About Sonic 1 / 2
It needs a New 3DS, and doesn't run well on an old one. JeffRuLz forked Rubberduckycooly's Retro Engine v4 decompilation for it.
The game data isn't included. Get Data.rsdk from your own copy of each game and put it in sd:/3ds/Sonic1/ or sd:/3ds/Sonic2/. Data files from Sonic Origins don't work. Sound needs the DSP firmware dumped. If the normal build gives you trouble, try the rev01 one.
Mods work once the decompiled scripts are in the game folder. Make a mods folder next to them, and set the load order in mods/modconfig.ini. A lot of older mods don't work on v1.3.0.
The author lists the limits: no 3D menus or 3D effect, Sonic 2's special stages run at a low frame rate, loading is a bit slow, the Sonic 1 credits go out of sync, and there's no multiplayer.
