Sonic the Hedgehog PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Sonic the Hedgehog?
- Yes. SonicTheHedgehogRecomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Sonic the Hedgehog PC port finished?
- Not yet. It is still in progress, with no release so far.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. SonicTheHedgehogRecomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.
