Homebrew Sonic CD Has Been Ported To The Sega Genesis

​

While there are many unkind souls out there who will tell you that the Sega CD isn't worth a look, this oft-maligned add-on for the Genesis / Mega Drive played host to the excellent Sonic CD – arguably the closest thing to a killer app it could muster.

The game has now been ported to the Genesis as part of the 2024 Sonic Hacking Contest‬ and will be released fully on September 28th.

MDTravis is acting as the main programmer and custom artist, with ‪@KatKuriN‬ in charge of original disassembly and support. Devon was responsible for the initial port code reference and un-hardcoded chunks guide, as well as providing general support, while ‪@vladikcomper‬ supplied the DAC driver (MegaPCM v2.0) and MegaPCM2 debugging. ‪@sleekflash16‬ worked on the Genesis arrangements of the original Sonic CD music, and ‪@CollisionChaos‬ worked on music research assistance.
