What if he just used a TV scaler that cropped the top and bottom of the screen? eg. The screen is only showing 192 vertical pixels. I do this all the time for Master System games, and it fits inside the 16:9 widescreen profile
perfectly.
This also means every Master System game ever released is widescreen.

If only they had put a little bit more effort into the development of these, then I'd actually consider buying them. :X
Would "adding acceleration" count as enough?

I seriously have no idea why so many starting programmers seem to completely forget that, it isn't even remotely complex (literally just an addition and a check for the speed cap) and it adds
a lot to the gameplay.
I was kind of impressed at first until I saw the incorrect acceleration. Something so easy to program. Even my simple Riley's Letter Recycle game used proper acceleration for the platforming levels.

Perhaps, but it also doesn't appear to be cropping out any HUD elements. If this is the case, it means that the game is probably letterboxed naturally (a baffling move for a MD game, but stranger things have happened).

Thought about this thread when I saw this over on ASSEMbler's. Someone is selling copies of these pirate carts and more. If I weren't broke I would definitely get that Pokemon (I believe if I recall it's a complete remake of yellow for the mega drive!) and Mega Man one.

It's tedious because even though they're a bit too expensive for what they are, big chunks of that list haven't been dumped.
The two Pokémon games are probably
Pocket Monster and
Pocket Monster II.

Don't get too excited. It's probably just the English translated hack of
Sonic Eraser.
