Matt,
I stumbled upon your blog tonight as I too have begun my quest to begin programming for the Sega Genesis (sorry I’m from the states, but I’m getting used to calling it the Mega Drive). Anyways, if you ever have a minute I would love to chat via Gmail, Skype, etc.
Thanks,
Jarrod
Hi Jarrod, I’ll send you a personal message 🙂
…make that email. I didn’t know WordPress didn’t have PM’s!
Hi, thank you for these posts. I’m finishing a Master System emulator and I have about 10% of my Genesis emulator done, so I found your site searching for some genesis stuff. At the moment I’m starting to translate Landstalker to portuguese, but I still have a lot of genesis programming and romhacking to learn. Maybe we can exchange some information and learn together. Please, send me an email. Thanks….
Hello,
I really like these blog but where can I get the source code?
That site requires me to pay, is it possible to get the files?
Please send them to my email.
Hi,
It shouldn’t require you to pay, is there a “free server” option? If it does require you to pay then I’ll move them somewhere else fast!
Matt
Well later I found out that they were actually deleted, since by then I only read 3rd and 4th chapters. But there are other sources, from chapter 5 so it’s good. Thanks for your fast reply, this blog is awesome.
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you. I’m a self-taught programmer fiddling around with developing stuff for the Genesis, and your posts were an *immense* help.
😀
Glad you like it! Are you making a game?
For now, I’m trying to get the basics down first. VDP. Animation & movement. Sound.
But yeah, my long term goals are to create a rudimentary shmup.
Hello, Matt! Thank you for all of your work with this blog. It’s a fantastic resource!
My wife and I are working very hard on several MD / Genesis projects. If you’d be so kind, I’d like to share our story with you, and get your feedback on a project we’re working on. I can PM you at SpritesMind, or you’re most welcome to email me directly. Thanks for your time – hope to hear from you soon!
Hi John,
I would love to hear about your project! I’m “BigEvilCorporation” on SpritesMind, hit me up!
Matt
Hi, Matt! I sent you a PM on Spritesmind as “john8248.” Not sure if it got to you, though, as the message isn’t in my Sentbox. Sorry for the confusion – feel free to email me directly if there’s any trouble. Many thanks again!
Hi Matt.
I’m the Carthage Engine guy from Team Norwegian Blue and the University of Lincoln Game Jams. I was wondering if you could throw me an email sometime, I’d really appreciate some guidance on getting myself into the games industry when I graduate, particularly engine development.
My gmail is kylargrey and my site is dakshen.co.uk, feel free to have a look around.
Many thanks in advance and I hope to see you again at next year’s Jam.
Hello, Matt!
As I see from your blog and your LinkedIn profile, you’re not just a game developer, but a passionate gamer. Me too, though our preferences may not be the same. I love AAA RPG projects more and now I’m even able to make them come out faster as I recruit for them. One Polish studio now needs an experienced C++ senior. I’d be grateful for both your own interest or recomendation.
Hi
I currently run the worlds largest youtube channel (i think) for classic video game music. I have literally hundreds of MD complete soundtracks. Come and check us out and good luck for the future

Hi Chris! Sorry for the delay, I’ve been at a festival.
I’ll drop you an email, but if you’ve got short questions with short answers then they’re best here for others to learn from.
Hey Matt,
Any chance of a sega megadrive for christmas?
Your loving brother, Jack.
Sure, if you tell Dad and the others about my Kickstarter!

Hi Matt,
I found this blog through your video tutorials on the Computerphile YouTube channel. I have been introduced to 68000 assembly language recently and this blog and the videos have been a big help and inspiration. Thanks a lot for sharing and good luck for all your projects.
