I know enough code to make a newbie look like a seasoned pro! Man... I would really like to see what the SEGA CD was really capable of and I hope someone at least gives these a little love for a megademo.

Great video! Thank you for featuring the work by Chilly Willy and Oerg. They where both inspirations to me while I was first playing around with Genesis/MD homebrew, and deserve a lot of recognition. I'm the one who made the DMA David game. I can't remember exactly when I first learned of the color DMA trick, but I thought it was super cool. and wanted to try it myself. I definitely agree that many of the images don't showcase the strengths of the direct color DMA trick. While working on the game, I actually remember asking myself whether or not I should just use the standard graphics mode. Many stills used in that game might actually look better in the normal mode. I just pushed on with the DMA mode, as I really just wanted play with the experimental graphics mode than anything. As you can all probably imagine, the game was more about experimenting with code, rather than creating a game ; ) I thought about creating a more refined sequel. Either a more fleshed out game with branching paths and multiple endings, or some sort of "escape" kind of game similar those flash games that were popular in the 2000s. It could still happen, one of these days. All the best!

Nice video, Matt! 👍 Great job highlighting some interesting projects. 🤓

You’ve really upped your game with this new video and the work that has gone into making it )

Great video MatteusBeus Retro Sega 👍 I always loved the MEGA CD growing up but my mum couldn’t get it for me back then as a kid. I also watched a video from Pigsy Retro who’s doing the Mega Drive Symphony of the Night he mentioned in one of his videos that Seth the creator of SGDK was working on something like SGDK for Mega Cd and I think if enough of us from the retro gaming community help try to support Seth so he could make it and would be amazing as I think the Mega Cd was capable of so much especially with talented people like you Matteus retro and Pigsy Retro plus many other people in the community

That’s awesome, it’s always so cool to see what homebrew can do with the system as I do think there is so much untapped potential in the tower of power. I don’t suppose you can point me to any documentation about how people handle the 50Hz/60Hz difference? My googling isn’t coming up with anything and I would like to port a Sega CD game to PAL.

Great video! If you ever have the time and inclination, I'd love to see a video on the scaling capabilities of the Mega CD. For example, could it produce a faithful port of the SNES Mario Kart? Also, for the Samurai Showdown port would it have been possible to use the ASICS chip to do the zoom in/out effect on the sprites/backgrounds, or would that have slowed down the framerate too much?

I love Chilly willy. I have been following his work for years, mainly for the 32x. He must be incredibly intelligent. I salute Mr Willy.

Cool mods/homebrewd, hopefully someone can create cleaner/clearer sound effect mod for the genesis. Also, easier access to the dma color count and pallettes for color mods/hacks.

Damn, I want to watch The Dark Knight in Sega CD quality now.

Nice round up! I think you explain things really well!!

Fantastic video, appreciate the well informed delivery and easily digestible format and the github links.

Really impressive. Congrats!

Great video! It makes me wonder though, with Chilly Willy's MOD Player how possible it could be to make a full stack version that utilizes the 32x, CD and MD RAM all at once...

If the Sega CD had displayed many more colors in the games it would have been successful and would have compensated for the high price at the time (1991-'93). Visually, identical to the "conventional" Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

Fantastic stuff, sir!

I've always wondered something about the Mega CD: Isn't it possible to make a RAM expansion cart aimed at things other than save files? It would really help with games like Fatal Fury Special, adding more frames of animation and such

Great stuff as usual...

Viva sega siempre siempre eternamente y ojalá agan muchos más juegos para el Sega CD y 32X usando todas sus capacidades técnicas al 100%

Great vid, mate. It's like a nice bite-sized weekly nerd news. ;)

Great video :) thank you!

Señor Saludos desde Michoacán de Ocampo México un abrazo

Please Sir can i have more? More Mega CD stuff thanks!!!

Nice!!

Señor El sega Génesis unido ensamblado al sega cd usando toda la CPU GPU RAM y RAM externa del cartucho de backups podría portear el juego del neo geo art of fighting 3, kof 94, samuray showdon 2, wold héroes jet O el mortal combat 3 ultimate completo de arcade

3:06 - I guess its utility also depends on how large each image is, and whether the images are easily compressed to speed up load times. I'll have a play with this stuff. Cheers!

Cool =D

Señor Si el Sonic cd está estupendo 👌 El Sonic cd 2 aún se notaría mucho el cambio gráfico o ya no y se vería igual

Señor el sega cd soportaría el street fighter Alpha 2&3 o el street fighter zero y zero 2

Señor Si el Génesis hubiera sido de 10 MHz y 4096 colores 1 MB RAM con eso ayudaría enormemente al sega cd o aún no y cuanto estaría bien de capacidades ocuparía el Génesis para explotar todo el sega cd

I have a question. When the "Mega cd" is attached to the "mega drive" and we play a cartridge game, which 68000 processes the game? The 68000 of the "mega drive" or the 68000 of the "mega cd"?

word RAM

Señor El Castlevania sinfonia de la noche en el sega cd si hubiese salido actualmente podría verse muy similar al de Saturn ya que el que están en proceso del sega Génesis se ve increíble

I need the latest doom resurrection in cart form. Is it technically a 32X+CD game or just 32x?

Whats best emulater for this i cart find a good one on hd 10 fier tablet 11 gen

The music is too loud, my ADD brain can't focus.

Great video but far too many muricanisms and not enough English.
