juan
Patarroyo Montenegro at the Universiy
of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez.
This version is programmed and optimized for FCEUX. You can download it below.
How to play:
- Press START to start the round and continue the rounds when you win or lose. On FCEUX this is the ENTER button.
- Bet using the D-Pad, left removes all the bets, and right adds all the bets.
- Confirm your bet by pressing A. On FCEUX, this is F.
- Add cards by pressing A, and finish your turn by pressing B. On FCEUX, this is D.
- The dealer then takes cards until their value is greater than or equal to 17, and the game plays as a normally as Blackjack.
You win by getting $1000, and you lose if you lose all your cash.
