Super Mario Bros. for Sega Genesis. Question.

[Rotgut]

Yo, guys.  So, to my shock and amazement, I recently discovered that there is a home brew Super Mario Bros. game for Sega Genesis.  The only thing is, I have grabbed probably four (4) different roms and none of them will run properly.  I am using Fusion and have no issues running any other game roms.

 

One of the Super Mario Bros. roms brings up a screen resolution issue (black screen, floating box with monitor resolution error message), another has some kind of Chinese lettering at the bottom but won't advance to the actual game, etc.

 

Anyone have any luck with this and if so, any advice?

I've never heard about this, but romhacks and such are a big part of my personal build. I will have to duckduckgo this information and get back to you.

Where did you hear about it?

Here's a link to an article from 2010:

I guess there are several different Super Mario hacks out there for the Genesis.  Most are pretty crappy.

 

This one seems very faithful, for the most part:

Do a search for:

 

Super Mario 2 1998 (unl)

 

There you go!

So, I run into the same problem with 'Super Mario 2 1998' Some chinese at the bottom, and no method I can see to progress. I get the same thing Fusion, Gens, and even RetroArch.

That being said, I ran a google search for SMB4MD on google (as mentioned in the article you linked) and the first link was a solid one. Booted right up in Fusion.
