Description
i come from the Dreamcast homebrew community and would like to have official backend support, as the one we have wraps the MIPS ELF to SH. i'm making a library for the console aswell, and would love to make Rust the official language for it. This is only a request for the backend, no pressure on it. If you want to know how we're doing it right now, go to: https://dreamcast.rs
Thanks in advance,
LUCiDViSUALS.
