I'm a fairly experienced C/C++ coder, it's what I do for a living at least.
I have managed to do fun little things for Dreamcast so far with the help of
the SDL library. PC Engine has always been my favorite console but I
couldn't find much info so far on how to program homebrewn games for it. And
yes I would definitely go for a console-RPG to start things.
I did get a hold of HuC or something, a couple of years ago, but it was
lacking two things
1- documentation
2- sample code
If I had a little of both I would love to play around with it some more, and
perhaps in time either contribute to your team or shell out something of my
own. My suggestion would be to at least get together a page which contains
at least some basic info, and then perhaps this could spawn a much greater
homebrewn scene for the PCE, much like the Dreamcast one (which is totally
booming by the way).
On a related topic, I will order MBDX by the end of the summer for sure, I'm
just a little strapped for now I guess. Hopefully not everyone follows my
example, and buys right ahead. Though that Yowcow situation is indeed
something to deal with.
PS: your Ys 4 link doesn't work here.

Thanks Bt. I know that many smaller developed role playing games get
announced constantly for the PC and never come out. Now I know why. If
