Korama's Sega PC Reloaded is an fan-made installer, launcher, and patcher for some of Sega's older PC games. It fixes the need for Sonic CD to launch in 256 Color mode (not natively possible on later Windows OSs), creates the necessary .ini file to turn off the game's disc check necessity, and enables Vsync to maintain the game's original gameplay speed, among other features.
