Site Introduction

January 2008 featured article

The Sega Saturn was a terrific console, but sadly too few people were able to enjoy it because of its lack of success in the market. Read about it in Sam Pettus' in-depth writeup of its history and most notable games here: Kamikaze Console: Saturn and the fall of Sega

Eidolon's Inn is devoted to the classic SEGA videogame systems of the 1980's and '90's. For these consoles, we offer a wealth of information, both on their history and their technology. Consequently, all available emulators and ongoing development projects are discussed.

Gens for Linux fresh builds
By: Tom Maneiro on: 2008/06/22 [01:28 UTC]

For those that already did "the jump" from Wintendo(tm) to Linux(tm), here is, after being "abandoned" for a few years, a fresh Gens for Linux build.

Version 2.15.2 brings some important stability fixes, REAL SegaCD support, fixed SDL support, and some other minor improvements. Packages for RedHat/Debian-based distributions are available for a quick install (remember, Gens is only 32-bit yet, but it should work on 64-bit distros too). Go and get it while it's hot!

PLACAMASTER 68K, BEX on Linux updates!
By: Tom Maneiro on: 2008/03/28 [03:03 UTC]

There has been a lot of movement on BasiEgaXorz world recently, with the release of v1.24, a big release, using a new assembler, and with lots of new functions and features (including 32X support!)

Taking advantage of that situation, it's time to release a MAJOR update to PLACAMASTER 68K. Version 1.30 (codename "Nabiki") feature new features (state selector...), and lots of important bug fixes. So go and grab your ROM today! If i'm not wrong, this should be the third or fourth Genesis release for this year.

Also, the BEX Linux Fix was updated, for those "leaping ahead" ;)
