http://mahlemiut.marpirc.net/megaplayupdate-300803.zip (update from 0.72u2)

Genesis inputs now work in test mode.

The BIOS reads the Genesis inputs by switching to bank 0x142 - 32k * 0x142 == 0xa010000 in the 68K address space.

Heh, sorry about that. I guess I've just been trying to concentrate on one thing at a time. I'm sure I'll test it eventually :)

Got it running a bit - still some graphics unimplemented, but this is enough to get a few inputs mapped too. It would seem that there may be some form of ROM banking going on. Background colours are disabled for now, as I'm pretty sure that it was causing incorrect displays.

Now it can run the game. But as you can quite obviously see - there is no playfield. Don't know, as yet, how or where it reads level data and displays the playfield.

Getting there... The sprite to playfield collision detection still needs to be figured out. And I think the playfield is a little bit more colourful too.

Nothing is as scary as "Evil otto" in Berzerk! A Diamond can´t beat a smiling, evil, bouncing ball of death! :P
