I believe the long-term goal is to ditch Starscream, yes, but a point has to be reached first where there's no other more pressing issues first, like stripping out all the remaining ASM.

The latest git code now has a port of the VDP code from Gens/GS and an initial ZOMG loader. (The format isn't finalized yet.) I also included a sample ZOMG file that has VDP registers, VRam, CRam, and VSRAM for the Sonic 3 title screen named test.zomg. Place test.zomg in the same directory as gens-qt4, run gens-qt4, and select File, Blit!. The Sonic 3 title screen should appear.

The next step is to port over the M68K emulator and the main emulation loop.

I found another open source emulator code, called Syn68k. It was opensourced under an MIT-style license by the defunct ARDI company in 2008. It was used to run Mac OS m68k software on non Mac systems. I have no idea how complete it is or whatnot, but it is another option for when the time to ditch Starscream arrives...

An old whitepaper about Syn68k is available here.

Current list of goals for this weekend:

• Make sure the separate menu bar and SDL window works properly on OS X.
• Initial implementation of the M68K C++ wrapper around the star_m68k asm library.

Well.. It's July. Have you accomplished any of those goals?
