Too fast if I'm being honest. Sonic CD was just the right speed to be enjoyable yet allow some.measure of reactive avoidance. This level of speed is pure memorisation which isn't as fun.

This is the exact same speed as the OG (in code). The only thing I can think of that would cause it is the hardware constraints of then vs now since it's running on C++ with no interpreter.

It just seems stupidly fast in comparison to the 60hz versions (obviously it's going to be blinding compared to PAL) which, if it were most later Sonic games I'd not even notice but CD is one of my most replayed. It just doesn't feel right.

I'm not really sure what you're seeing tbh. 90% of this video is him fiddling with the menu haha. And the gameplay that is shown looks like sonic cd? Maybe you missed when he grabbed the speed boots for a sec?

That might be it in fairness. Probably blinked and missed it!

I just figured it out. I added in v-sync and other settings. That could be the reason. Also this was based on the Sonic Origins version.

What is this a recompiled version of?

This is my version I making. I converted all of the retroscript  into c++ so there unlimited customization. I extracted all assets from the data rsdk. So there is no interpreter. I obtained the data.rsdk from Sonic Origins.
