Hi!
How can i debug m68k assembly code for the Sega Mega Drive? Can i use gdb? or if not what other tools are available?
Preferably for Debian Linux but Windows is fine too...

Hi there,
The megadrive is on my list of platforms to tackle too
I've not tried it yet, but this emulator runs on windows/linux etc and has an integrated debugger. Debugging through an emulator on a modern PC is breeze compared to the tedium of the old days!

This is an excellent article on the the megadrive;

While it's not M68000 coding, I think for a first project I will give the C game library a try that it mentions.
