SGDK VS cave-story-md

Examples: - Someone I know created machine-optimized library in c and asm to accelerate compression, erasure coding, and encryption on Intel Xeon CPUs (https://github.com/intel/isa-l) which runs those ops WAY faster than the standard linux libraries. - My friend is making a retro SEGA genesis game using a C and asm dev kit (https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK)

Genesis fortunately has a really mature homebrew SDK that uses C https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK . People have made plenty of homebrew titles over the years for these consoles and distributed them freely, sold the roms, or programmed new cartridges.

If you are specifically looking into the Genesis you should look into SGDK, the sega development toolkit https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK.

There's a lot of retro dev happening now across the board. SGDK has led to a big interest in making Genesis/Megadrive games. Jo Engine is increasing interest in the Saturn, etc. I'm also attempting to help contribute by writing a book on Neo Geo development (it has a long ways to go)

Could this be useful from the megadrive SDK? https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK/wiki/Tuto-Maths

I had the same idea for the same reason. I have not started anything yet but I was going to try developing a Sega Genesis/Megadrive game using an SDK like https://github.com/Stephane-D/sgdk

The MD version was developed with SGDK .

There is a Genesis port also: https://github.com/andwn/cave-story-md

Cave Story for Mega Drive

Very cool. I've been playing the Megadrive version recently. It makes some concessions that I imagine the PSX port wouldn't have to.

neat. https://github.com/andwn/cave-story-md
