Table based exceptions only work if everyone plays ball. Its not practical to introduce them after the fact because they will not work with any existing code including OS callbacks. AMD64 can use them because they were there from the beginn

Am I the only one who prefers the way x86 did exceptions? I really don't like that with table based exceptions, every function must include bloated unwind tables, and is also forced to conform to a very restrictive set of code generati

I think it might just be the NTSC composite that looks bad. I have never felt any desire to use RGB on my PAL Mega Drive since the composite output looks excellent. On PAL it gives just the right amount of blending to smooth out the ditheri

No game was ever fully optimized for PAL because it is literally impossible. The only way to fix the squashed down graphics would be to completely re-scale all the art. This re-scaled art would no longer fit in the existing 8x8 tiles so you
