Street Fighter II' Hyper Champion Edition Arcade (W)

Author Lord Hiryu

Here is not one, not two but three colour hacks to Street Fighter II' Special Champion Edition on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis made by Lord Hiryu designed to enhance the overall colours of the Mega Drive/Genesis 1993 retail version, it also closely matches the colours of the arcade original versions of ''Champion Edition'' and ''Hyper Fighting'' to finally give the fans are true version that feels and looks more like the original arcade versions.

Inside the ZIP file you'll find three patches in Lunar IPS, one is an earlier attempt by Lord Hiryu to match the arcade colours called ''Champion Edition Arcade'' made in 2018. The second and third patches are later more refined attempts to match the arcade colours known as ''Hyper Champion Edition'' made in 2018 and 2020, the second ''Hyper Champion Edition'' patch is called V2 to help differentiate it from the first one. All patches are very similar with very little changes in the colours from each other but they're all included here.

Original legacy download link pages from RHDN are added here as well.

These ones above from RHDN once patched only work in NTSC-U USA Genesis and block the game from Europe and Japan, they also give an incorrect checksum.

The patches in the ZIP file on this main page are (World ROMS) with fixed checksums and work with all region consoles and emulators with no slow music for Europe.

Features:

• Colours have all been changed and updated matching the arcade original versions.

• Fonts are slightly altered.

• Stef’s clear PCM and FX fix patch already added.

• Region lock out screen removed from all regions.

• No slow music for PAL 50Hz Euro Mega Drive consoles.

• Checksum fixed.

If you're looking for a more faithful Mega Drive/Genesis console interpretation of the arcade original Street Fighter II, then this is for you! NOTES:

All three ROM hacks are based off the arcade versions of Street Fighter II' ''Champion Edition'' and ''Hyper Fighting''.

Some screenshots below show the difference between the original retail version and the ROM hacks Lord Hiryu has made in the same image split in half.
