G-ZERO
A downloadable game
This is G-zero, a WIP racing game with mode 7 style rotation background inspired on F-zero, for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive.
Download the file and use with an emulator of your choice.
The game works on real hardware, so if you have a SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive and an Everdrive, you can copy the file to the SD card and play the demo.
In the .7z file there are 2 Rom files:
g-zero_main_newbeta3b_15cars.bin
g-zero_main_newbeta3b_5cars.bin
The first one is just a test to see how behave the game with many cars (in this case up to 15).
The other file is the "normal game" where it will be with up to 5 rival cars.

Hey there, I hope you don't mind, but I have placed G-Zero in the best homebrew MD games.
A nice game with a good sense of speed that's very close to the SNES original. We're very excited about the finished version, which we'll be happy to review again after its release. Our German-language preview can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:19:55. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
It's kinda crazy that it got an update after 5 years!
Looks good, I'd like to ask one question, though: how are you achieving "Mode 7" on Sega Genesis hardware?
Is done with software, there is a framebuffer(the road area after the parallax backgrounds)where is drawn by the cpu on a pixel by pixel (really a byte = two pixels) based rendering.
Fantastic as always my friend!!!
Thanks a lot
You are amazing. Doing this in the language is for few. One of the few who develops in the native language of the console. My congratulations.
Thanks!
Yes, is the power of ASM! ;)
Fantastic job, man!
I think the speed difference between two parallax layers is a bit too much to the point where it looks distracting.
If you ever need pixel art for this - hit me up! I have a lot of experience working within Genny restrictions.
Maybe is too fast? I could change to half speed both layers.
This looks amazing.
Great job!
Thanks!
Looking amazing! Very pretty too!
Thanks!
