I do not know if it is a compatibility issue with the OS, some other software or the laptop I tried it on.īy default, the game runs in 640×480 resolution, which results either in a small window or a blurry image when set to full screen. Using a cracked executable, I successfully got the game to run on Windows 7 and 10, but strangely not on Windows XP. I decided not to bother, since “No-CD” patched executables are available for this bundle, but if you object to such solutions, you should expect some difficulties. I may have had to use better SafeDisc emulation software or some “cloaking” utility to hide said software. On Windows 7 I could not get the game to run from a backup ISO made in Alcohol 120. First issue is the DRM – SafeDisc v4 – which means it will not run on Windows 10. Not everything is rosy with this package, though.

The main app actually expects to be launched through the configuration front-end, and the main readme and uninstall functions can be accessed from it as well. The main application ( MegaCollectionPlus.exe) also provides a UI for choosing the game to play, viewing additional content (more on that below), and managing save states (both within the original progress tracking framework of the console, and the emulator-specific “save anywhere” feature).Īdditionally, there is a settings front-end ( configurater.exe) which allows configuring graphics, sound, UI text language and control options – the keyboard / gamepad settings for both players are fully customizable.

The games are essentially the original Mega Drive / Game Gear ROMs, with an emulator built into the main application.

Containing 14 Genesis / Mega Drive games (including unlockables), plus 6 Game Gear games (some of which are merely 8-bit versions of the corresponding Mega Drive games), it is an impressive bundle for fans of Sonic. It was finally ported to PC in 2006, more than a year after the contemporary PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. The collection is an updated release of the 2002 Sonic Mega Collection for the Nintendo GameCube. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine (8-bit version)
