Hi all. I bought a PS4 over a year ago, played some Witcher 3 and golf, etc. I just got Sega Genesis Classics and was looking forward to Sonic 2. However, when I select library, then Sonic 2, I get the option of X, Square(shape) and Circle for Play, Load, and Back, respectively. So I hit X. I then see the cartridge go into the box and the Sega tune comes on. Then I am given an option of 1 or two players, which I can move up or down with the left toggle. X seems to be the proper button to hit to start my game, but after I hit it nothing happens and the game goes into a demo of the characters playing. No matter what button I press, I see no registry or acknowledgement by the game that I am entering anything. Is there something glaringly obvious that I am not picking up? I tried emailing Sega help and they said try asking PS4. Also called 1800 number to no avail, and the game came with no manual. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you, Stony

I don't know much about the Sega console, but you have a PS4 and the bunch of very good games, someone are excellent, - why don't you try with the game on discount on PS STORE like The Last of Us, Uncharted collection, Tha Last Guardian, Horizon Zero Dawn, Final Fantasy XV, Persona V, Xcom 2 and more and more games on PS4...
However, the Sega console is a much older device with a completely different hardware but something is obviously wrong, so if you have bought a warranty with an attempt to replace it or return it, and as a third option, you will still have YouTube because there is definitely a video clip who answer your problem and solve the same ...
Bye and all the best ...

Thank for responding Chainsaw. I probably was not clear. The Sega Classics is a compilation of old Sega games from the 90s that are played on PS4. Similar to buying a bunch of retro 80s games from Atari, all on one disc. My problem is the first game I tried, Sonic 2, will not let me get out of demo mode. I wish I knew a kid down the block to show me, but I don't know where to turn.

Hm, interesting. Understand... The best way is to send a couple of mail or looking on net for the same game. I'm sure that you are not alone at buying this nostalgic game... Or maybe is something with yours PSN account's, if you have more, or PSN probably with their error TYPE CE.......

Okay thanks. If anyone else can help, man, that would be great. This is such a simple problem. I can not start a game. If you were here I would buy you dinner if you solved my delemma. I hate returning things. I will though, on account of no user manual and no help from Sega whatsoever.

@Stony This is certainly a very odd glitch.

If you haven't done so already, I suggest uninstalling and re-installing the game data from your PS4. Go to Settings - Storage - Applications, and then find SEGA Classics Collection and press Options, then select "Delete". Make sure only SEGA Classics Collection is ticked and delete it.

If the game is digital, then head to your Library and re-download it; if it's on disc, just pop the disc back into your console and it'll re-install (and make sure you're connected to the internet so that it downloads and installs the latest patch; if it doesn't, press the Options button whilst on the game's main menu icon and select "Check for Latest Update").

None of this should impact your save data, which is stored elsewhere.

I'm afraid that's all I can think to suggest.

Hi , although it says push x to start that's just to select the game of choice , the ps4 controller has a small options button on the top of the controller next to the triangle button the options button is the start button to get into the games and avoid the demos

@blackshark1969 , I can not express how grateful I am to you. To this day I have not been able to play this game, until you chimed in with your thoughtful helpfulness. You cracked the case! I would even send you a little token of appreciation If I knew where you are. I am serious. You provided me a happy ending. Thank you very much!

I created an account just to post here and say thanks!

I was so frustrated... I thought I'd tried everything... Option button totally worked. Thanks, Blackshark!
