Build Status

SMS - A concurrent Sega Master System emulator

SMS is a free and open-source (MIT licensed) Sega Master System emulator written in Go. I think it's the first Sega Master System emulator written in this language.

Alex Kidd

Quick start

Installing and starting SMS with Go is simple:

go get -v github.com/remogatto/sms/
./sms roms/blockhead.sms

Description

SMS is based on a concurrent architecture very similar to GoSpeccy, another emulator written in Go.

The primary source of inspiration for SMS was Miracle, a cool Javascript SMS emulator.

If you like this project, please star it on GitHub! Bug reports and testing are also appreciated! And don't forget to fork and send patches, of course.
