A project sparked by a few small changes made by Gemini to CuckyDev's SoniCPort repo in his spare time, having not known anything about C. Not really sure what the end result of this will be, but it should be pretty cool?
Here's the original readme.
Sonic the Hedgehog (1991, Sega Genesis / MegaDrive) C Port
- SDL2 (if
COMPILE_SDL2is set to ON) - pkg-config (for builds that require static-linkage)
This project uses CMake, allowing it to be built with a range of compilers.
Switch to the terminal and cd into this folder.
After that, generate the files for your build system with:
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
MSYS2 users should append -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DPKG_CONFIG_STATIC_LIBS=ON to this command, also.
You can also add the following flags:
| Name | Function |
|---|---|
-DBACKEND=SDL2 |
Use the SDL2 backend (default) |
-DREV01=ON |
Compile a REV01 ROM |
-DJAPANESE=ON |
Compile a Japanese ROM |
-DFIX_BUGS=ON |
Fix bugs that are blatant screw-ups that may harm performance (not gameplay bugs) |
-DLTO=ON |
Enable link-time optimisation |
-DPKG_CONFIG_STATIC_LIBS=ON |
On platforms with pkg-config, static-link the dependencies (good for Windows builds, so you don't need to bundle DLL files) |
-DMSVC_LINK_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON |
Link the static MSVC runtime library, to reduce the number of required DLL files (Visual Studio only) |
You can pass your own compiler flags with -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS and -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
You can then compile the executable with this command:
cmake --build build --config Release
