Sonic the Hedgehog (PAL 50) on Wayland (KDE Plasma)
The aim with this project is to provide myself with my own surrogates means of emulating one of my favourite games consoles.
Being my major breakout into the ever-growing, enigmatic world of Reverse Engineering and Low Level Programming, this project aims to showcase my expertise in said field.
Built using the ANSI C99 standard
git clone
make clean
make
the following output should be an executable should mdemu
For Wayland support, drag and drop doesn't work in the conventional means So I have added command line support
Simply refer to the exe ./mdemu followed by a path to your ROM
./mdemu /your/rom/path/here/rom.bin
