SGDK : A small, open and free development kit for the Sega Mega Drive

SGDK is split in several parts:

  • The library itself provided with full code sources, some samples and a Doxygen documentation (in the doc folder).
  • GCC compiler binaries (for Windows system only as you can easily install them on Unix based system).
  • Library tools (resources compiler and associated tools). Binaries are provided only for Windows system only but sources are included so you can compile them easily, note that some tools requires Java to be installed.

SGDK library and custom tools are distributed under the MIT license, GCC compiler and libgcc are under GNU license (GPL3) and any software build from it (as the SGDK library) is under the GCC runtime library exception license.
