ReWipeout 32X

# ReWipeout 32X - Anti-Gravity Racing for Sega 32X + Sega Genesis

 ReWipeout 32X is ported by D-Mar The Daytripper ([https://dmar3000.itch.io/](https://dmar3000.itch.io/)) with use of Haroldo-Ok's Sega 32X Skill for Claude and Chilly Willy's 32XDK tools. 

 A high-performance Sega 32X port inspired by Dominic Szablewski's (*phoboslab*) WipEout rewrite, meticulously engineered to run on bare-metal Sega 32X hardware attached to a Sega Genesis / Mega Drive console. ROM file: 

`ReWipeout32X.32x` (4 MB, ready for flash carts such as the Mega EverDrive Pro). --- 

 ## Technical Specifications & Architecture ### 

Hardware Targets & Constraints - 

**Console Target**: Sega 32X attached to Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. - 

**Cartridge ROM**: Exactly 4.00 MB (4,194,304 bytes), mapped from `0x02000000` to `0x023FFFFF`. - 

**System SDRAM**: 256 KB SDRAM, mapped from `0x06000000` to `0x0603FFFF`. - 

**Display Resolution**: 320 × 224 pixels (NTSC H40 mode), 256 colors (8bpp packed pixel mode) at 30 FPS (VBlank double-buffered). - 

**Racer Field**: 4 active competitors (1 player + 3 AI rivals) optimized for maximum frame stability, tight pack racing, and headroom for future 2-player split screen. - 

**Audio Output**: 22,050 Hz 16-bit stereo PCM via 32X hardware PWM sound generator. Features an automatic 30-second electronic music rotation with smooth 3-second cross-fading across 4 techno compositions. - 

**Dynamic Camera System**: Elevated birds-eye chase camera with track curve lookahead anticipation (blending upcoming track heading into camera yaw) and dynamic decline elevation (elevating up to 100 units on downhill sections to provide commanding sightlines over craft and barrier walls, eliminating blind corner impacts).  

**CPUs**: 1. **Motorola 68000 (7.67 MHz)

**: Mega Drive host processor. Boots console, unlocks 32X bus, initializes Genesis VDP in H40 mode, polls Genesis 3-button / 6-button gamepads, writes input to `MARS_SYS_COMM8`, maintains system heartbeat in `MARS_SYS_COMM10`. 2. 

**Master SH-2 (23.01 MHz RISC)**: Game logic, 16.16 fixed-point anti-gravity physics, track collisions, 4-ship rival AI grid, 3D camera spring dynamics, 3D software scanline rasterizer, and 2D cockpit HUD. 3. 

**Slave SH-2 (23.01 MHz RISC)**: Concurrent audio coprocessor. Synthesizes 4-channel real-time audio (pitch-bent engine thrusters, countdown beeps, GO chime, collision booms, boost whoosh) and feeds the 32X PWM FIFO.

## Controls Standard Sega Genesis 3-button and 6-button controller layout: - 

**D-Pad Left / Right**: Steer craft (fluid integrated lean banking) / Navigate track and team select menus. - 

**Button A (Genesis)**: Airbrakes / Dynamic Braking. - 

**Button B (Genesis)**: Main Engine Thrust / Acceleration. - 

**Button C (Genesis)**: Fire Weapon (Missile, Rocket, Turbo, Shield) / Cycle Difficulty (Easy, Medium, Hard) on Title Menu. - 

**D-Pad Up**: Toggle Camera View (Elevated Birds-Eye Chase ↔ Cockpit POV). - 

**Button Start**: Start Race / Pause Game (opens Pause Menu with volume, tune, restart, and quit options).
