Sonic's Edusoft
- Around March 2007, GerbilSoft found a link to download the Sonic's Edusoft ROM. It is unknown which site the ROM was downloaded from. At the time, he thought that it was more well known, so he just saved it in an archive directory.
- On April 27, 2008, a discussion about this game started in #retro. GerbilSoft mentioned that he downloaded a ROM image some time ago, and immediately uploaded it. A forum topic was posted with a link to the ROM image. Sonic Retro discussion thread (April 2008)
- Additionally, GerbilSoft created a hacked version of the ROM in order to fix a bug. Some SMS emulators don't enable VBlank on startup, and Sonic's Edusoft won't start until it receives a VBlank. The hacked version enables VBlank before jumping to the main program code.
- Unfortunately, some people weren't so happy about the ROM release. MathUser, in particular, constantly accused (and still accuses) GerbilSoft of hoarding the ROM image, even though he didn't know that the ROM was rare. It seems that some people just can't stand it when others release prototype ROM images.
