Overview

This is clownmdemu, a Sega Mega Drive (a.k.a. Sega Genesis) emulator.

It is currently in the very early stages of development: it can run some games, but many standard features of the Mega Drive are unemulated (see clownmdemu-frontend-common/clownmdemu/TODO.md for more information).

The repository contains clownmdemu's standalone frontend; it is written in C++11 and leverages the SDL2, Dear ImGui, FreeType, and inih libraries. On Unix platforms, there is also an optional dependency on the Zenity and kdialog projects.

The default control scheme is as follows:

Keyboard:

• Up = Up
• Down = Down
• Left = Left
• Right = Right
• Z = A
• X = B
• C = C
• Enter = Start

Controller:

• Up = Up
• Down = Down
• Left = Left
• Right = Right
• X = A
• Y = B
• B = C
• A = B
• Start = Start
• Back = Toggle which Control Pad the controller controls
• LB = Load save state
• RB = Create save state
• LT = Rewind
• RT = Fast-forward
• RSB = Toggle menu controls (see http://www.dearimgui.org/controls_sheets/imgui%20controls%20v6%20-%20Xbox.png)

Hotkeys:

• Pause = Pause
• Space = Fast-forward (unpaused), frame-advance (paused)
• R = Rewind
• Tab = Soft reset
• F1 = Toggle which Control Pad the keyboard controls
• F5 = Create save state
• F9 = Load save state
• F11 = Toggle fullscreen
