”Street Fighter II Remastered is a project that has been in production since 2016 as a laboratory to test various possible solutions to solve part of the problems of this game and other titles on this platform.
Everything related to art and presentation has been redone, all resources have been used intelligently to extract the potential of the console.
It is also not a port restricted to the original work, Street Fighter 2 has always been updated in arcades and ports. So part of the job was to revise the game with modern elements present in the SF series itself to give an updated look to the game.”
The hack is being archived here for safe keeping but the original download page from RomHacking.net is available.

[INTRUCTIONS]
Inside the ZIP file you’ll find the patch and the patch itself is in Lunar IPS format. It must be patched to the USA ROM version of ”Street Fighter II’ Special Champion Edition”.
Do not patch it with the PAL European ROM or the Japanese NTSC ROM of this game, it will not work.
PAL 50Hz owners don’t worry, you’re not forgotten here, this patch is fully compatible with 50Hz Mega Drive consoles with no slow music.

CONCLUSION: This is a very pretty colour hack with new hud and fonts added. It gives the old Street Fighter II on the Mega Drive/Genesis more replay value and is regarded as one of the very best hacks of the game for the system. The best hack that rivals this one is Lord Hiryu’s ”The World Warrior Plus”.
