Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
mstan/SuperMarioLand2Recomp
A static recompilation of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (version 1.0) with the author’s own version of gb-recompiled and the recomp-ui launcher. One program carries two recompiled versions of the cartridge: the original Game Boy one and Super Mario Land 2 DX 1.8.1, toruzz’s color hack, which is applied to your ROM in memory at boot and runs as a Game Boy Color game, with Luigi and no slowdown; you pick it on the Mods page. Another optional mod adds adaptive widescreen (fit to window, 16:9, 21:9, or 32:9): the center is still the console’s picture and the margins are rebuilt from the level data, with an option to spawn enemies at the edge of what you see. It has save states and rewind by holding R. Since 0.2.0 (October 19), with Windows, Linux, and Android builds, it runs the console’s original boot ROM. Testing covers 6,500-frame routes in both versions, not a full playthrough. The repository and the download include the Super Mario Land 2 DX BPS patch. 59 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins (UE) ROM, version 1.0 (CRC32 D5EC24E4); the DX version is derived from it. Plus the Game Boy boot ROM (256 bytes) for the original version and the Game Boy Color one (2,304 bytes) for DX. 64-bit Windows, x86-64 Linux, or ARM64 Android.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
patricksmill/sml2-rs
An enhanced desktop edition, called Six Golden Coins, rewritten in Rust. It is not an emulator: it is a native port whose gameplay logic follows the original game’s code, though its author warns it doesn’t aim for emulator accuracy and there will be small differences in timing and edge cases. It adds widescreen (16:9, 21:9, or the window’s aspect ratio), camera zoom-out up to 200%, optional frame interpolation, Game Boy, Pocket, Game Boy Color, and Super Game Boy palettes, and an SML2DX mode with that hack’s graphics and colors, with Mario or Luigi, from your own SML2DX ROM. The screen expansions activate enemies sooner beyond the original edge, so some encounters change. Releases are a single executable for Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon macOS; 0.2.0 is from November 1. The repository holds behavior-test recordings, not game data. 76 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own Super Mario Land 2 UE v1.0 ROM, imported from Settings, Game, Import ROM. For DX mode, an SML2DX v1.8.1 ROM or IPS patch. Windows x64, Linux x86-64, or Apple Silicon macOS.
