    Are there any books that are on introducing computer architecture and...

    ...assembly language for game programmers? Are there any books that are on introducing computer architecture and assembly language for game programmers?
    or console architecture but that is too specific a note regarding the difference should be enough

    I noticed that type of book was not mentioned in a list of books recommended for game programmers

    I really just want to know how to program for the n64 and dreamcast but I will start at snes which I still don't understand.

    I am reading a book Assembly Language for x86 Processors (6th Edition) it is good but a more specific book would be better
    but assembly language is turned into machine code with an assembler which is most understandable how hardware interacts with software.

    Which console should I start with to understand how my program affects the hardware to lead to changes in display

    I want to program and see changes in a display when I complile it.


    I just want to understand these websites all the numbers and registers

    Nobody uses assembly language anymore. Modern compilers can optimize code as well as you can by hand in assembly.
