Detailed and cited writeups of the hardware architecture in lots of video game consoles. I don't have much to say about it other than it's really good.

Re: Copetti's "Architecture of Consoles"
I most certainly do need to read more of the articles contained, especially what R. Copetti listed as pre-reqs to better understanding the PC Engine & TurboGrafx-16 CPU (namely, the articles for the NES and possibly the SNES as well) --
but yes, +1 to the statement that these are a great set of technical summaries for the listed consoles.

You're never too old to learn. And the older you get, the likelier your teachers will be younger than you.
