Hello!
I've had recently discovered this "HiSMS" emulator (despite it was released back in 2009) - and I'm in love with it because it lets you to create high-definition hacks of Sega Master System games.
Right now I'm modifying "Alex Kidd in Miracle World". All graphics are now 4 times bigger. I'm attaching two videos taken from this enhanced emulator. Hope you like it:

Will it work with Game Gear games too?  If so I'm redoing GG Shinobi for sure...

Nope, this emulator is only compatible with Sega Master System games.  :(

very nice work!!
ypu should really change Alex's expression, he looks like in awe all of the time - he should be more determined, after all he is punching things to death  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ah yes, HiSMS or sprite replacement.

Speaking of Alex Kidd in HD, whatever happened to this effort?

I think you can play it , it is a Little Big Planet 2 mod, so you need a ps3 and a psn account. Obviously you also need LBP2.
It's a nice mod but Alex moves like sackboy (lbp2 hero), not faithful to the original game IMHO

Such crisp vibrant colors, very nice work excellent. I hope all emulators eventually do this.

I'm just being faithful to the original character design (used on japanese box art, manual and merchandising). He used to look scared all the time.
By the way a new gameplay video was released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNcGK_V960Q
Thanks for all comments and support! :)

I've recently got a Master System and love many of the games for it. It's no NES/Famicom, but its sure a lot better than most living in North America give it credit for.
