Sega Genesis / SNES Programming
CD C9 01 Location:San Antonio, TX Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Is anyone out there interested in Sega Genesis programming? I've been taking some time in the past few weeks getting a 68000 assembler working, then looking into stuff about the Genesis, and I even had a couple of circuit boards made.

Also, you can find more of the popular assemblers and compilers there. YaVDP - Yet Another Sega Genesis VDP document. Aimed at newbies. Currently still at work though, got half the registers down.

Today, I'll share my experience of making 3 games for the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis home console. This is arguably the easiest machine to develop an homebrew game for, thanks to the powerful tools we have now. For example, I even managed to make a (very basic) game in 60 minutes, and it does run on the console!

Sega (and their TV ads) want you to know: Developers can't come up with decent games unless the console provides faster graphics and richer sounds. Their new system includes lots of already familiar components ready to be programmed. This means that, in theory, developers would only need to learn about Sega's new GPU… right? CPU

Initializing SRAM. Saving the game state. Loading the game state. Looking up and drawing the save game title. When this is all done we should have a save option on the game's status screen with a semi-friendly confirmation message like this: Also a load screen that looks remarkably similar.

I think it was actually assembler. 68 K assembly, as this article here shows. You can even find the 68K memory map there. If you are actually interested in doing it, this nice post, does contain a whole lot of information. If you try, you can even find a sega genesis C compiler ( I haven't tested it myself ),
