I try to describe Direct Memory Access (DMA) in the simplest terms possible.
Please let me know in the comments if you like these kinds of videos, if they were useful, or you want more "Simply Put" tech videos!

Simply Put is a new series where I try to explain technology in the simplest terms.
More details will follow later, but this explains the basics so you can understand:
1. What they are.
2. Why they are important.
3. How you can use them to benefit your projects.

More video game console content coming soon! :) stay tuned!
