I tried Lord Hiryu’s ROM hack which is phenomenal, first on an emulator and now on real Genesis hardware using everdrive-md V2 and SEGA’s own magnificent 6 button pad, combined with Stephane Dallongeville’s audio driver patch which fixes the sabotaged & garbled Capcom audio driver, this is how this ROM becomes the best Champion Edition by far.

The color choices that Lord Hiryu uses restore the stages to a much better color quality level, and are truly remarkable take a look at Ryu’s stage and the difference is dramatic vs it’s original form in the Genesis port.

These hacks also prove what has already been said by others, that Capcom internally sabotaged the Genesis/Mega Drive ports of Street Fighter to make the SEGA hardware appear inferior, when in fact it was much more capable.
