Now, there are no limits (Self Introduction)

I had a SEGA Master System in the late 1980s.
In 2001, I tried quite a few games using emulator.
2006 or so I bought a SMS II, and little later a Megadrive with Mark3 adapter.
Somehow, I dumped all of it including games did not try to sell them even.
2013 I have actually been in Japan, saw the Monorail in Haneda, went to Osaka, and quite a few other things. It's not really SEGA land, but far more developed than my country in Europe.
I can eat most japanese foods!
Also I wanted to make a card for the SMS module port, with microcontroller. Over the past years, I learned everything about this technology. But never really made software for the Z80 SMS.
However, I am observing forums ike this one.
Recently, bought a SEGA SMS 1 (with card port) in a local shop + 3 games. I am tempted to hack something to the expansion port. But it's a lot of effort for cabling, and Z80/SMS VDP programming is not easy.
I will keep it in mind. I can make a small game using a controller and small TFT with much less efforts, but nothing goes over an original SMS hooked to a television, and that kind of 3-channel music.
But I'd say, making a good tune is not easy. First you need musical talent, and then you need to be able to use the very limited 76489 resources.

Only SEGA made it possible...
Actually it was the motivation to learn microcontrollers technology. It is not 8bit anymore but also I decided not to abandon my SEGA past completely. Really bought a Master System again.
Picture from Osaka too... 2013
OK haven't done anything videogame related in Osaka but was hoping/expecting it's kindof SEGA World.
In the shop they had many 100 N****** cartridges but only about 20 SEGA games- in the backroom and mostly in bad shape.
