    Adding some kind of a sun and anti-alaising? Does this really count as High definition? :)


    Nice job though. :)


    Oh and also, I lol'd at the requirements. It worked just fine on my old crap.

    I don't know if my CPU has these requirements but its going very slow. What settings are you guys using that runs the fastest?

    Supply a Sonic 2 ROM; because mine doesn't seem to work with it. Downloaded another and still didn't.


    I don't see this being HD either; even on my 1080p screen. I thought S2HD was going to be refully made.

    This isn't Sonic 2 HD, this is an emulator addon/modification to increase the graphics quality of the original Sonic 2.

    Looks nice, though the lens flare adds a lot of slowdown so I had to disable it.

    Played it now, pretty good. But it does go slow, even without the flash. Messed with the frame-skipping but can't get it right.

    Look for a [!] in the name. This means it's a good dump and should work. And SOTI is right, you will find one on SonAR.

    Big thanks to everybody who helped me, This is actualy really nice. Especialy when you get to the last boss with the flare which makes the explosions that much more Epic.

    Gerbil, you need to show microsoft those filters, they'll put them in every XBLA megadrive game, because we all know it's not HD unless it has realiustic browny colours like some run-down derelict city! =P
