Your macro lib is a good starting point. Here is another suggestion: you should add a board to the new message boards where people can add links to their own WORKING routines. New threads should be added with standardized titles, so that things don't get out of control quickly. This way, people will be able to examine routines and discuss possible optimizations in the same thread without interferring others. After that, every once in a while, someone could perhaps update the library with any new entries.

Agreed.

>Libraries for abstracting away the MMC layers would probably be nice too -- I seem to recall that MMC1 in particular is a nightmare to deal with directly.

We could add mapper-specific sample code to the Wiki.
