Sonic the Hedgehog

Sega Genesis · 2026

SegaGenesisRecomp's first public game target, believed playable end to end with experimental widescreen work.

Sonic the Hedgehog was the first game brought up on SegaGenesisRecomp.

It proved the basic path for the Genesis ecosystem: native PC code, a launcher, and enough framework coverage to run a real Genesis game.

Green Hill Zone, running as a native build.

Playable alpha. The game is believed playable end to end, but has not been fully tested. Expect some visual and audio bugs.

Windows builds are on the releases page, alongside experimental Linux and macOS builds. The game is built from a ROM dump you provide.

Experimental 16:9 widescreen. The renderer draws extra columns on each side instead of stretching the original picture.

The launcher also offers intro skip, window scaling, volume control, and controller setup.
