CGQuarterly Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 There is not, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarjr Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) There is for the Dreamcast. I personally would like to see some new Master System games myself! Edited August 15, 2013 by yarjr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Willy Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Is there a big homebrew movement for the Genesis like there is for Atari and NES? Where should I start? Not huge by any means, it's still pretty big and getting bigger. You would start by checking the forums over at SpritesMind and at SEGA-16. http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/index.php http://www.sega-16.com/forum/index.php SpritesMind is a must for developers. You'll find much info on programming along with tools and examples and demos and everything. SGDK is a nice toolkit for homebrew on the Genesis. If you're looking for Master System homebrew help, go to the SMSPower forums. You'll find tools and examples and docs and demos there. http://www.smspower.org/forums/index.php 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you want to start out easy (or are just feeling lazy), give Basiegaxorz a try. That's the BASIC compiler for the Sega Genesis, and it's capable of making games. Unfortunately, one of those games was the dreaded Crazy Bus. http://devster.monkeeh.com/sega/basiegaxorz/ I don't know how much harder the compiler can be pushed, but there are a LOT of commands and functions available, including some that access the Sega CD and 32X. Just... just try to ignore the tap-dancing penis offered as the compiler's mascot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkiker2089 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 What about reproductions? I've seen lostclassics and game reproductions thanks to a yahoo search. http://www.gamereproductions.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=4 http://www.lostclassicvgs.com/collections/genesis The prices are a bit steep compared to ebaying used Genesis games. Any that I should look into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 That Fix-It Felix game isn't even finished yet! Put that one on hold; it's very good for a homebrew, but it's incomplete. Play the others in an emulator first before you take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Though not a Homebrew game here is a cool demo, shows someone is playing with the hardware: http://youtu.be/bOnbfSNnKiI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There's a BASIC compiler for the Sega Genesis called BasiEgaXorz http://devster.monkeeh.com/sega/basiegaxorz/ I've tried to suggest a development section here at AtariAge. We could grow our own homebrew right here. Gamers making games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiker2089 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Pulseman actually looks good. I have no idea what the story is on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Pulseman actually looks good. I have no idea what the story is on it though. It's a great platformer. Was actually made by the Pokemon developers, Game Freak... that's why the art & music are similar. The only official English language release was on the Sega Channel back in the 90s, so somebody made an unofficial translation which winds up on carts now.

Virtua Hamster http://www.segadriven.com/tag/sega-32x/ Heavy Machinery http://www.unseen64.net/2010/01/27/heavy-machinery-sega-32x-cancelled/ And here's one I read about on NeoGaf, "Jet Ski Rage"??... From the bottom of http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=20220662 #100 Originally Posted by A Black Falcon Oh yeah, hopefully maybe someday, if it actually exists (I'm not sure), will we see Amok 32X? I believe it started as a 32X game... that was from Lemon I think, the team with the last part of that video. I'm not sure which Scavenger team was doing X-Men... Zyrinx had a 32X project known as Nitrowrecks, but evidently very little is known about it. http://www.sega-16.com/feature_page.php?id=200&title=Developer's+Den:+Zyrinx Nitrowrecks was the codename of Heavy Machinery. http://www.unseen64.net/2010/01/27/h...32x-cancelled/ Another 32X game that looked very good IMO ( on screenshots ) is Jet Ski Rage, sadly unreleased too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) I like to see more homebrew on the SCD as well, hey the Atari ST has the same CPU as the Genesis maybe someone can run with that.

walter_J64bit Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Say can anyone fix Uwol - Quest For Money to run on the SCD not everyone has an EverDrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hey guys! I made this request in walter_J64bits cdx topic but it also applies here: It'd be a BIG help if people could burn that .ISO in the cdx topic to a real CD and play it on a real SegaCD. If it works for people then that would be huge encouragement to make AtariAge Sega Genesis homebrew. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/216047-cdx/?do=findComment&comment=2818773 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
