Emulation
Sonic Classic Collection uses a modified version of jEnesisDS by Stephan Dittrich, who was hired by SEGA and was the lead DS programmer of this game. The ROMs used in this game were modified to not show features that a single DS couldn't use, such as 2 Player modes in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3, as well as other things such as Sonic 2's options screen and Level Select. Additionally, the button on the DS is generally disabled, with the player pausing the game by using the touch screen, which actually pauses the emulator. As a result, several, but not all of the original cheats are rendered defunct. See the Cheat Codes section for more info. The ROMs used also had some sort of "lock" which restricted the ROMs to only play using jEnesisDS.
Extras
Also included with the game are an art gallery featuring 30 Sonic pictures previously seen in Sonic Jam and Sonic Gems Collection, and a credits screen.
