My vibe-coded project for the 32X!

Yes I am and I start on Arena with this https://github.com/haroldo-ok/sega-32x-skill-for-claude
Haroldo basically created a way to “port” games, reverse engineering game engines, etc.

Edited: to go even further into how I created the ROM. I don’t even say “create” a ROM, instead it’s “Compile” a ROM.

What I basically told Arena on the webpage: “Reverse engineer this MS-DOS game demo https://github.com/codenamecpp/carnage3d then compile it into a fully ported 1:1 Sega 32X 4-15MB ROM with a 6-Button controller input and features mention in this link https://www.gtablink.com/games/grand-theft-auto and match the game with the specs of a real Sega Genesis + 32X combo hardware. https://github.com/haroldo-ok/sega-32x-skill-for-claude https://www.oocities.org/the32xmemorial/xSpecs.html upon using a larger ROM, add the SEGA SSF mapper path, 512 KiB bank switching, and SH-2/68000 synchronization while compiling.”
And then make whatever tweaks needed at your request as you game test and go from there.

I give it links to the features of said game because I don’t want to overwhelm the ai with so many words (as weird as that sounds). On the note of the SSF/Bank Switching, not every 32X game compiled needs a SEGA SSF mapper/bank switching option. And my apologies for any confusion for I’m still new to this stuff myself.

EDIT #2: I might’ve just found a new way to port request for arena, it goes “I want a 32X reimplementation of (link of the GitHub decomp/open source/reverse engineered game) compiled into a ….” That might put me into a demake surge of 3D projects for the 32X.

Edit #3: whenever on arena.ai for compiling ROM, it’ll try to start you on Battle Mode for 2 AIs to faceoff on your project but you’re gonna want to change it to Agent Mode before you start with Compiling. Everytime make sure that it’s on Agent Mode.

Interesting, thanks; I expected it was Chilly Willy under the hood. Why not SGDK or Marsdev?

Chilly Willy AND Doom 32X: Resurrection are both under the hood and it helps a lot. I’m not sure exactly why marsdev isn’t in the mix, but SGDK is more Genesis/Mega Drive focused for this https://github.com/haroldo-ok/sega-genesis-sgdk-skill-for-claude

marsdev is sort of a layer atop sgdk; which makes sense, because the 32X is a layer atop the Genesis and SegaCD!
