How To Upscale
Sonic 2 (Composite)

Sega Genesis Cleanup-Small

Takes composite/RF/RGB/VHS Genesis footage and attempts to restore it to RGB quality. Assumes footage has been properly deinterlaced via field duplication from 240p to 480p/720p/etc. Note that:

  • All footage was captured in 240p/480p/720p NTSC.
  • Ground truth RGB footage was captured via a triple-bypassed Model 2 Genesis with new capacitors via the Retrotink 2x or GBS Control. Other footage was captured from various Model 1 Genesis consoles (with and without the "High Definition Graphics" mark).
  • The model was trained exclusively on individual frames, so it can't fix things like dropouts.
  • Should help fix color, blur, and jailbars.
  • Cannot un-dither fully blended pixels.

Compared to the OmniSR variant of this model, this version runs more quickly (despite the larger model file size), and should do a good job on footage captured directly from the console using composite or RGB. If your footage is from a VHS tape or was captured over RF, the slower OmniSR model is probably a better choice.
