But, how is the Genesis using the other hardware? Well, I did make a circuit I found online, to use a PS/2 keyboard, and a serial mouse on the Genesis. Now, the Sega Genesis IS the core of the system, the 68k in the Genesis is literally running the Mac OS 7 operating system. A ROM to boot the Genesis (with a Mac ROM 'clone'), extra RAM, an ethernet interface, and an IDE controller. The cartridge has some hardware that is required for this operation.
All 3 are being used for this project.įirst things first.
I have successfully booted Mac OS 7, on a stock Sega Genesis, equipped with a Sega CD, and a 32X. Ok, this has GOT to be the coolest thing I have done (besides my NES DVD player, but this is a SEGA forum).
