As I want to start a career in making new games for older game consoles. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but how would you make a career of creating new games for older consoles? I don't know of any companies doing that (unless you mean for example; making PS2 games right now even though the PS3 is the current generation system). They only people actively making games for dead systems are hobbyists and hackers, and they don't make any money from that.
Second, just get on IRC or something like that and hang on!(also have you checked out Axe for calc programming?)
MapleStory Avatar Welcome back, though.
Nice to see you again I'M still around but not as much as I used to be prior your joining. As for old game consoles development, I heard Sega Dreamcast games were still developped, but remember that it might be harder to get sales since finding the consoles is now harder. Also, after seeing that SNES games site, be careful to not work on games or hacks that are based on copyrighted materials. I'm not so sure for example that the French Secret of Mana cartridges are very legal, unlike the standalone IPS patches you find on emulation sites.
