- mikepavone 4y agoOh really, I hadn't heard that before. From doing some searching I see that elsewhere you mention that you worked at Accolade. Would be curious to hear more of the story of how that reverse engineering went down. I wouldn't think the TI manual would be all that useful given how much changed between the TMS9918A and the Mega Drive VDP. I guess knowing what a register write looks like is a lot better than starting from zero though.
