This is astonishing, mainly because this doesn't involve the 32X or SVP addon chip at all. It's all being run directly off Sega Genesis original hardware. There's no sound effects, and the music is a scratchy recording of the original music done in a loop, AND the frame rate isn't any better than what you got off the SNES, but it's still impressive it's performing as well as it is. Near as I can tell, this is a port of the original reverse engineered code so it should control as well as that game. I'm sure down the line sound effects will be worked into it and the music will likely get converted to FM synthesis at some point, but it's amazing how well modern designers can make these old systems run.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
