@esponjaresource That sounds more like an incorrect setting where either someone renamed the Master System ROM filename from .sms to .gg and put it on a flashcart or an emulator.

There are actually ROMs of Out Run Europa that do just that where it loads up an incorrect palette and showing a bit of the screen due to faulty programming or something... That game does run on Master System resolution through, notably one of the few and scales down when played on an actual Game Gear. (You can actually get it to run as intended but on an emulator, you have to force to run it as a Master System or rename the ROMs from .gg to .sms. I think MEKA auto-detects this game due to its game list system so you don't have to do anything on that emulator, it's for others...) A bit silly really since there are differences between the MS and GG versions, the big one being the HUD.

Besides the two Sonic 1 GG cartridges that are out there v0 (US, JPN) and v1 (International) boot up just fine as does the Prototype ROM where it does use the Master System Sonic sprite.

In this section of Video Game Retro (Brazil), there's a second version that softlocks on the title screen by starting, and also, it uses Master System resolution and sprites, and it has incorrect colors on the title screen.

I don't exactly know how to rip SMS and GG sprites, but is there any sprites coming soon, or the island itself?

It's automatic, depending on how much clicks a system's page gets within a set timeframe.

So was there really any reason why the game gear was moved to the other systems section? This was the only place I really thought to ask this question.

I think this game could be ported to PICO-8 with the right knowledge.
