I have been getting the interest lately in testing my hand at porting games from one system to another. Just I ended up wanting to port to a system that is considered one of the hardest to code for, the Saturn. So before I let my day dreams get out of hand I should probably learn how to code and which languages I should focus on. Any advice on which coding languages I should look into? Hopefully boot dev has courses for those languages.
 
Porting really depends on what you want to port and where. I guess the most useful languages for you would be C and assembly. Maybe you can find a good SDK for the Saturn and start from there. It would be great if you have the source code of the game you want to port first.
