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.

- Supported consoles: Sega Mega Drive VDP (tile and sprite order)
