It runs Doom, now it runs Linux
Absolutely nuts and squirrels.<p>Then again, I did know that the Mega Drive's CPU loadout (68000 and Z80) is the same as the first Unix machine I ever used (a TRS-80 Model 16), so running some form of Unix on it was therefore, theoretically, possible...
Original title: It’s Linux, On A Sega Megadrive
It's a cool project! but best to use the original title and original source - see <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html">https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html</a>.<p>I've changed the title and URL to match <a href="https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd</a> and put the other URL in the toptext so people can look at it too.
Really odd decision for it to be changed away from this original title.<p>And if I'm being pedantic (and I am) it's Sega Mega Drive.<p>Repo, which says Sega MegaDrive, is at: <a href="https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd</a>
(Disclaimer: I'm partial to "Mega Drive" myself.)<p>Wikipedia has this<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mega_Drive_vs_Genesis.gif" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mega_Drive_vs_Genesis.gif</a><p>blue = Mega Drive, red = Genesis<p>Linked here:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_135#Mega_Drive_vs_Genesis_proposal" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Vid...</a><p>(didn't find the sales numbers, for those wondering. Sorry!)
And it really is on a MegaDrive as I only tested this stuff on a Japanese MegaDrive.
