Sorry mate... unfortunately not ... all I know is that Cross Products developed it until Version 3 ... ...

You're probably aware of this already... https://segaretro.org/TUME ... it's open source and works great under DosBox (it's basically an historical artifact...) ... it contains several documents (user's guide, source code overview, programmers guide, configuration guide, "tPBin" user's guide and "tP...

Re: Sega Tech Docs archive

Hi guys, I've been working away at something for the last couple of weeks. I have a lot of documentation, tools, images, and other bits and bobs archived for all kinds of Sega systems. Like, a lot, over 15 years worth. I've been trawling through it lately, trying to organise things better, catalogu...

Re: The Video Game History Foundation: Digging for treasure in Aladdin’s source code

Really Cool stuff... i only have a doubt ... they keep this stuff just for them or will they share that stuff with the community? The source code of Aladdin is obviously copyrighted so if by "they keep this stuff just for them" you mean "they are respecting the copyright and avoiding a lawsuit", th...

Re: Sierra 68000 C Compiler

There's not much information about the company or the C Compiler in the web... Sierra Systems was possibly just Larry Rosenthal...

Holy crap! They wanted $2000 for that? You could have gotten an Atari ST/TT or an Amiga for less than that price and used a free or cheap C compiler. Even SAS/C wasn't that expensive!
