Nuked-MD-FPGA – Emulating Sega Mega Drive chipset using decapped chips photos

Very interesting.<p>I&#x27;m curious if there are any specific shortcomings with modern Genesis&#x2F;Megadrive emulation that spurred this, or if this is just a pure &quot;for the love of the pursuit&quot; effort.<p>I&#x27;m not sure of the exact state of the art, but I know that getting sound emulation perfectly right for the Genesis&#x2F;MegaDrive has been a tricky issue over the years, even for Sega themselves. Though, my (loose) understanding is that the issue is moreso with getting the analog bits sounding right rather than the digital bits.

Is the RTL autogenerated from the chip images? I looked at one file 68k.v and the variable names remind me of a decompiler.

What is a good fpga starter board that&#x27;s big enough to load this? It&#x27;s not obvious from the repo as a complete novice in fpga land.

I’m curious how this compares to Analogue’s implementation for their Mega Sg.

Will it run on the MiSTer?<p>or included in that project(?) providing MiSTer for any FPGA?

Very cool. I suppose this means someone could wire this to MiSTer or Analogue Pocket, or are they lacking the correct fpga requirements?

I wonder how interesting the Genesis VDP would be for a retrocomputer project. Is there a good detailed doc for software development? I looked around and there isn’t much I the most obvious places and formats.

This was also done by Furrtek for the Neo Geo FPGA core for the MiSTer project.

Wasn&#x27;t the Genesis dev machine a Sharp x68000?
