I often browse a lot of the megadrive dev sites and forums and I found this really intresting post - I know its not really sonic but its still a really intresting peice of megadrive coding...

For those of you lucky enough to have a real console and a flash cart the latest version is compatible with real hardware. Anyway I would love to hear your thaughts on this becasue it find it fascinating.

 

I remember seeing this posted on Retro a while back - it's an excellent port of Super Mario Bros. and what actually compelled me to finally beat the blasted game. Old, but great, definitely great.

 

I just think its a realy great example of megadrive coding - even though its just the old nes version of SMB it still shows how flexible the megadrive really is.

 

Yes, it's awesome! Mega Drive does what NES don't!

 

Dont you mean: "Megadrive does what NintenDon't"?

 

I think that he means to: "Mega Drive does what Nintendo did". (What a confusing conversation, huh!?)

 

Well it could be "NintenDon't" if you look at it from the perspective of.... "The Megadrive can play an NES game very accurately when ported, but an NES cannot play a Megadrive game very accurately when ported" =P


The port in question is very well done, very accurate, and still fun to play on the Megadrive, also I'm generally a fan of POC games/hacks so this works for me.

 

This port is marvelous! Shame that I always fail at 8-1. =P

 

so, lets just say that "Fans do what sega-tendo never wouldnt/ would have done"
