Developer gets Linux running on a 1994 Sega 32X without proper sync primitives

A solo developer successfully ported Linux to the Sega 32X, a notoriously underpowered 32-bit add-on that was designed as a stopgap console. The project works around the absence of hardware synchronization primitives—core features modern OSes rely on—by building workarounds directly into the kernel. It's a reminder that constraints breed creativity, and that "impossible" ports often just need someone willing to dig into the metal.
