We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read.
Programming the Sega MegaDrive
Retrogaming is cool, retroprogramming is cooler ;-) What I provide here are sources and documentation that I've written. I only briefly got involved with programming the MegaDrive but it taught me a lot: especially nowadays people can't imagine that 64kB RAM can a lot of RAM to have. With all my little test programs I never managed to need more than about one kilobyte of RAM on the MegaDrive.
I've written down what I learned about the MegaDrive, maybe some other nerds can put use to it.
