Isn't the PPU very hard? Especially the fact that both the 6502 and the PPU execute in parallel?

The PPU is definitely complex but the NES has the benefit of being much, much, much better documented than the GB which is honestly a huge advantage.

The NES also has a bunch of complex cartridge mappers but you don’t necessarily need to implement the most complex ones like MMC5.
