http://www.romhacking.net/ is an amazing resource if you want to find documents on the inner workings of older game consoles.

The SO post already links to bsnes, which does an excellent job of balancing readability and accuracy. It's still a little hard to grok the code, but leagues easier than tackling something like SNES9x.

I would also recommend glancing through the vNES source code; it's much simpler than bsnes and is very easy to understand for the most part: http://www.thatsanderskid.com/programming/vnes/index.html
