The full story

Cartridge Stack made a game for the real Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) in under six hours, a mash-up of Mega Man X and Souls-style games. It uses Claude Code, the SGDK development kit and free art and sound from itch.io, and the video walks through how, including making a Claude skill for SGDK.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
