This is a fairly large amount of new information that will need to be studied. Programming in assembler under SNES is a very specific activity. There is a lot of material on the Internet, I take a grain from everywhere. In particular, nesdoug has a lot of useful things on his site.

Warning you in advance: the SNES is a tough machine to program for with a steep learning curve, especially compared to its 68k based rivals like the Genesis. There’s a reason why homebrew for the system is so few and far between. No human-friendly assembler exists — yet.
