# SMS - A concurrent Sega Master System emulator



SMS is a free and open-source (MIT licensed) Sega Master System emulator written in

[Go](http://golang.org). I think it's the first Sega Master System emulator written

in this language.

# Quick start



Installing and starting SMS with Go is simple:



    go get -v github.com/remogatto/sms/

    ./sms roms/blockhead.sms



# Description



SMS is based on a

[concurrent](http://github.com/remogatto/gospeccy/wiki/Architecture)

architecture very similar to

[GoSpeccy](http://github.com/remogatto/gospeccy), another emulator

written in Go.



The primary source of inspiration for SMS was

[Miracle](http://xania.org/miracle/miracle.html), a cool

Javascript SMS emulator.



If you like this project, please star it on

course.
