there are basic and c compilers for genesis but you will not be able to make anything playable without doing it all in asm
youll need to know 68k, bits of z80, and develop an understanding of the yamaha YM series sound chip. documentation exists but only enough to get the console initialized.
it will not be easy either. the genesis, although capable of rendering polygons, will not be able to do it at a framerate reasonable to play I Robot.

>> No.6000497

>>6000456

You'll probably need to reduce the polygon count, but SGDK already includes optimized polygon transformation code, and very highly optimized polygon drawing code. If you change the SGDK bitmap mode to use DMA, it might be almost playable.

I think Blue Lightning was all sprite scaling and rotation. Still impressive though.

Warbirds has actual 3D (back)ground elements - and I much prefer the gameplay. Sadly it was released in 91 so outside the scope of this thread. Astonishing for an 80s technology portable though, it's sad the great hardware design of the Lynx wasn't used by more developers.
