I downloaded this abomination and it turns out the output in the games is filtered and doesn't even fill up the whole screen. Emulator authors that work for free do a better job than that. I play Sonic via emulator and no filtering on my xbox and it looks perfect.

Glad I didn't pay for it.

Sonic 1-3 and Knuckles, Spinball, Robotniks' Mean Bean Machine, a handful of game gear titles, and that's not including the unlockables - I hear Comix Zone is on there somewhere, with a few others.

The emulation is great, either the intended ratio (a but smaller than fullscreen), or fullscreen.

For PS2, though, I didn't even know this game was released - I saw the one for Gamecube, but never bothered - I'm glad I didn't. Although I still need SA1 and 2 for GC. And I fucking WISH Sega would make Crazy Taxi 2 for PS2. Or at least a new one.

The low res videos would look pretty nice on a GBA screen and the intro song would fit in perfect with the odd trend of GBA games featuring speech even though it sounds like complete shit coming out of the GBA's speaker. They could also go ahead and butcher the music a bit while they were at it.

It's not supposed to fill up the whole screen. The true, non-stretched resolution is what you see with the black borders. You can press the right-analog stick if you want to display it at the screwed-up resolution. Technical explaination ripped from a post elsewhere:

"The Genesis ran at a resolution of 320x224. It got stretched to fill a normal (non-HD obviously) television screen with a resolution of 640x480. This required screwing up the aspect ratio a bit, etc. Basically, the picture was stretched and therefore not absolutely pure. Though you'd have a really hard time noticing that anything was wrong, as you can see from the stretch feature in this game.

Anyway... the Xbox is capable of displaying 640x480 (and in fact much higher if you have an HDTV), and therefore doubling the resolution of the Genesis picture to get a display is the easiest way of getting video. That would mean 640x448 is being displayed instead of 640x480, hence borders. You could then stretch it, and get your full screen view.

Sega, being the good people that they are, decided to leave both ways of viewing the game in. If you're concerned about seeing the most pure picture possible, then by all means stick with the borders. If you really can't notice the difference, click the stick and you'll end up with full screen just as you remember it."
