Controls
Boots a public-domain Sega Mega Drive / Genesis demo that fills the screen with colour bars, on a WebAssembly build of Genesis Plus GX. Arrow keys = D-pad; Z = A, X = B, C = C; Enter = Start. Use the on-screen gamepad on touch. Open the debugger to read the live Motorola 68000 registers and memory, single-step one instruction at a time, and pause/resume. Click the screen first so it captures the keyboard.
