+Yurkie Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I found this video and have read that there are tools for producing homebrews, but can't seem to find anything substantial. Does anyone have any good info or links to Sega Genesis homebrew? Know any programmers that might want to join AtariAge now that there is a sub-forum? Anyway here is a link to Pier Solar on Youtube, I think this is a homebrew work in progress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQEhpkBXLcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Pier Solar was finished and released a while ago. Wasn't Beggar Prince another one from a few years back? Someone also ported Super Mario Bros. to the Genesis as well. There's homebrew activity, needless to say, but I don't know what they consist of asides from those I just listed. That's not counting reproductions of cancelled games either. Edited October 17, 2011 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 pier solar was released about a year ago and it has been a huge success. there is currently a waiting list at http://piersolar.com beggar prince was not a homebrew, it was released in taiwan back in the 90s, and a company called super fighter team translated the game to english.

+thegoldenband Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 There are a couple of other homebrews floating around -- something involving a Pringles can, and an unfinished sidescroller that had some nice parallax effects -- but they haven't been formally released on carts. Chilly Willy has also done a few conversions for 32X, like Rick Dangerous and Wolfenstein 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Any GenesisAge or hype all in one place like the homebrew scene over on the ColecoVision/Adam forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Sega-16 forums. There is also SegaAge (sister site of NintendoAge), but there isn't much activity there. They are currently working on the rarity list/scans guide though, so definitely keep an eye out on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 There have been some homebrew projects here and there. SG Hangman was released last year. Pier Solar is the most major Homebrew to be released, and is one of the bigger and most professional Homebrew games ever. I was fortunate to purchase both the limited and non limited versions of the game. One thing about a system like the Genesis, homebrew projects are more complicated in nature thus you see fewer ones done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinctu Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 www.spritesmind.net there are at least 5 homebrew games and some ZX spectrum to Genesis ports... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKGames Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I found this video and have read that there are tools for producing homebrews, but can't seem to find anything substantial. Does anyone have any good info or links to Sega Genesis homebrew? Know any programmers that might want to join AtariAge now that there is a sub-forum? Anyway here is a link to Pier Solar on Youtube, I think this is a homebrew work in progress. Yurkie, I've been kinda following Genesis homebrew sites off and on for a little bit and started to dabble with some of the tools! I admit this would likely be the system i would defect to if it wasnt for such a great coleco scene right now! I do admit I've considered making something for the sega genesis in the next year or so, I've also looked heavily into PC Engine dev! I even picked up one of the chinese sega clone systems with a SD slot for testing on real hardware, If i got something decent running i'd likely get a neoflash or whatever the hot ram cart is at the moment. If anyone here has any experience with the c coding tools for genesis and wants to share any lessons learned or any good how to guides let me know. Take care, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There's a few Genesis homebrews on this site here. Unfortunately they are all listed alphabetically along with regular titles as well so you have to go hunting for them. But I've found some Mario and Donkey Kong games made for Genesis here, along with some silly games like Jizz Wars. And there's some games I'm not sure if they are homebrews or actual games (like 16 Ton and Squirrel King). Worth trying out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 16 Ton was a SegaNet release exclusive to Japan, IIRC, and Squirrel King is a Taiwanese pirate. The Genesis has a pretty sizable fund of unlicensed games from Taiwanese, mainland Chinese, and/or Russian developers, and while some are just graphics hacks or downgraded ports, a few are original games with varying levels of competency. Speaking of which, there's also a homebrew port of the ZX Spectrum game "Uwol - Quest For Money", which was done by a Russian developer IIRC. That in turn has been hacked and pirated as "Kolobok - Pyramida", which means something like "Gingerbread Man - Pyramid". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Willy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've done a number of things for the Genesis and 32X - mainly toolchains and examples. They're posted over at SEGA-16 and SpritesMind, but I could post here as well if people think it would be helpful. If people have technical questions about the Genesis/CD/32X, I can handle that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been interested in trying my hand at sega genesis dev for a little while now! I've released a few iPhone games, 1 xbox360 indie game and my first coleco homebrew is going to be avaialble in march. any info to help me and others interested in sega dev might get the scene really cooking?! Is there a C compiler or only assembly? I'm far more comfortable with C. Take care, looking forward to hearing from you on this, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought as much, but it's good to have confirmation. I wonder what will happen when someone eventually replies to it - it would be hilarious to have a thread with 1 or more replies, but 0 views.
