How can I play Sega games on my Amiga?

[KThunder]

there are genesis emulators for the amiga i think you need a fast 040 for anything although most emulators recomend an 060 or ppc.
amigenerator is one it requres a ppc amiga with cybergraphics support.

the genesis has a 68000 cpu wich of course is 32bit internally with many registers and many instructions. it also has a z80 cpu which has many registers which can be pared to be 16bit and it has many 16bit instructions.

that is much more complex than an snes which has a fairly simple 65816 16 bit cpu

i think that is what makes the genny much more difficult to emulate. even though the miggy has a 68k you have to emulate the gennys cpu because you have to controle it very precisely to sync everything,

a couple of snes emulators are very playable on 040's genesis ones all need ppc from what ive found now.

Yeah, that's what I was suggesting by using one of the Mac emulators as a framework - they use the Amiga's own 68000.

macs 68k classic macs anyway have dumb frame buffers and simple dacs for audio nothing has to be emulated there you just have to make sure the memory area is clear for the buffer and reformat the data and send it to the amigas display and audio

sega genesis dont have dumb frame buffers they have a video chip that can handle two independantly scolling backgrounds and up to 80? sprites simltaniously it also has the z80 and a fairly complex audio chip that has to be emulated. that is alot to emulate.

second that if anyone wants that stuff they really should look someplace else (still not edited out yet)
