Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions about MD Engine.

Why no macOS version?​

While the right now the editor would work, we lack the hardware for testing the compiler macOS version.

All our devices are Intel-based and not M2-based, so for now we prefer to focus our efforts on a Linux version, and if the software is popular enough, we will acquire the hardware and do a macOS version.

Will it support [new platform]?​

MD Engine is 100% focused on generating Sega Mega Drive-compatible games, so we don't have plans to include any other retro console platforms in it. That said, we may be working on other retro engines! So it's best to check our website to know exactly what we're up to!

Will it support Sega CD / Sega 32x?​

Right now, the focus is on the base system. The custom PCB we use allows for 8MB of unmapped access by disabling access to the Sega CD, so that's one of the reasons we are not focusing on the Sega CD.

If you want extra features, we recommend you export the project and use the generated source code with your preferred toolchain.

That said, we may add support for those later.
