The most basic NES cartridges (Those with no mapper) have very little VRAM. This means our Pattern data (the tile bitmaps) is held in ROM. Lets make our simple bitmap example - this time only using CHR-ROM for our tile patterns.

As always, this Video lesson matches the text lesson on my website, and you can get the source code as well...
