Could Sonic 1 run on an SNES?
Could Sonic 1 run on an SNES?

Depends on if the framerate would stay steady. If released late in the console's lifespan, possibly perfectly.
Cooper James
I don't know, maybe? if you tone down some colors, and on a slower scroll.
Do you have the actual answer or were just curious about people's opinion?
Nolan Price
Could Sonic 2006 run on Game Gear?
Samuel Stewart
blast processing meme has a point
it beats genesis everywhere but on the CPU, which is pretty damn important
Xavier Parker
Nope, needs blast processing faggot
Sega wins again
Henry Mitchell
i'd ask /vr/
those weirdos are sitting around watching gameboy tech demos and shit. they'd know
Jason Gonzalez
I don't see why the physics engine would not be achievable on an SNES.
You can fucking hack Sonic 2 into a working reproduction of Yoshi's Island, after all.

Seriously Sonic fans are hackers on steroids.
Thomas Peterson
haha
Eli Kelly
there was a gamegear port wasnt there?
So yes, in some form
Jaxson Young
Curious, really.
Logan Hernandez
No.
Jordan Moore
>SNES
Oh shit I'm sorry, I thought you meant original NES.
SNES is more probable yeah, but still not completely sure.
Ryan Myers
It's a different game
Logan Cox
BUT, does it work on REAL hardware?
Christopher Watson
It'd probably have slowdown.
Lincoln Smith
Someone already ported Sonic 2 to the SNES. It runs better than the Megadrive version IMO due to the better soundchip.
Chase Diaz
I'm interested.
Hudson Scott
Jacob Brooks
>due to the better soundchip.
Dynamic instruments > samples. Come on now dude.
Joseph Hall
>yt clickbait video with a bunch of fluff and no real gameplay
have anything else?
Ryder Perez
>it runs better because of the sound
Jack Bennett
>runs better
>due to the better soundchip
>runs
>soundchip
?
Brandon Williams
Towards the end he shows gameplay of it.
Jace Young
>It runs better than the Megadrive version IMO due to the better soundchip.
Joshua Hernandez
Shows random gameplay of Sonic 2, could be recorded off an emulator for all I know.
Gavin Bell
The SNES can use any CPU you throw at it in the cartridge slot instead of its slow built-in CPU, this is what allows it to run at full speed despite the Megadrive having a faster CPU.
Daniel Moore
definitely yes but it may need an extra chip in the cart
Oliver Parker
There were pretty fucking fast Sonic Advance games on GBA, so, yeah. But it'd have to be built from the ground up.
Joshua Ward
DELET
Jaxson Young
Yes, as proven by Claymates and its blaze processing.
Could the Genesis run DKC?
Aaron Kelly
I don't think I know much about this stuff, but I think I know enough to believe you don't know what you're talking about.
Xavier Diaz
That's how the SuperFX chip works, that's how the RetroGEN works.
Jaxon Hughes
>it's literally a genesis in a cart passthrough
Yeah, so it's nothing. The SNES is doing no processing what so ever and just passing video, sound and controller input.
Evan Reyes
>SuperFX
That's an add-on chip included on 3D games like StarFox and that other racing game, the game is still "coded" for a SNES, while also taking advantage of the included chip.
I believe technically most cartridge-based consoles could pull of something like that, I can't cite any other examples off the top of my head though, or even know if they ever did.
It has nothing to do with being able to "just play games" made for other systems, let alone other systems with a completely different CPU and hardware configurations.
I don't know how that RetroGEN or multi-system consoles in general work, but I always assumed they include components for all the systems they support, emulate them, or a mix of both.
Dylan Butler
Virtua Racing for the Genesis pulled it off.
Aiden Murphy
This is not Sonic 2 ported to the SNES.
This is merely a Genesis clone-device being powered by an SNES, a novelty at best.
Nathan Lewis
Ok this is a GEN vs SNES sound thread now
youtube.com
>slow, low energy
>muffled shitty samples

>FAST, HIGH ENERGY
>INCREDIBLE metallic sounds
Is there anything SEGA couldn't do? save from staying in business I mean.
Juan Murphy
...
Benjamin Bennett
Now way. Sega does what nintendon't
John Phillips
...
John Myers
how can the genesis even compete?
James Campbell
It couldn't.
Lucas Wilson
I don't think so but maybe. Part of the blast processing "gimmick" was quick direct memory access which enabled fast blitting. It's possible the SNES is simply incapable of maintaining the relatively fast scroll speeds Sonic had, you could port it but you might have to slow the game down to something the hardware can keep up with.
This is not saying the Genesis had better graphics hardware than the SNES, just there were a handful of things it did a lot faster than the SNES.
