How to Work Two Players on a Sega Genesis Emulator for PS3 Sonic

"Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection," released on the PlayStation 3 in 2009, features more than 40 Sega Genesis games on one disc. These games are powered by a Sega Genesis emulator; A programs that mimics the Sega Genesis system, perfectly recreating every game just as they appeared on their original game system. All four games in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series are included on the disc. Beginning with "Sonic the Hedgehog 2," these games allowed two players to play at once. This feature is enabled on "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" and works the same way as it did more than 20 years ago.
