Reskit

The Retro Entertainment Software Toolkit (reskit) is a suite containing a variety of tools useful for creating 8-bit and 16-bit console homebrew software. Reskit allows you to easily generate tilemaps and convert soundtracks for import into your homebrew game projects.

To get started, check out the wiki or type reskit --help to view a list of supported tools and options.

Reskit is beta software! Please read important disclaimers for each tool.

Available Tools

  • tileset - Convert an image to a series of tiles for a given console.
    • Supported consoles: Sega Mega Drive VDP (tile and sprite order)
  • soundtrack - Convert a music sequence to an on-console format/sound driver
    • Supported input formats: DMF (Deflemask) Version 27 (1.1.8)
    • Supported export formats: Echo Sound Engine (ESF) for Sega Mega Drive
