Welcome to the GenStation wiki!

Current state

Here is nothing at all at this moment, but I hope something will. Why? Check FAQ

Concept

There are a lot of Sega Genesis Emulation software already. So what new I want to bring with this emulator?

  • Cycle step emulation

    Why I don't call it "cycle accurate"? Because I don't mean it. Cycle step is cycle step. It means, that any process would be emulated exactly by one step.

  • Best debug features

    I want to help to any developer of homebrew or even commercial game.

  • Reveal all bugs in emulator

    I hope that all bugs would be revealed in emulator, and if game is working in emulator, then it'll work on real Hardware.

  • Rerecording

    It's very cool feature, because if you can replicate bug, then it helps you to find what it caused.

Core would be writen in C, if sowething is not enough, then C++. Graphical interface, I think Qt.

Tasks

By priority:
  • Motorola M68000
  • VDP

FAQ

Why did you announce and yell to everyone about empty folder?

Because I don't want to hide anything. So everyone who wants to contribute, can do it, because he know about this project.

I don't belive to empty folder. I want to see something!

At this moment you can see only wiki and license.

Why you didn't post first working version? It's more sensible to show something working.

If I would wait until I release first working version, then it'll be hidden for a long time, and then it gonna blow, and everyone ask: who is this guy? He definetely steal all sources from other open source emulators and releasing it as his own sources. Also, I hope that there is someone who wants to contribute.
