<forumuser name="Oerg866" /> Oerg866 is a German scener. He is best known for his activities in the homebrew and demoscene, but also as a musician and software developer. He is fluent in 68k, Z80 and ARM assembly, as well as C, C++ and many BASIC dialects.

He joined Sonic Retro in 2006. From 2007 until 2009 he developed a modified version of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive called Sonic 1 Oergomized. In 2012 he was promoted to tech membership as a result of his Mega Drive homebrew developments.

From 2010 onward, Oerg866 has worked on Project MD, a Mega Drive game, with Sik. He wrote the entire soundtrack and co-authored the sound driver, Echo.

In 2011, together with Jorge Candeias, he released a Sega Mega Drive demo called "MDEM's first", which, even though it was mediocre and did not get much attention from outside, is now seen as the project that started the entire demoscene on this platform. Later that year, he released xm2esf, a tool that takes XM files as input and generates ESF streams for Echo.

From its founding in late 2011 until April of 2014, he hosted MDScene and VGMRips.

Based on this, MDEM started a collaborational project with TiTAN in 2012, however, as other members of MDEM had to pursue other interests, Oerg866 disbanded MDEM and joined TiTAN. The project continued under the name 'ttmd2013' and was supposed to be released at Revision 2013 in April, but it was very rough and unfinished at this point, so the release date was moved to Evoke 2013 in Cologne, Germany in August. After the failed attempt of finishing it at Revision, Sik joined the team. Other estabilished members of the group finally took proper notice of the project, and thus started learning how to code for the system. The development continued with 7 coders in total, 4 of which attended the event in Cologne. After an intense marathon, the demo was released to the crowd as overdrive and won the first place in the "Alternative Platforms" category. It became a huge success and set the bar for the entire demoscene that has evolved on the Sega Mega Drive since then. It was also the first and only demoscene production to have a cartridge release.

In March of 2014, Oerg866 released a Sega Mega Drive port of the popular internet game 2048.

... xm2esf is still the most sophisticated music tool that generates output usable by software running on the real system. Overdrive's soundtrack was made using it.

-A german Scener who has been in the community since September 2006 when he first stumbled across S2beta, (SWS2B as it was called at that time) after playing around with the Sonic 2 Beta ROM. However, at that time he was an AOL user, so he couldn't register until an Admin gave him permissions to try and pass the test. 3 months later he changed his ISP, so that he isn't a so-called "AOL-Faggot".
+'''Oerg866''' is a German scener. He is best known for his activities in the homebrew and demoscene, but also as a musician and software developer. He is fluent in 68k, Z80 and ARM assembly, as well as C, C++ and many BASIC dialects.
-He was at first just making bullcrap in the forums and IRC. When he asked where to buy a ROM Dumper, he was given Porn-Links. He got banned and he left in early-mid '07. Around July he came back, passed the test and also got a full member. After a flamewar with a member called "Sith" (The topic where the flamewar started was a hidden menu in KegaFusion wich had debugging functions. This menu was hidden in the .exe file besides the normal File-Load-Option-etc.-Menu. Many thought that this simply was a hack of fusion.exe. However, the menu IS stored in the Fusion file, so the flamewar about it was totally senseless.) This flamewar got him banned from the forums at first temporarily until August 25. Sith also got a ban, but a short one only. Oerg was inactive until that  point. When he checked if he was finally unbanned, he just saw that he was permbanned. He does not know the reason, though.
+He joined Sonic Retro in 2006. From 2007 until 2009 he developed a modified version of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] called '''Sonic 1 Oergomized'''. In 2012 he was promoted to tech membership as a result of his Mega Drive homebrew developments.
-In between that he translated a german Sonic 1 Prototype-Magazine article and contacted the authors. But when he wanted to post the answers, he already was banned. One of the reactions was: "Who banned the guy who was tracking down a sonic 1 beta?!". Tweaker told, that he would only make things up and he wouldn't be actually making any leads. Even though it was false, Oerg had to take it. He also had a hater called "Nineko", who sniped at him at every single possible moment. So he left the scene.
+From 2010 onward, Oerg866 has worked on Project MD, a Mega Drive game, with Sik. He wrote the entire soundtrack and co-authored the sound driver, [[Echo]].
-Before he came back in Christmas 2007, he secretly was learning a bit about hacking and stuff. Nineko wasn't a hater anymore also. So he was given the ability to register again, after he translated a big 6-page-long Sonic 3 article for the community. This article was very interesting, as it features several things that weren't seen before. Because of this he got a Trial member again. He was stupid, though, because he used all 10 posts at the same time. After several discussions with Tweaker, he was able to try the Technical quiz, gaining 10 more posts, that he well spent by posting several translations and a thread about his hack. He became a member again, but one that was more respected than before.
+In 2011, together with Jorge Candeias, he released a Sega Mega Drive demo called "MDEM's first", which, even though it was mediocre and did not get much attention from outside, is now seen as the project that started the entire demoscene on this platform. Later that year, he released xm2esf, a tool that takes XM files as input and generates ESF streams for [[Echo]].
