So I went out to eat with this woman named Anne yesterday. Tomorrow we're going to watch a movie. She seems pretty cool. In a strange way, she's pretty awesome actually. I was nervous about seeing her outside of work but we get along surprisingly well. I get no sense that she's interested in me however, so I think I'll let that issue rest for a while.
Either my compiler is producing wonked code or my disassembler is crazy. Either way I think they think it's a big joke. I've come to the conclusion that the VDP command register is fucking bonkers and have decided to put up with its weirdness instead of trying to understand it for the moment. The 68k has a lot of mixed data types and I think my compiler is set to a sub-architecture that my disassembler doesn't like, in that respect. Right now I'm in search of an emulator with a good debugger. I discovered you can run genecyst in dosbox which is pretty wicked. No debugger but it has nice pattern/palette/registers/ram dumpers. In the future I plan on running code on a real sega genesis with a nice romulator. It's very fortunate that you don't have to deal with mappers like you do with the Nintendo. I don't like emulators, you can never trust them. One of the biggest problems when I wrote my Nintendo emulator was that I'd base it off other emulators, I think this is common. You get a perverted view of that actual hardware after a while. Which is interesting in of itself but undesirable for my goals.
You ever want to make up a fake architecture on an emulator and port gcc and linux to it? I have... hmm...
I have tremendous respect for the people who originally hacked the sega genesis. There's a video on video.google.com that documents the efforts to hack the xbox. Go watch that now! It's fucking insane these people are clever as hell!
