Wow! Nice work!

I reversed engineered the MegaDrive for 35 years ago and build my own hardware development kit, got a blog about this project at https://nestenius.se/hardware/how-i-built-my-own-sega-mega-d...

Very nice! I've been building a drag & drop layer on top of GBDK [1] called GB Studio [2] for making Game Boy games for a few years now. I'm starting to think about how it could support other platforms eventually so this is definitely a project I'll keep an eye on.

Sega, such a nostalgic dear thing from my childhood! No other device gave me the feel Sega did..

The game experience was completely immersive, and it strangely felt both futuristic and absolutely belonging to its time at once. It was pure Zen of gaming. Oh yes, and the grass was greener, of course..)

Flashback is still the #1 game ever for me, followed by Earthworm Jim and Mortal Kombat.

This was a great reminder that there is so much hardware that continues to have software made for it

Thank you for making this. I was genuinely considering a solution at this abstraction level for Megadrive / Sega development .
