-m32 only makes that one item being compiled output 32 bit object code. As long as the rest of the makefile links together those 32 bit object files with 32 bit libraries, it shouldn't be an issue. The main problem is that most people just use lib specs like -lc or -lm, which on 64 bit machines are...

The links seem to be dead, and I have trouble finding this on HardWareMan's site. HardWareMan, can you bring those back? I'm mainly interested in DuckTales Moon track that I remember was there but I'm unable to find the ROM any more.

I found this part interesting: After expedited discovery and a hearing, the district court granted Sega’s motion. Prior to the hearing, Sega introduced the declaration of Takeshi Nagashima, an employee of Sega. Nagashima stated that it was possible either to create a game program which did not conta...

Wow that's pretty random. Why those offsets exactly I wonder?

Tiles are often stored compressed in ROM and decompressed by 68k while being loaded to VRAM. There is also line scrolling and vertical column scrolling to worry about, also animated tiles in some cases. Even if tiles are stored plain and just copied to vram the emulator would have hard time tracking...

Works from here.

53634165? All sources I've seen so far list 53693100, for example this image:

I can donate a bit for this too. For great justice! (and maybe for some raw pics too)

And what about "Contra Hard Corps", wich used 2-cell vertical scrolling to? I didn't noticed this one, is it used in a particular level ? First level, when that big one-eyed robot appears. some more that I remember: - Lava Reef boss in Sonic & Knuckles, - The flying battleship in Gunstar Heroes - A...

When his web site says it doesn't work with 32X games, what it means is it doesn't work with the 32X. While the menu starts, it won't properly erase the flash, nor does it burn the game to flash. Even MD games don't work with the Everdrive-MD through the 32X. Hmh, I wonder what's the reason for thi...

Agreed.

It was said "13 games were canceled [by Psygnosis] in an afternoon meeting", I wonder what the other 12 were.

Yeah, the same is true for almost anything except x86[_64].

True, several games even rely on this.

Then why do you have "cycle accurate" claims all over your site?

One of possible reasons for this is pattern name format - there are no free bits for more subpalette select bits, they would have to cut something to make room for this. Of course they could've make this implicit - scroll and palette planes could have used different palettes, for example.
