What is Blast processing?
Back in the Super Nintendo era, Sega's whole Marketing campaign hinged on one thing: Blast Processing.
I don't think I've ever seen it explained. It was just "WE GOT IT AND NINTENDONT."
So, What is blast processing and how was it such a revolutionary technology?

The term "Blast Processing" was originally coined in reference to the high-speed DMA controller in Sega's Yamaha VDP graphics processor. This allowed much faster DMA transfer speeds than the SNES, along with faster RAM bandwidth.
