Ultimate Doom speed run. I am very surprised by the fact that the first episode of the original Doom is the most challenging to complete with a speedrun, time wise, because the other have some very nasty situations, and particularly difficult skips to perform compared to the 1st episode, but can be completed in a shorter time.
It's curious because the 1st episode is the one people played the most by far, when the game was distributed as shareware.

DF Retro article of the SNES Mini. I concur with him the Japanese and European models are the best looking, imho. He talks about the quality of the emulation (better than NES Mini yet not perfect) and the technology used in some games included with the SNES Mini, among other things.
Sonic 2 HD ¡¡¡¡DEMO ALREADY AVAILABLE!!! Amazing work by the fans.
It can be downloaded here http://sonic2hd.com/

Looks flat and lifeless to me. The art was obviously designed with the lower resolution in mind. At higher resolution without obvious pixels it just looks like it's lacking detail. Chemical plant is better than emerald hill at least. Background is a bit overdone with the colored lights though.
Clearly no AF. Probably the PS4 version.
the game runs at a solid 60 fps for me, save some very rare hiccups, but it's just a demo.
DF Retro has created an article on Sonic games made by the community and Sonic 2 HD is featured in it. As you can see reading the article or downloading the game, it runs fine, the fidelity to the original is great for the most part and it has lots of potential.

this is a comparison between the original and the user made remake. What's flat about it?
I did say chemical plant is better. Compare emerald hill.
I didnt quite understabd how they achieved it on the saturn but it sounds like a very complext process

Software 3D renderer.
I understood that hey used a software renderer. But how did the software renderer handle it?
He said they wrote the renderer to mimic how the PS1 did it (which was itself explained in the video).
By using a software renderer they could specify texture coordinates for the vertices. This meant they could effectively "slide" a large environment texture around the polygons, dependent upon where the vertex or surface normal was pointing (I'd guess a lookup table for texture coordinate based on normal values was used for speed).
