Question:
What do you think of the Cyberpunk 2077 series?
Option 1: It's the best thing I've seen in a long time
Option 2: It is overrated
Option 3: I'm thinking of seeing her
Option 4: I don't see that kind of thing
If I asked you what is your favorite game of the Nes you would answer? Surely you would never think of this pirate rom, but you know what? This was a very special game for me, since it was the first Sonic I had contact with, well actually Somari ::) . But what does it matter? If that plumber was standing on the green hill :laugh: .
And although some time later, I realized that something was wrong in those hills, that was what pushed me to the world of Romhacking. And although after the great version of Jabu I thought that this game could not be improved anymore, the work of FuriousHedgehog showed me that I was wrong.
It was then that this project was born and you asked yourself: What's new?:
● Graphic editing, new graphics are created and the style of existing ones is unified.
● Repositioning objects and enemies.
● Graphics are optimized deleted unused elements.
● Some palettes are exchanged and modified.
● Graphic loading errors are corrected.
● The error of the coins that do not disappear is corrected.
● Fixed the failure that produces an instant death in the battle against the boss of level 3. (17/05)
● Most areas where the Scenario can be crossed are corrected.

:o fantastic work, it's great :beer:
A clear labor of love. These are the best sorts of projects.
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to play it. :)
I so WANT to give this game a shot when you get it done. Keep it up!
Dude,you are taking a good mod & making it even BETTER than before,keep it up friend & who knows,maybe you can improve a few things to it too. :)
Looks very nice. Are you considering adding Scrap Brain (level 6) to the game? There's still a few glitchy remnants of it buried in the code.
great stuff keep it up cant wait to see this project finished
cartridge_rom
Thank you very much, you were finally right, there were many things to improve :beer:
andrewclunn
I blushed xD
vhr2121 & itemdrop
Thanks, I hope to make the wait worthwhile ;)
DavidtheIdeaMan
Yes, previously it was just a graphic improvement, but now that is my goal :)
Midna
The engine is flexible enough to make that a reality, but I would need someone with more solid knowledge to achieve it.
Personally, I think that this Zone was left out more because of graphic limitations than technical ones. Nowadays I have recreated only the graphics needed for the final Zone and I still can not find the way to optimize the space and limitations of the chr, but that happened to me with Spring Yard and with time I could solve it.

Original Actual
Anyway I think it's a matter of time, my knowledge is increased as I continue with the project and even if I do not get it I am documenting all the necessary information to pave the way for the next madman to try it :laugh:
Thanks for sharing your own personal history of this game with us. I recently watched a youtube video of a famicom pirate multi-cart where the reviewer and a lot of people in the comments were crapping all over the various hacks (like Spiderman 2, which was a hack of one of the Ninja Gaiden games). But I noticed a post in there where somebody was from Brazil and said that this was all they knew growing up and they thought it was a great game as a kid, bugs and all. That game WAS their Ninja Gaiden. :)
Really cool that you've decided to make it your own and improve upon the original. It's amazing what you guys have managed to do to this rom so far, and I can't wait to see where you go with this Sics.
You have my support!
I really like what I see, I just downloaded an older version and I really like it, so I guess I will like this one a lot more!!
Only complain (and possible feedback?) of the game is that Sonic hitbox is small or its hard to hit enemies, sometimes you are jumping but they hit you, if you can check or fix that, this would be awesome.
:crazy:
firedropdl
It's funny in the past I started to make a graphic improvement hack of that game, but when I discovered that they barely altered a level I was disappointed and I left it :P
One of the things I rescue from this port is that you can see the effort, there are traces of sectors with 1, 2 or 3 reversals, and many other things, personally the more I edit it the more I am convinced that something forced them to publish it before finalizing its development turbid things of the pirate world :D
NiO
That's not the problem, what happens is that an instant before shooting the enemies create the projectile inside of themselves, I still have no control over that, but I can alter the position of the enemies putting them in a less Machiavellian way, but business complex I reserve that work for the end.
I also take the opportunity to clarify that most of the work is done through the analysis of raw data as they are executed. That has made me very flexible although I recognize that it would be very useful to acquire real knowledge ::)
On the other hand, I'm going to publish a list of all the bugs I discovered.
PD: It was awesome the work they did with DeadPool congratulations!
This is how the objects in the game work :thumbsup:

Each piece of the object is stored at regular intervals, but there are certain combinations that can cause gliches at the beginning of levels 2 and 3 of each zone. This error can be identified simply by replacing the lines with zeros until the problem disappears when entering the level. After being identified, it is only a matter of moving the mosaic to another sector to avoid this corrupt combination. ;)
:thumbsup: great work great
It definitely looks great. I just have one question. Will the ability to get Super Sonic be included?
This looks great! Nicely done!
cartridge_rom & Shade Aurion
Thank you!
ultimaweapon
If you look carefully it was planned to include the emeralds of chaos in the game, it is a matter of identifying if there is an object code programmed for it and see how this affects the game, but at the same time I must say that it was also present the box with the super speed shoes, but when using it in the game nothing happens :-\
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/ee27/f/2018/136/0/c/bonus_001_by_terwilf-dcbp8h2.png)
Being realistic my present self can not deal with very advanced things, but in the same way I can say that my past self could not do even half of the fourth part of what I do now, I was recently told of a guide to understand Sonic physics, but for the moment I think the most sensible thing is to keep the project with objectives that I can handle, you can always get a new version :thumbsup:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcbji9p-51c4824f-a865-4304-a2ba-26e0a6eb5da8.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGNiamk5cC01MWM0ODI0Zi1hODY1LTQzMDQtYTJiYS0yNmUwYTZlYjVkYTguZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.Pq02yW-w1piIbisrRtT2XDRDn7Lqhaw6Ql3JkSkk_lo)
I promise that the update will be worth it, but under my terms :beer:
I've been curious, is there any way to see the level maps for this game? I've wanted to for quite a while, but as far as I know, there isn't a tool to do that. The mapper program you showed looks like it shows individual chunks though, so that got my hopes up that a map viewer is possible?
Not currently, but of course it is possible, I have all the necessary information on how the levels, objects, etc. work. Today I discovered that the place where Sonic starts is not fixed, I imagine that this value is stored close to where the other coordinates of each Zone are, although I am not sure of that.
On the other hand, the blocks you mentioned form a library of level sectors, which are called through a list to build each Act, these blocks can be reused more than once, and at the same time there is another list that stores the objects and enemies and to distribute them using coordinates.
As I said in a previous comment, the engine of this game is very flexible, so it would be great to make a specific editor, currently I do not have time for that, also being frank I would like to leave it in the hands of someone more experienced, but in any case I do not see it impossible. :thumbsup:
As a bonus I would recommend waiting to be released this patch to make any kind of hack, the original game in addition to being plagued with bugs also has many "human error" ranging from objects with poorly assigned physics to directly confusing the use of the same :P
I'm excited to see the finished product
it's great to reposition the enemies, they do not let the game flow, they attack on each platform you fall into before, this will greatly improve the game's fluidity and gameplay :D
I add a suggestion to the project
- change the end-of-level banner with the sonic face, change the sonic face to the same as the life icon to be more stylised like Sonic Mania.
great work Sics :beer:
That one awful part in Marble Zone where you're dropped right on top of a spiked enemy with no opportunity to dodge and no room to get out of the way needs to go.
ultimaweapon
I also, currently I am editing Labyrinth Zone but it is full of objects that I must identify correctly before making any changes :P
cartridge_rom
While it is true what you mention, this problem is worsened by the mechanics of Sonic, he can only become a ball when reaching the highest point of his jump (on the springboard) and when he achieves this form does not last until he touches the ground , the problem is that most of the enemies are in places where this problem is evident, since at very short distances it is impossible to execute a "flying spindash", it would be great to fix that problem before deciding to touch some enemies (Any kind of help it's welcome xD).
About your request I am not sure I have understood correctly, anyway I am very happy using the work I do FuriousHedgehog for the life counter and end of level posters are based on the original Sonic, I think it is the most correct to leave them like this: thumbsup:
On the other hand thought to include optional patches so they can build their version in a more friendly, mainly out of respect for those who have improved the game and also because I drew several versions of some graphics and can not decide.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/5621/f/2019/025/d/7/z1_004_by_terwilf-dcbh53x.gif)
Midna
Of course, I think it would be enough to run it a little further back, I take the opportunity to clarify that I'm only going to modify the position of the enemies unfairly placed so as not to make the game extremely easy ;)
Already in the second level it is possible to obtain the limit of lives (9) which makes the boxes with life and bonuses completely useless, I have to see what I do with that.
I think the alternative reads a little better. Reminds me of the 8-bit Sonic 1's spikes.
I just want to see Scrap Brain get put in. But I can understand the difficulty that would endure. :crazy:
alternative is better, bigger best sprites :thumbsup:
you're right Sics, better to put everything like original Sonic ;) (level posters are based on the original Sonic)
Zone 6 - Scrap Brain in some future patch, it would be great to remove it from the unused game code :D
Midna & cartridge_rom
Yes, I used that example chart because among my friends it was the one that caused the most divergence, both are based on the canon :laugh:
Sephirous & cartridge_rom
Scrap Brain at the moment is not an official part of this project, but as I said I do not rule out the idea, it's just that I plan to release the patch this year and also deliver quality work.
(http://www.romhacking.net/forum/Themes/boss/images/post/exclamation.gif) This is the process to edit the blocks of the levels | Tools needed:
● (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1614/f/2019/087/8/c/download_by_terwilf-dd39bcf.gif) DjinnMapper v1.5.0.0 (http://chief-net.ru/clicks/clicks.php?uri=/images/files/djinn_mapper_alex_edition.zip)
● YY-CHR 0.99 (Mod sics*)
● Firework MX 6.0
● Pain 5.1 :laugh:
1º Look for a sector not used in the rom with YY-CHR and leave it in the following way:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/8252/f/2018/145/4/2/nivel_00_by_terwilf-dccjyma.png)
In this tile sector 00 represents the empty space and from the sector E0 the rings of the game.Note 1: The capture is from DjinnMapper not YY-CHR. 2º We open the game in the emulator and go to the level that we want to edit and look for the most unusual sequence of rings that we can, in this case we will work with the following capture:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/ee27/f/2018/136/0/c/bonus_001_by_terwilf-dcbp8h2.png)
3º With this in mind we load the rom in the DjinnMapper, and change the width in box marked in the following image by "16".
4º We look for a block that matches the one we chose for the example, we must bear in mind that there may be more than a similar sector in the rom. So if you want to clear up doubts you can make some easy modification to revert in that section to check if this change is reflected in the game when executed.
Note 2: You should not forget to reload the game in the emulator every time you make a change, and remember that no matter how you make changes in the rom you can continue using the saved states of previous versions, you just have to move a bit so that the image is updated.(https://orig00.deviantart.net/45d0/f/2018/145/4/a/nivel_01_by_terwilf-dccjym6.png)
Note 3: To correctly visualize the level in DjinnMapper you must adjust the image in the "TileMap" window in the same way as the first capture.Note 4: The simplest way to navigate in that window is using the keys: "End", "Page Up" and "Page Down".Spoiler
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/b6f7/f/2018/146/4/e/editar_tilemap_by_terwilf-dcckdhx.gif)
We load the screen capture that we previously made in the emulator, using some image editor to reduce its dimensions to 50%, taking care not to use any scaling method that implies the modification of the original palette of the image.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/eeb5/f/2018/145/7/0/nivel_04_by_terwilf-dccjylm.png)
Spoiler
1ª Optionally we can make a capture of the application "DjinnMapper" by cutting the sector belonging to the block that we want to edit to use it as a reference.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/a2b3/f/2018/145/f/a/nivel_02_by_terwilf-dccjym1.png)(https://orig00.deviantart.net/20df/f/2018/146/1/2/limites_by_terwilf-dcckcra.png)
When selecting, keep in mind that the right sidebar eats the last pixel of the image, so you must compensate.
2ª We divide the size of our cut in half so that the measurements coincide with those of the image used in the 5º point.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/ac50/f/2018/145/e/9/nivel_03_by_terwilf-dccjylw.png)
Note 5: Using the Pain is the most practical way to resize it, there you can paste it and press the "-" key (Subtraction) to do it.
We adjust the measures of the grid in 8x8 pixels:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/dd60/f/2018/145/e/0/nivel_06_by_terwilf-dccjyl8.png)
Spoiler
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/4571/f/2018/145/0/1/nivel_05_by_terwilf-dccjyld.png)
We fit the grid correctly:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/7a47/f/2018/145/8/a/nivel_07_by_terwilf-dccjhj7.gif)
8º We cut the object that we want to identify, in this case a cube:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/7612/f/2018/145/4/1/nivel_08_by_terwilf-dccjhj1.gif)
Note 6: When an object uses more than one palette, it captures these pieces separately, optionally you can convert the image to gray scale, it is difficult for me to use it as reference in that way. 9º We pass the cut to YY-CHR and edit your palette as we see fit.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/433a/f/2018/145/4/3/nivel_09_by_terwilf-dccjyl6.png)
Note 7: Some images may require more editing or it may just be better to redesign them to make them easier to distinguish. 10º We identify the sector where the object comes from in the DjinnMapper:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/4076/f/2018/145/9/2/nivel_10_by_terwilf-dccjykz.png)
In this case the first tile is located in sector 64. 11º From now on we will have to place all the objects in the YY-CHR using the previous criterion and periodically examine the DjinnMapper result to avoid errors, in this way we will also find new areas that will help you identify new objects.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/4c75/f/2018/145/8/0/nivel_11_by_terwilf-dccjhh1.gif)
Use F7 on DjinnMapper and YY-CHR to update the changes, and remember that DjinnMapper also has a graphics editor.(https://orig00.deviantart.net/4e52/f/2018/145/2/5/nivel_12_by_terwilf-dccjhgq.gif)
Note 8: Currently DjinnMapper has a palette of 4 colors so you should squeeze to the maximum.(https://orig00.deviantart.net/e5ec/f/2018/145/d/9/nivel_13_by_terwilf-dccjykw.png)
And this is the final result.
* To follow this tutorial, you can use the normal YY-CHR, this modification does not really add anything signficativamente innovator. :thumbsup:.
great work and great project :thumbsup:

a greeting :woot!:
I know you're mostly doing layout/graphics (which look great btw) - but do you have any interest in audio improvements?
I'm actually the one who made the music in Ti's Hack - except I never knew anyone used it! I downloaded this hack a while back only to be surprised my music was in it. I just wrote a de-make the Sonic 1 OST for fun in FamiTracker a few years ago, and Ti must have found my forum post (http://forums.famitracker.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1057).
That said, I've dabbled in NES hacking but not with audio. If someone knows how to modify it, I can improve/re-write the music and SFX. For example it'd probably make more sense to use the SMS special stage tune. The mixing and percussion could be improved in places. The signpost->stage clear transition is a bit off. Fortunately it seems the SFX don't cut off the music too much, since I put the backing instrumentation on channel 2.
Let me know your thoughts, I'd be happy to help.

Is there a specific reason one ring is never collected in the loops? Also changing the ring sound would be a really good idea, the original is too high pitched.
Sorry for the absence I was kind of busy working on a new title screen for the hack, I'm not currently able to apply it, but I'm already close to getting it :laugh:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/9fe6/f/2018/176/e/c/mockupx_by_terwilf-dcffoz1.gif)
Warning the final version may vary. My problem is that I have never done such a radical job, so I have to finish understanding how the original screen works, and of course verify if there is enough space to apply it.
I explain myself better, so the game works with 64 metasprits and a simple but effective compression.

From 00 to 7f are used to define the length with which a pattern formed by a single sprite will be created.
Example: "03e4" = "e4e4e4"
And from 80 to FF it is used to define the amount of sprites that will be added manually after the number.
Example: 83E4e3e5....

This is what is currently seen in my hack(http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) Amilgi (http://forums.famitracker.com/viewtopic.php?t=1057)
Thank you very much!, I really enjoyed your compositions, about improving the soundtrack of the game. I must confess that I am currently in the same situation as you, but I would certainly love to hear what someone with that talent is capable of doing. On the other hand, when the project is more advanced, I plan to investigate a bit how music works.

Currently I do not know the reason, but there is a user called "(http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) White Fox (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvvU8sFV-N0&feature=youtu.be)" who has managed to solve this problem (and many others), unfortunately we both work with incompatible versions, although he is a very kind person and has accepted to help me if I needed it, Anyway i do not like to take advantage of people, that's why I do not think it bothers him ;).

I think that at the moment we will not get what we want :-\
It would be great to manage the loading of the graphics in a more dynamic way, not only to allow the possibility of selecting different characters or even having a multiplayer, but also to have more varied and better graphics, personally I think that this aspect has not been optimized too much even thinking about it in the way it was conceived, but as I ignore almost everything related to the administration of memory, I rely only on speculation.
Think for a moment at any level, if you look closely you will see that there are objects that never share the same location on the map or enemies that cross it only intermittently. In spite of that, except for some exceptions, each level uses practically half of a tile for the enemies, another half for Sonic and a complete one for the tileset of the zone.
In addition, in general the configuration of how some objects are shown are assembled piece by piece unnecessarily and others that would require this system to do it through a predetermined pattern, wasting a very valuable space that could be reused with new enemies for example.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/78c2/f/2018/178/a/0/ejemplo_by_terwilf-dcfmzwi.png)
Example of a more efficient possible use.
As a last reflection, I say, Can someone lend me your girlfriend please?
I honestly have a question. Could you insert a Sega Logo and a "Sonic Team Presents" screen to the project or would that destroy the system if you play it on real hardware?
Also this has to be one of the prettiest improvements out there as it feels 16-Bit at times.
Honestly without the help of someone more experienced I do not think I can do it, even so I am investing part of my time reading and investigating some interesting things, on the other hand my goals always seem unattainable, so I would not know what to say in reality, I am one of those people who prefer to give their nose against the glass rather than avoid the effort :thumbsup:.
I think it's better to wait for the release of full gold / hack :beer:
a doubt
you can correct the sonic position by starting the level that appears "floating" wrongly placed without touching the ground
the correct position is the left corner of the level appears on the floor of the correct level
regards :woot!:
Regards! I'll tell you that I'm going to follow your advice, so I deleted the previous question :thumbsup:
On the other hand, if you look at the point of appearance of Sonic, is always the exact center of the screen, I suspect that this way is that the game configures the camera, so I have not bothered to go into that aspect, since previously, when modifying some values in ram memory, I concluded that it is not a good idea to modify the default state of the camera :P
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/c389/f/2018/185/7/f/inicio_2_by_terwilf-dcg9v2s.gif)
You could change the level design to keep Sonic from falling if it's possible
Each level I have worked on has been widely tested to avoid or minimize the actions that could break the game, however, if it refers to an edition that alters the dynamics of the levels, it seems to me a very boring task, for another part I must add that with the contributions of (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) lancuster (http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=182212), the data I have collected and the ROM in which I work, I believe that anyone could carry out this task :thumbsup:

Adapted version of your codec for my hack.
I like how this looks so far! It looks like quite a lot of effort was put into making Hummer Team's concept more enjoyable. I even made some custom Sonic sprites in the style of this hack.
EDIT: Image broke.
Also, I have a couple of questions.
1) I see that the chunk of Spring Yard map on your CAD Editor screenshot looks a little different than what is in the version I have. I say that because I never see "CPU" in Spring Yard. Are you making the maps more faithful to the Genesis game?
2) Will slopes work properly in the new version? Whenever I run up a slope (but not a loop's slope) I mostly get stuck running halfway up one, even when going fast (which is noticeable in Spring Yard).
● Thank you very much, I was very excited when I saw your sprites ^_^
● About the project I essentially work to create a version with which other hackers can work comfortably, optimizing and arranging everything that is within my reach, I also try to be consistent with the Megadrive game, but fundamentally I intend to disguise the limitations of the NES :D
● Until this moment I had not thought about the behavior of the curved ramp as a problem, I had become accustomed to :P , I'm going to make myself a list to remember that kind of thing :thumbsup:
Curiosities:
● Initially I was thinking of adapting Megadrive's Sonic to the game, although I discarded that idea quickly.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/c6d2/f/2018/178/b/9/somax_by_terwilf-dcfmo8d.png)
● The objects that characterize each Zone are formed in the following way "Obj + Behavior + assigned palette", so modifying them is almost like playing with Legos.
● For this project, I not only played this game hundreds of times, but I went through countless "O" from Google between articles that talk about the game and videos from Gameplays. I saw horrible things with Sonic that will never be erased from my mind :huh:
I honestly quite like those genesis styled sprites, they look pretty good.
I honestly hope you also make the controls at least playable. That's pretty much the single biggest issue with the game, but I can understand if you can't do that, though.
But regardless though, this is looking to be quite a good hack, for what it is! I'm quite looking forward to the release.
are improvements possible for the Sonic sprite ? more animations for example :thumbsup:
possible future alternatives for other hacks :D
Model type Original MegaDrive
Model type Cartoon Sonic "Jabu Model improved"
totally new sprite model Sonic
at the end Amilgi collaborates in the improvement of music and sound fx ?
Greetings Sics :woot!:
Hello everyone, I was not working on the project at the moment, the last thing I did was purely theoretical, but on the other hand I discovered that some of the sprites that PacManfan64 overlooked some important restrictions, even so and without a doubt I still think it is an invaluable contribution :thumbsup:.
CowboyJoseph64
Thank you very much, really do not have much merit, also these sprites never reached the stage where I adapt them to respect the restrictions of the NES, since I realized that the work that I carry out Jabu has many more merits than those they can be seen at a glance.
I am just an enthusiastic rookie, but I think that at this point the corrections in the levels that I made compensate a little the bad control of Sonic.
cartridge_rom
I think that just redistributing the mosaics that were currently not used could contribute to a substantial improvement of the game, but even though I try to find where this data is stored, it has been so long since my last search that I have forgotten how to find the addresses with the FCEUX's debugger :P, anyway, the same thing always happens to me, I do not know why I do not write those things ::).
Personally I see better eyes adapt the sprites of some of the henchmen of Sonic, but the truth is that in the future I hope to continue adapting the title screens of some of the games that Wave has translated.
I do not like to pressure people, so I have not had more contact with (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) Amilgi (http://forums.famitracker.com/viewtopic.php?t=1057) than the answer in this post, on the other hand I think it's a big step that has been made known, in this way the next one that touches this hack will know with certainty that that great OST was his work :laugh:.
By the way by private message I was asked by the clouds that are seen in the explanatory capture that I uploaded previously, these belonged to the original concept of the title screen:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcj4r1o-ebd48164-d878-4712-ad8a-f5fe2bcf3f2d.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGNqNHIxby1lYmQ0ODE2NC1kODc4LTQ3MTItYWQ4YS1mNWZlMmJjZjNmMmQuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.gZpMMyDa1Yd8sLahqzN3thtNFljy3jiopU3airg0z4U)
The problem was that when storing the first and second frames of the Sonic animation on the same page there was no space to include the clouds, and because of the type of information compression that the screen implemented, it ran the risk of exceeding the space available for write it
Equal my main objective is to deal with the MetaTiles and keep trying to decipher how it works that the allocation of palettes on the title screen, but my soul as a child is not resigned yet :D.
Im really waiting for this, seems a lot of work has been made
What a hack lesson!
Great job updating Sonic for Nes! Like a pro!
Wonderful intro!
Waiting to play...

Thank you very much Nelson, I hope to live up to that expectation, about intro remember that for the moment I focus on the version that I can perform :thumbsup:
Whoaaa! You`ve found my little hex secret, lol :laugh:
If you can put that intro on finished game will be perfect.
Don`t know if you already used Tile Molester. I`m in trouble with palettes, it`s in the last updated post here http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=25071.0 (http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=25071.0)
But if you don`t know how, thank you anyway...

In my case, YY-CHR is more practical and accessible to me. I really do not have experience in those systems, but maybe this can help you in your search ;)

(late reply)
Thank you for the critique about the sprites. If I may ask, what did you mean by "important restrictions"? Was it pallete or size limitations? I tried keeping sprites small to fit the scale of most of Sonic's sprites, and I used only the colors used by the NES.
Also, I found some things and have more questions:
Can the Checkpoint and Speedup monitors be implemented? They're unused even in the original bootleg, and their code is still there, but they only spawn with cheat codes and don't seem to do anything. Can they be properly spawned like enemies and other objects in the maps through your method, and be modified to work?
There are tracks for Scrap Brain (2E), a 1UP (2C), the Credits (33), and a Chaos Emerald (2D) in the sound test, all are never used. While I can say that 2E and 2D are reasonable, since Scrap Brain is still not properly accessible and Special Stages don't give chaos emeralds, but why not have the 1UP jingle play when they're earned?
(I like watermelon)
Actually depends on the case, the main obstacle is the space available in each tab, but as you mentioned there are also minor flaws in some palettes and maybe being extremist the designs would gain a lot by integrating certain details present in the rest of the sprites. , for example the relief on Sonic's eye, but that is unnecessary, since in general these details are barely noticeable.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcppqjs-a16cbd57-ddae-4148-99a2-3b89b87d81d1.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGNwcHFqcy1hMTZjYmQ1Ny1kZGFlLTQxNDgtOTlhMi0zYjg5Yjg3ZDgxZDEucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.ZKJq4rKdlHnki3XYugJSq36j9aw-eVU0VHrzEeYvDag)
Example
On the other hand his designs were very successful and although less words are used to say it, as I said before its value is inestimable, and they are very useful as a reference, not to mention that the problem of the space limit is only a technical barrier that the insurance will be resolved over time; D
1. & 2. All the things that you mention and some more I have found them, but I could not do much with that ... Theorizing I can say that the place where Scrap Brain should be has been reused, besides I have only found 11 potential blocks to draw zones (of 16x16) in this level, for the Esmeralda del Caos planned to create an emerald-like ring and continue to investigate, also thought to include some additional tabs with graphics to facilitate any future project, but being honest the project now It is stuck because of work issues, since I have not managed to have time and energy together.
a possible future hack 2 characters to choose to play :D

From the first time I saw that image I was wondering if with enough effort it would be possible to see these sprites running in the game for real, in the past I had seen a small project that tried to incorporate tails in the Somari, but I did not return to receive news of it.
On the other hand I recommend visiting the gallery of (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)PixelMarioXP (https://www.deviantart.com/pixelmarioxp/gallery/), currently working on a Romhack titled "Sonic 3: Triple Trouble" and it really looks very promising :thumbsup:
Hello for those who read this for the first time this project tries to improve the aesthetic section, and optimize as much as possible everything that is within my reach.
General changes: ● Crashes and unexpected events were reduced.
● Almost all the animations were retouched.
● The tileset were optimized and new elements were incorporated.
● Continuity is repaired in certain areas *
● Work on a new title screen.
What should not you expect from this project? Any modification that requires advanced knowledge of assembler 6502.
The news of the project: Currently I have less time to devote to the project, this has been reflected in less status updates and a slower development, but despite all the project is still standing, which is the most important.
♦ I remembered how I used the debugger.
♦ I managed to repair the graphic glitches of the first Zone and improve its decoration.
♦ Correct another fatal error (This case occurred when penetrating inside any capsule)
♦ I included a coin disguised as an emerald in the bonus (What a trick xD)
♦ Update the design of the emerald by turning **
♦ Change the HUD source again among other graphics ...
♦ I found the sector that stores the configuration of Sonic animations and palettes.
What I do not achieve D': ■ I have no idea how to repair the Spring Yard Zone ramps, I suspect that the problem has to do with the collision area of the block that can be seen in the model, it seems that it was placed incorrectly, also a second problem that I find is that the inertia generated by the spring is sometimes insufficient to overcome some ramps (These values are always fixed), in addition when the player presses forward this inertia is lost completely.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/12af/f/2018/318/6/1/rampa_spring_yard_by_terwilf-dcs0o5k.png)
■ I do not finish understanding how the repositioning of objects works, some I can move them where I want and others disappear in certain sectors of the level, on the other hand I take this opportunity to clarify that this work I reserve for the second stage of the project, since although I plan to fix the position of the most significant enemies, with the rest I want to take the time to move them well without further delaying the publication date of the hack.***
Spoiler
* Some landscapes shorten abruptly or there are sectors that lead nowhere.
** Originally I planned to give it a style closer to that of megadrive, but I have many doubts about this, because in my opinion this level ruins the rest of the game, since there you can get too many lives, things that should not be like that.
*** Two things that must be taken into account I still do not know how much this problem can affect my objective, I also consider that the greatest defect of the enemies is their terrible programming although thinking it from the point of view of the Eggman are perfect.
Errata: This article should be published when I prepare some catches, but my cat does not think the same xD. Damn that cat made me unveil... (https://orig00.deviantart.net/e4a0/f/2018/281/e/4/bongo_cat_test_by_paumol-dcoz0th.gif)
Looking Cool so far! Keep up the good work! ;)
YoungBoy
Thanks that I have not combed :laugh:
Small update:
♦ HUD correction to match official games.
♦ Now the loops have relief.
♦ More animations updated.
♦ I started to correct the palettes that are used in Sonic animations!
♦ The graphics of the Final Zone were renewed.

Nothing special really...
■ Maybe I should keep working on the sprite of looking up.
The HUD update (and almost everything else) reminds me a lot of Sonic Pocket Adventure's. (really like that game)
More questions (sorry if these bother you):
How were the animations updated? Was it frame/sprite order that was modified, or just CHR touchups?
Also, have any other aspects been updated, like the ending or music?
Is the spindash still CD-like (with one charge needed to go at full speed), or has that been modified too?
It simply don`t look anymore as a hack for the Nes.... But a "solid" Sonic game!
Great
Peixemacaco
Thank you! It makes me very happy that you think that :laugh:, that's really the goal I'm after, I'd like to give the game the finish it deserved, of course within my limitations ::)
PacManfan64
In fact it is one of my main references, on the other hand if you have not done it yet I recommend you try the hack Sonic Pocket Winter is really great :thumbsup:
The questions keep this project alive, so if you want to know what dinner will be at night, that question is also welcome :D
This time it's not just a graphic edition, now I'm very close to knowing everything I need about the animations in the game and it's thanks to you :beer:
They are divided into 5 blocks: 3a51a Function will execute according to the action performed by the player.
??????? Table for animations.*
3803e Orientation of each sprite.
384d5 Pallet distribution configuration.
38955 Sprites Sonic.
Spoiler
* This discovery is very recent so I have not checked it properly, but I found a block that seems to be full of pointers on top of the other data.
On the other hand, the storage of frames works with the following scheme:

As you know this project is aimed at casual players and people interested in hacking, so with the next graphic update of the final area had thought to take to include new elements:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/ff00/f/2018/330/c/0/s1___final_tileset_by_terwilf-dcsxpww.png)
But I still have not decided whether to replace the pipes of the consoles by more simplified versions to include other elements that I have the feeling that were missing.
About the music without anyone to create new sound sequences it does not make sense for me to investigate about it, also I think there are more qualified hackers in that section than me.
On the physics of Sonic if I'm not wrong are around 3acxx, but my knowledge is zero, so I can not do anything useful with this information.
Can NES really display so much colors at once?
Amazing job, I watched a gameplay from a previous version and it's really good.
Do you think there's a way to make Sonic controls feels more like Genesis/Mega Drive? The way it plays now it seems it could have a little more "gravity" to it, what are you thoughts?
Again, can the real console display such a colorful game like this?
The objects were redesigned to lie better :laugh: and the trick in the Sonic sprites is that they do not follow a standard alignment but are adapted to make it possible to assign the palettes more precisely:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/5f1c/f/2018/331/9/d/muestra_001_sonic_corriendo_by_terwilf-dct0dz7.gif)
The above is an old version of the sprite that applies, but here is where you better understand what I say. The only problem is that the repositioning task ends up being too artisanal in my case:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/0b4c/f/2018/331/2/1/caminar_45_abajo_by_terwilf-dct0eh1.gif)
Scheme to collect data for position offsets
Honestly I do not know how to answer this last question, on the one hand I think that hacker like Ti have achieved almost the unthinkable with his projects, besides others like White Fox have brought improvements that are missed in the versions that circulate today, but in my position as a rookie, I do not think it's wise to talk about how great the flying bikes will be :D
Personally I think the game would win a lot repairing the enemies, recently observing them I discovered that they are activated by proximity of the X axis, so adjusting that value (If it exists) the game experience would change completely, it is also necessary to increase the inertia produced the springs that drive towards the side, for my part I am open to any kind of collaboration.
Oh by the way yesterday I dined salad :thumbsup:
I think the work and progress is great :beer:
I seem to see the MegaDrive game :o
I found a FCEUX cheat from TCRF's Somari page (https://tcrf.net/Somari#Unused_Graphics) that views Sonic's animation states: 001D:XX

I hope this helps you with editing animations.
That Final Zone tileset seems to have diagonal floors, ceilings, a conveyor belt, and rings. Possible return of Scrap Brain maybe?
Also, have you thought of doing improvements on Super Mario World (or at least expanding on either SuperLooneyDude or The Jabu's patches?)
cartridge_rom
Great!!, I would love to achieve a trick of those that border the quality of an official product :beer:
I know an oculist who is very good :D
PacManfan64
The trick is very useful, because unlike the method used previously, this trick is still running the same animation, on the other hand I already have a list of references to the ones I'm used to, although I must admit that the names on your list are more descriptive, it will surely be useful to create documentation in the future, thank you :thumbsup:
Not for the moment, although I would have liked to have been the one who incorporated "Scrap Brain" into the game, I had researched a lot in order to obtain the necessary knowledge for the task, but unfortunately the reality in which I live has changed a lot since who started this project ;)
On the other hand, I decided that it would be best to take into account the missing elements in the tab of this area when optimizing it, in this way the next hacker will have a solid base to start working.
Currently I have all tentative tileset of all levels, but before applying the missing ones I must finalize certain details, as is the case of Star Light with its background elements, for example.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dctmkwr-f7a489cf-5914-43de-9e05-a5e1f3f9b928.png)
Being completely honest I do not like that game, besides I am more of the green Mario :laugh:, about future work before embarking on any new project I must find the balance between my work life, study and my hobbies to avoid routines as overwhelming as current :P, during that process I am considering uploading some of the work I do for my personal collection, but that is just an idea at the moment.
Greetings and thanks to those who follow this project :beer:
This is looking absolutely fantastic so far, I couldn't believe that someone could improve on The Jabu's work as much as is shown here. This is true talent and passion combined.
I really hope that after this is finished someone else will take up the reigns and try and improve the game in other ways, pushing it as far as it will go.
Also, if anyone has contact with Hummer Cheng himself, I'd love to see how he feels about this.
I've been meaning to ask @sics, what kind of ROM base are you using for this hack?
Gastronomicon
He praises me a lot, but being honest it was thanks to the work of FuriousTH that I decided to try it, he was the first to show what a "plus" of love could do for this game, I must also say that I have taken as reference the work of many artists what I respect But thanks for the flowers! :beer:
It would be great to know what talented people could achieve, I would like to see all kinds of projects arising from this work arise! ;D
The work done by the Hummer team is admirable, although it is notable that at that time they lacked a lot of experience, there are a lot of graphic optimizations and really creative solutions that show that they really tried to do a decent job, I personally think that they have more to be proud of than many licensed developers of that time :laugh:.
John Enigma
I would like to create a rom only with the changes that I made, but I am aware that many had difficulties with this system in the past, on the other hand I know that the rom on which this project is based is available on the internet, but I am afraid that in a future ceases to be as accessible as it is today, for the moment I think it would be best to use the original rom as a base :P.
It would be great if someone created a new way of patching to solve this problem, to use several source files or even several versions of a hack at the same time, include metadata, group those changes, title them and add some reference images are things with which I'm sure many of us dream.
On the other hand I'm already applying the fourth tileset, but in this case I suffered a mishap with a graphic error that produced a certain block in Labyrinth*, but fortunately this was resolved by relocating a certain sector of the sprite that makes it up, that's why there was a lot of space free, instead of moving it I decided to duplicate it and thus avoid having to modify the other blocks that share that graph.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dctwqbk-edbc340e-3e2c-4d5b-a99b-f725c9505d91.png)
I also evaluated moving all the graphics, to find another way to order them without this error occurring, but the truth was that I was not satisfied with the result of this process.
Spoiler
* Or as I usually call it the level that we all hate and lasts half of the game xD
That in-game screenshot looks like something you'd see if Sunsoft made a Sonic port (as they were still around during the 90s)! Also the tile arrangement looks good too.
Speaking of, since Chaos Emeralds are now implemented, are there multiple endings depending on how many you have? And were other elements implemented, like the scene before it with Sonic releasing the emeralds?
Also was the "Sonic Team Presents" text put back too? I found the unused graphics of the "Somari Team Presents" version, so I'd imagine it's possible.
Also also, there's a bug in Labyrinth with floating platforms. Basically what happens is that when on the platform, Sonic can go through any wall above him while the floating platform continues to rise him up. Sometimes, doing this crashes the game. I think I know why this happens. Usually, in the original Sonic 1, doing this makes Sonic die from being crushed due to wall/ceiling collision. There doesn't seem to be any ceiling collision here; if you walk in any direction, you can't zip like in the original and go to the far opposite direction of what direction you press, you just "fall" through the ceiling. Fall as in "Sonic continuously going upwards while the background/camera freaks out until you reach the actual level map." Is there a way to fix this?
Lookin' smooth, can't wait to play it when it's done. :cookie:

First I wanted to thank you for reporting the bug, although in fact I already had knowledge of it, now I have to complete several pending before seeing how I can solve the problems of that area, it is that over time I realized that the best way to avoid problems with this type of project is structured as best as possible, and although sometimes I think it would be practical to publish that list of pending/bugs, I fear that some do not understand that beyond my expectations everything I do depends on the time I have and the capacity that I am developing :thumbsup:
The truth is that it is not a coin with an emerald skin, although I planned to improve its animation, but in view of the high expectations I think that saying this is a bit disappointing :-\
My goal for the moment is to improve the animations that are part of the game, because as I said in the past if possible I would like to release as soon as possible a first version of the project or at least a sufficiently attractive version to be delivered in the form of a demo. Although in the final version I would like to use the animation of Sonic releasing the emeralds instead of the sequence in which it looks up :beer:
I do not think I can return the text "Sonic Team", without the help of someone more experienced, but if this goal were fulfilled I would like to replace it with the SEGA logo :D

Besides it would be great to repair the demos of the levels that in the TI version they left to work properly, although it seems to be all the elements necessary for them to work :'(
Finally, in the capture of my previous publication, the graphics were remapped, some were updated with respect to previous versions, and replaced the palette used by the harpoons to avoid the areas where they camouflage with the background, but the disposition of the elements in that Capture in specific is the same ::)

I actually prefer the final version, it just looks sharper. I don't mind that much though
Alternative telegraphs better, though Final looks sharper but doesn't quite seem to match in terms of style and also the frontward lighting rather than being lit from the side like the bounce pad.
Alternative is the way to go for this project in my opinion.

I have to agree the alternative looks better. Though perhaps there is a better middle ground to be found.

You're welcome, you're really knocking this outta the park! I always thought the cookie emoji meant a treat. :D
Can't wait to see more when you're ready to show more screens. :)
Cartridge_Rom, Gastronomicon, Torridgristle & Sharp?
Originally my intention was not to get too far away from the source material creating graphics that adapt well to the technology of the old tube monitors (CRT), but being realistic, it is more sensible to think that the audience that will play this hack will do so by means of more accessible devices, so I do not see badly adding graphics that indifferently from the medium can be interpreted correctly 8)
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcv00x7-0efea579-dd3f-409b-a6ba-6934153633b3.png)
On the other hand I must admit that when working alone it is easy to get stuck in a tunnel journey where I end up ignoring the possibilities that I did not think in the first place, that's why I appreciate the diverse opinions that are giving color to this project. So if someone has remained without saying something, I invite you to do it, because no matter how stupid you may think it may be, any idea always drifts into new ones :thumbsup:

I do not understand how I did not think before, in retrospect it sounds very obvious, it's like when I finished understanding how the elevators work, my life will no longer be the same :laugh:
If you are interested in knowing more about this hack, I have given a copy of the game to a Youtuber, this demo has all the features that were already complete in the project. I do not pass the name of the channel just because I was not clear if it was their main or secondary channel, but I fell very nice :beer:
Small update: ▪ The shield and the stars of the invincibility state are now white.
▪ The harpoons are corrected to show the light source correctly.
▪ I did the first tests with the title screen.*
▪ The end of the level screen was updated.
Spoiler
*Although everything went as expected at first, neglect two sectors where it is not possible to properly apply a specific palette, probably postpone working on that problem until the end of the first stage of the project, for now I prefer to focus on the playable characteristics of the hack.

Clarifying that this decision is taken because hacking the title screen in this way is the biggest work load I have had, even though it is uncertain if I will manage all the necessary factors to reach the final version.
Is there any chance that after completing this one, you'll attempt your magic on The Jabu's version of Super Mario World for the NES? You've done an amazing job on this and maybe you could use your practice from this to make SMW just as good, and possibly better! I understand you probably don't have the same emotional attachment to it as with Somari, but you could try it at least ;)
(http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) LooneyDude (https://youtu.be/gkxwKOVtIqc) is already working on it and in my opinion he's doing great, I think the most respectful thing is to wait for his project to finish, this kind of thing is not an easy task, and the people who do it do not get anything in return, that the best thing we can do is to take care of these people who dedicate love and time to their work so as not to lose them ;)
Well, not really. LooneyDude's hack is entirely separate to The Jabu's one, and while I prefer LooneyDude's one, it's actually only a demo. They finished the first world about a year ago (I think) and they made it explicitly clear that that was all they'd do. It's a shame really. :-\
This is why I thought you could do what you're doing here, adding an addendum to either the Jabu's or LooneyDude's versions, fixing unfair enemies and optimising the tiles, etc. They would both require an equal amount of effort, J's one already has all worlds finished, but L's one has extra features and stuff.
I don't know. After all you've done here, you probably need a well-deserved break rather than instantly diving into another project! :beer:
They already sent me to sleep :laugh:
Yes, I understand that they are two independent projects, but they have the same objective, for example it was back in 2009 when I started working to try to improve the Sonic of NES, but before I had everything ready, Jabu's project was published, the same thing happened to me with the game of Super Turrican for the NES, although in that case I just decided to give up.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcv4q10-a147c75e-21c7-4387-8099-d4534a1ee2f5.png)
This was the reason why the first version of this project had such poor quality, and although today I am stronger, I know that the motivations of artists can be very fragile :P
On the other hand they really canceled the project? (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif) It breaks my soul, I was waiting for it with much desire (http://www.romhacking.net/smf/Smileys/newyabb/cry.gif)
Personally more than a break I would like the opposite, I would love to dedicate myself to this and make my own games, but with a team, God it is horrible to work alone, the conversations become boring :D

I was working recently to try to improve the final level screens, and although I confess that I would like to try using a different source, unfortunately the screen shares the graphics with the level selection screen.

(Where it says "Timer" should say "Time Bonus" but there was no space to write it, I've seen that in other versions of Sonic the word "Cool" is also used, but I do not think it's Cool (https://orig00.deviantart.net/972b/f/2019/087/3/e/nono_by_terwilf-dd38dxp.gif) (http://www.romhacking.net/smf/Smileys/newyabb/laugh.gif) )
Could say BONUS instead of TIMER or add a clock icon to the font if you're replacing the word CONTINUE which gives you some extra space.

For consistency sake I'd recommend also changing Ring Bonus to a ring icon if you're going for the icon alternative.

I tried that and nudging the N and I think the N edit looks more even. The N doesn't look that odd in the continue screen either, though there's room for additional letters in the CHR if it needs to be edited for better kerning.

Sorry, I could not resist, was very funny what you said xD
Speaking more seriously, the goal I pursue in this project is to achieve the most professional finish possible, so being sincere does not convince me the ideas proposed to solve the problem of the legend Timer.
The first option because the use of the word bonus only seems somewhat imprecise, it could also be redundant.
On the other hand, although the second option has more possibilities, I feel that even if I managed to make the appropriate modifications, I would leave too much negative space on the screen.

Initial mockup
Changing the subject I think that the observation of the letter "I" is very successful, I also feel that people would demand it a lot if I do not, that's why I fixed it and I love the result :thumbsup:
Torridgristle & Gastronomicon
Regarding the headlines, it is a somewhat complicated issue for me, personally I do not think it would be enough with a superficial edition, since for a long time I see more than one inconvenience in them, and although it is probably just a whim, I would like to achieve an optimization similar or better to the current one if it opted to work on its design.
For those who do not know what I speak, I mean in this to the fact that the disposition of the letters is designed to be able to reuse graphics from one letter to another.
Something similar happened to me when I decided how the Labyrinth tiles would be made, at that time I could not decide whether to force the insertion of the alternative graphics for the large blocks or reserve that space for future improvements.

I'm still intrigued as I should pronounce your nickname, should I think of you as "Sharp" or "Hashtag"? (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif)(This question is not a joke) Anyway thanks for participating :beer:
In case you ever want to edit the font, I found the titles at 030A0A with a width of 16 and the continue screen at 7EDF7 with a width of 12, though the word actually starts at 07EE07 and the last 2 bytes on each line might be important. Replacing the font and re-entering the letters with a new CHR is pretty simple with YY's PRG Editor (http://www.geocities.jp/yy_6502/). It takes the BMPs of CHRs that YY-CHR outputs.
(https://i.imgur.com/P1042BR.png)
I don't really like it with the 8x16 font I posted, but it's functional with a full alphabet at the very least.
I am not familiar with PRG Editor, currently for this kind of work I use:

Capture of the old version of the project.
About editing, I originally wanted to use the source of the Megadrive version, but I came across a flaw that forced me to limit myself to making 16x15 designs, which is really a sadness.

Failure occurs because of what I gather is a bad implementation of a graphic trick, since by intentionally crashing the screen you can see how the mask layer exceeds its space by taking a sector of the second line of text.

001003 Y axis of the real text (Of the values with which I substituted this sector, $FF made it look correctly)
Small update, I managed to unlink the graphics from the "end level" screen of the level selector, now I can start to try more accurate graphics for this sector :laugh:

*I always wanted to say that :D
Looking pretty good, keep it up! I also have a soft spot for this game as it was my first Sonic game too, so I approve of any attempts at fixing and improving it.
Oh, a continue screen now?! This is getting better by the minute! I honestly can't wait for it to be finished.
If you will pardon the nitpick...
Am I the only one who feels that the clouds' bizarre animation in Marble Zone and Spring Yard Zone looks rather distracting and out of place? I honestly think these stages would look better if they were disabled.
I know it wasn't you that added that animation, as it comes from Jabu's version, but you do have any idea what's the idea behind it? I've never seen clouds move like that in Sonic 1, or any game for that sake...

Yes, I can not believe that this project has gone so far, it even starts to look like a real game :laugh:, by the way I like your new avatar :thumbsup:
Redd
Congratulations you are the comment number 100!!!, well and also the 98 but that does not count :D
Thank you, comments like those are very comforting! I hope to give you a good reason to relive the past :beer:
Do not worry, this space is for review, it is also a change that does not cost to carry out, before releasing the final version I will try to remember to make an alternative version with these characteristics, if this does not happen like this, they warn me of the carelessness and I'll solve it ;)
On the other hand, I do not only understand the creative decision of Jabu, but I have adopted it in my designs, the reason is simple, the universe of Sonic is presented as a dynamic world where everything is energetic, the sky moves, the plants move even inert objects have some feature that prevents them from looking static.

Looks very good, if the control works good (atleast more playable)
can be a really good improvement.

The controls will continue to the level that Jabu left, but it will be compensated by fixing some unfair decisions that did not allow to pass certain levels at full speed :beer:
Spooniest
While it is true that Redd's criticism is incorrectly substantiated, I think that his point is valid as well. Not every change is effective, you must always find the right balance to avoid breaking the atmosphere of the rest of the game :thumbsup:
For example, I can not imagine Barney in a Gothic setting with a sword, although personally I would enjoy that game very much :laugh:
Great to see so much progress has been made on this, I've been keeping an eye on this for a while...
Regarding the clouds, is there a different type of weather effect - rain, wind, etc - that might achieve the desired dynamic/animated look while being a little more subtle? (To continue the Megaman theme, Toad Man's stage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9eXaAvP5dQ) uses what looks like a fairly simple rain animation in the background (Around ~2:40), but I'm no expert on how this would be done?)
Incidentally, the subject line changed at some point to 'Sonic 5 - Improvement Vol.2', is that the planned name for the hack?

Sorry, I could not resist, was very funny what you said xD
Apologies for derailing this thread for a bit, but that GIF is clearly an edit of this one:
(https://66.media.tumblr.com/9cfaf1a1e54db1758ef3a2442381d0b5/tumblr_nczkyqypbN1qh59n0o1_500.gif)
It's quite strange, as the original GIF is fine as is. Anyway, I wish that the Special Stages use
this music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4r13zuVgM) instead of the one used in the current music improvement, since they're supposed to be based on the Master System/Game Gear bonus stages. I mean, the original Somari used the appropriate theme, but they converted it in a way that doesn't do the original song justice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4WoOa-62Yo).
Retroverse
Thank you very much for following this project, and sorry for delaying me answer, is that I was thinking a lot about what you said, since I thought it was an interesting idea.
Despite that, I came to the conclusion that if I implemented something like that, I would risk moving away from the original concept of the game.
Let me explain, one of the main reasons for which Sonic was conceived was to try to demystify the deficiencies that they attributed to the Megadrive, that's why the Sega of that time decided to leave its comfort zone to deliver more colorful and varied environments.
That's why as a designer I think that although you can play with the idea of a storm that happened or will happen, what this game has to fundamentally convey is the idea of life and movement, I apologize in advance since I know that this idea may sound silly :-\
About the title, it is only a tentative name, it is based on the style of titles used in Hummer for its ports. I would like to make sure that the title as a search criteria helps to find content related to this hack, so any suggestion is welcome :beer:

The truth is that I had no idea, just download a pack of memes, on the other hand I respect the work of the person who created this gif, but I try to use light images so that this publication can be read in the same way in places where devices still They are not so powerful and the connections are still slow, for that reason I decided to make my own version of the image and end the discord.

Regarding your request, although (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) Amilgi (http://forums.famitracker.com/viewtopic.php?t=1057) was interested in creating the bases to do this type of editing, I have not heard from him again, although being honest I think that this type of editing would be much better left to those who really know about hackrom, as for example the same Ti that has already worked with the game's sound engine.
I also add that if someone is interested in working on this feature or any other you want, you can contact me privately to have a copy of this project :thumbsup:
Have You Thought On Adding The SEGA Logo To The New Title Screen? Will Tails Be Playable In This NES Improvement? How's The Progress On Sonic's NES Improvement Coming Along? Will Anyone Be Able To Do Music, Graphics, and Control Physic Improvements For Some Other Games Like Street Fighter 2, Super Mario World, Kart Fighter, and More? :huh:
Hi! I saw the discussion about music you were having. I know how to use Famitracker, and I had wanted to insert several of my own compositions into the Super Mario World Famicom pirate. I know the version of the sound engine is the same as the one used in Somari, so could you give me a few pointers for how to proceed with inserting new music?
The clouds to me look like a Volcanic Eruption or something burning back there to cause the sky to be in smoke clouds.
But I still think this looks very awesome. I can't wait to try my hand at this game. :thumbsup:
One more thing: will you modify the game to allow Sonic to 1) spindash/roll into Badniks without popping upward a little bit every time he destroys one, and 2) spindash through item monitors to break them?
And do you guys have any plans on implementing checkpoint monitors/speed shoes? Also, I know you've considered implementing Scrap Brain Zone, and my question is, if the idea does go through, will the layouts be original or will they attempt to replicate the Genesis version? Replicating the Genesis version would take a ton more work, and a lot of new graphics.
I think I've found a way for the ramps in Spring Yard Zone to work. By Star Light Zone, Hummer Team had obviously got their game together and had made a zone of much higher quality than previous ones, adding impressive features such as running up vertical walls and the like. One of the new improvements was that the ramps actually worked. By the look of it, the ramps were made from similar resources as the normal slopes, just increasing in steepness as they go on. This suggests to me that you could essentially create your own ramps by using a succession of slopes increasing in steepness, replacing the broken curved ones with your own more jagged but more functional ones.
I hope you understand what I mean. I would give you an image but I'm unable to at the moment.
Will Tails (Sonic's Friend and Sidekick From Sonic 2) Become a Playable Character? I Really Would Love To See Tails as a Playable Character In This NEW NES Improvement! Will The Enemies Shot Timing Be At Least 5 Seconds Or Something (Like In The Original Sonic The Hedgehog on Sega Genesis!?), Will The Entire Game Have Less Enemies (Like... Buzz Bombers, Moto Bugs, Crabmeat, Bomb From Star Light Zone, and Furthermore...), Less Spike Balls In Spring Yard Zone, and a Much Better Level Design? Will The 1up, Choas Emerald Obtain, and The Continue Sound Effect Be Played In The Game Including Both, The Ending And The End Credits? :o :huh: :-\ :) ;)

About the progress of the project, I am precisely working to solve the problems that prevented the first version of the title screen from being displayed correctly. I also want to take the opportunity to try to integrate the design provided by (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) SuperStarFox (https://www.deviantart.com/supastarfox) of the Sega logo in this new version of this screen.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/d9d15482-3751-4b54-b440-93e9202b1c0d/dcx0czb-91492b19-06a3-404b-90bc-1c94015d65df.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2Q5ZDE1NDgyLTM3NTEtNGI1NC1iNDQwLTkzZTkyMDJiMWMwZFwvZGN4MGN6Yi05MTQ5MmIxOS0wNmEzLTQwNGItOTBiYy0xYzk0MDE1ZDY1ZGYucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.g2-FemXmdbAyYg_yUKlOcEyxQB0s6K3mhI_kWsc4uXI)
Sonic The Hedgehog (SupaStarFox - Mockup Genesis Style) In addition, I am working to optimize again the tileset that I will use in "Star Light Zone", since I came to the conclusion that I made a disproportionate use of graphics in certain objects that I had included.
About the possibility of integrating Tails as an objective of this project, although I must confess that I never discarded the idea, at the moment I still see it difficult, since I have a too long list of unfinished things and still to fulfill, perhaps with the inclusion of some extra hands helping me would consider it.
Spoiler
* Actually this is not an answer as such, since we had the opportunity to chat privately before I could read your post, but I suppose that someone who shared their concerns could be interested in this answer.

■
Shooting: The last thing I discovered is that enemies are activated by proximity, but I have not achieved more progress than that.
■
Enemies: My goal is only to redistribute what is necessary to eliminate as much as possible the unfair factor in the game, that means that I will keep all possible enemies except of course those who have no purpose or are in inaccessible places of the level.
■
Levels: I do not have plans to make massive changes in the structure of the snows, but if time allows I would like to fix some design problems, especially the roads that do not lead anywhere.
■
Sfx: It's not in my plans.

That ramp caused many problems that's why I simply decided to eliminate it.
FailSandwich
I have not worked with the music engine of the game, but I suspect that the version of Ti does not use the version that is part of the so-called "Somari engine".
Although I think that if you have a solid base of music a good idea would be to examine the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) BGVC (https://youtu.be/vvrMqRbb6c4) hack with a hexadecimal comparison program, in this way you can take note of the addresses where this hacker has made modifications, and then analyze these addresses with Fceux for example.
The steps would be: ● Start a game of the Original Somari and perform a SaveState. Open the hexadecimal editor integrated to the emulator and check the option in the menu with the legend ROM.
● Now you must go to the addresses you have written to start making changes in your data, so you can see in real time how the game reacts.
● According to what you decide you can replace the data by writing values randomly or re-entering the code of the version modified by BGVC, occasionally the game may end up crashing, that's where the SaveState that you have made before is fundamental,** in addition you can also find changes that only take effect when a level starts.
▬ Moving on to your next query, I do not currently know how to alter Sonic physics, and to avoid being redundant I can summarize that from the second point onwards practically all the answers are negative to a greater or lesser extent.***
In spite of that I am working to complete the graphics of the "Final Zone" tab, with the hope of leaving a solid basis for the next hacker who tries to make "Scrap Brain Zone" a reality.
About the designs I would like to think that they are a mixture of different styles, having as main base the official version of the game, but also rescuing some details of the work done by the artists that preceded me.
Spoiler
** Do not forget to undo the changes that corrupted the game in the hexadecimal editor.
*** You can find more complete information on the topics you have raised in the previous publications of this article, thank you very much for your inquiry.

Personally it is one of my favorite levels, I love that volcanic aesthetic about to erupt. Later I want to try to draw more defined clouds taking advantage of the extra space left in the tileset, but first I have to check if there is free space in the level to store new objects and if I have the talent to draw clouds.
Gastronomicon
It is strange, but I was convinced that I had talked about this in the past, although apparently I never did any publication about it, unfortunately I must clarify that this idea is unfeasible, since the blocks that make up these two ramps are absolutely different, if you look in editors like CadEditor when superimposing them you will see that their surface does not coincide in the least.
I Found a Ramp In Green Hill Act Act 3 and It Doesn't Work Either!
Will Be It Fixed Along With Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, Labyrinth Zone, and Star Light Zone? (I Still Know That Scrap Brain Zone Is Not Available In This Port) :-\

The Progress on Sonic For The NES So Far Is Doing Great... ;)
Hey sics, How's The Progress On Sonic's NES Improvement Coming Along? :huh:
SuperStarFox & Firedropdl
Thank you very much, I am currently working on several things at the same time I do not know if all this effort will be useful, but I do not lose anything by trying :thumbsup:
Among the changes I can reveal are:
● Update the EggMan graphics.*
● Update the graphics of the end-of-level capsules.
● Fix the end of level screen. (I finally made it!)
● Fix the screen at the end of the game.**
● I began to make the schemes to arrange the route of the levels.***
● Reorganize the graphics of the special stage and now the emerald is animated.
Spoiler
:woot!: Buu 2! I do not get tired of this!
* Both in the regular battles and in the final fight.
** The emeralds were centered, the animation modified and their palettes adapted to these changes.
*** I still have not decided if I'm really going to do it, but for the moment the idea is that yes.

Just a tiny suggestion - perhaps make Dr. Eggman/Robotnik's head a bit rounder and add a nose?
(http://oi65.tinypic.com/2uorp1h.jpg)
Also - all the animation above seems to be running just a tad to fast. Is it the same speed in-game?
Any chance of slowing it down?
/dACE
In some places they also say "Mostachone" :laugh:, about your suggestion, although I am not convinced with the EggMan design, I have not achieved better results than the current one.
Later I would like to expose some of the graphics that I drew, to see if I can get advice from other artists, I would really love someone to help me with things like clouds or water ::)
On the other hand a tip for the next edition the colors are separated by areas these can not be mixed :beer:

The images are only Mockup for optimization purposes, however I often often take the times of each frame of real captures, but a problem with the gifs is that they do not always run at the same speed on all computers :thumbsup:
How do the emeralds work? Is there an actual counter for how many you collect or are they simply decorative for the end of the special stage?
Also, if you need help with clouds and water, I could try and help :laugh:
Gastronomicon
They are like my curtains, they are there but they are useless :laugh:, as I said before, at the moment they are just a modified currency :D
No need to ask, any kind of help will be welcome :beer:
By the way, I draw this other version leaving aside the original scheme to take better advantage of the colors, what do you think of it?
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/8bf2/f/2019/042/6/a/z1_boss_v2_by_terwilf-dczg1ka.gif) (https://orig00.deviantart.net/92df/f/2019/042/e/e/z1_boss_v3_by_terwilf-dczgt5k.gif)
In my opinion, it isn't as good. It looks cylindrical rather than round like it should be. I also prefer the dithering over the reflective lines. It is still a nice looking idea, but isn't best in that situation. So yeah, I'd say stick with the original
amazing project update :beer:

Also... How's The Progress On Sonic For The NES?
1. Did You Manage To Finally Make Room For The "Time Bonus" Text? :huh:
2. How Did You Manage To Add Choas Emeralds To The Game, Did You Actually Managed To Make The Choas Emeralds Collectable Thus Having Two Endings Depending On Which Sonic Did Or Did Not Collect All Of The Emeralds? :huh:
3. I Still Think That This Game Would Still Make a Whole Lot Of Sense If This Game Instead Used The SMS/GG Special Stage Tune For The Special Stage Instead Of The Sega Genesis Special Stage Tune and Are You Planning On Changing The "Special Zone" Text Back To "Special Stage" When The End-Level Finishes On Showing The Player How Many Points They Get? :huh:
About the fonts, after trying them I think they clash with the aesthetic that I try to achieve, but do not worry this is a fair democracy and the effort is rewarded, so I will include them as an optional patch for those who want to enjoy them* :thumbsup:

1. Yes, it took a lot of work to get it, for it was necessary to rewrite the end of level screen from scratch, but I think the result was worth it, I hate to leave things half :D
♦ I had to break down all this (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png) information (https://paste.ofcode.org/KjmNyq8acUfiiPUKxJLDRB) to understand everything correctly :o
2. It's strange, this question has been asked several times, even four comments before your question I answered a similar query, anyway I will assume that you had a very busy day to read, so:
About the "chaos emerald", you must understand that this project is designed to facilitate any attempt for future improvement, so I advance on all that is within my capabilities, my strength is the graphics and patience, thanks to both slowly I went giving me an idea of how almost everything that is important works, but although technically I could create the alternative screens that you mention, I still can not program everything necessary to integrate them into the game.
For that reason, the "chaos emerald" currently have no greater purpose than being there and looking pretty, when I finish doing everything I can do alone, maybe I will try asking for help, but it is logical to think that it is not an easy task, since each The person has their occupations and the idea of messing with a stranger's project can be somewhat intimidating.
That is why I also consider the possibility of writing a publication detailing all the purposes that I have not achieved, in this way the one that is interested in contributing its bit, but is not willing to complicate by compromising with anyone will have its space ;)
3. Recently I started to analyze the patch that Ti created to improve the music, as a curious fact I discovered that the original music engine and its tracks are still present in the game, on the other hand I understood the reason why the demonstrations are no longer available level from "Marble Zone" onwards, it seems that the game uses a reduced copy of these sequences stored in a different sector of the game or at least it has been altered to work in this way :'(
The problem is that my lack of musical notions prevent me from advancing at the speed that the public would like, on the other hand, although some people have suggested that I ask Ti for help directly, I think it is a bit shameless to try it when dealing with his own work.
I had not noticed the error in the name of the special stage, for the moment I do not know how to solve it, but I will see what I can do, thank you very much for reporting it (https://orig00.deviantart.net/e512/f/2017/091/0/0/migi_yeah_by_terwilf-db4biaq.gif)

I'm curious as to how close to completion this project is. What are you currently working on and is there much else on your endless list of jobs you need to get done?
Some time ago I overcame the objectives that I had initially proposed to release this hack, but with the feedback of the people my goals were expanded, for that reason it is difficult to establish when I will terminate this project.
Currently I divide my work into two blocks, the first one is "Possible goals" and the second is "Unlikely things", the problem is that even though with the second block I have great possibilities of failing are the tasks that most they attract to try to carry them out, because when I overcome them I feel a very great satisfaction, without mentioning that I am likely to discover relevant information in the process.
Before releasing a preliminary version of the game I would like to repair the course of some levels and see how to balance the distribution of the objects too, the problem is that I am a little discouraged to know that if there were any tool it would be an infinitely easier job, that's why I'm waiting for the right opportunity to start that titanic task :thumbsup:
Honestly, this looks great. Good job. As goals should go, you should remember when to ask people for help when you know you're stumped. You should also only work from time to time in order to prevent burnout. But as far as you've gone, this looks great.
Thank you very much for everything, I will try to put into practice what you have suggested :thumbsup:
More great progress on this I see! :thumbsup: I really like the new end-of-level scoreboard.
I had a question about Eggman's first appearance. The wrecking ball under the Eggmobile is only shown a quarter at a time, which I'm guessing may have been done in the original to keep the number of sprites-per-scanline (or some other similar technical limit) down to what can be shown on the NES? If that's right, could the different quarters be made to rotate more quickly to create the illusion of a single, flickering ball? (Apologies if this is a stupid question - I don't know much about the constraints!)
It does already do that :P
The ball in-game flickers at one quarter per frame which, while not ideal, works well enough. The reason the GIFs here show it as being slower is because sics makes them themself, so you can't expect them to be that accurate. Some of the other animations play at the wrong speed in the GIFs too.
Retroverse
Thank you very much, I really tried hard to fix that screen! :thumbsup:
On the other hand, as Gastronomicon (HPJ) mentioned the animations are not a faithful reproduction of how the game exposes its graphics, since it runs at 60Hz, and the updates of each graphic are not carried out harmoniously to be exact, that's why I focus on exhibiting the changes that I am making in a simplified way, but always keeping relation with the original sequences, although in this case I made an error, in the image the animation should be executed in the following order:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/7260/f/2019/050/8/2/bola_rapida_by_terwilf-dd05rll.gif)
* Even so, I think the confusion is understandable, but you should keep in mind that the public that I address mainly are people who have knowledge of how the game looks, likewise do not worry I'm very happy that you have been interested in my project and I would like clarify that for me every question is important, so if you wish I can give you a demo of the latest version of this hack, so you can see everything in more detail :beer:
Spoiler
* In this capture try to reproduce the sequence with greater fidelity, but apparently this format does not support a higher speed than the current, I'm sorry :P
Gastronomicon
Hi! :laugh:
Did You Manage To Add The New Title Screen For The Upcoming NES Improvement?
Just wondering... Labyrinth Zone has lots of areas like this where the water levels don't line up properly
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/bdeab6a2-2ed7-4b9d-8763-e7541a035556/dd0e8a2-8d944154-a974-4f7d-9230-f268fe464d8f.png)
Would you be willing to change that if you have that chance? (IDK how you would, the only way I can think of is to find that level editor you're looking for)
SuperStarFox
It's pretty, is not it?
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/a8cf/f/2019/053/2/b/s1_tscreen_03_by_terwilf-dd0ffg6.gif)
Although unfortunately the sector that is responsible for creating the layer that colors the skin of Sonic is encoded as a single block and not as several independent sprites as he presumed after analyzing the RAM, in addition the whole uses a single palette, so not is adapted in any way to the minimum requirements necessary to adapt the title screen you design :'(, this can be seen in more detail from line 983 onwards of the code fragment that I showed you in the previous comment:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd0fgf1-8c942ba2-e42c-4c62-aefb-630763b85dfa.png)
In this objective I have put all my effort for a long time, so after thinking about it I think it is essential to ask for the help of someone with more experience so as not to waste all that work.*
Spoiler
* The only reason why I have not started an article about it is because I am currently suffering from pneumonia, so I only dedicate myself to nonsense like updating this article or some graphic edition. (Only to distract me when I feel bad)
Gastronomicon
Actually discarding the sites that are not really connected to the level, this error only occurs twice in Labyrinth, on the other hand as I mention I intend to fix everything that is within my reach and if I'm lucky a little more :thumbsup:
But even though I would love to have an editor with which to optimize my results, if you look more closely the rom that is testing will realize that the routes of the first three areas are slightly edited.
This is because in spite of not having a simple and accessible method I have the ability to edit the levels, since this is a handful of hexadecimal numbers that correctly superimposed on a level image result in a global map of each act.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcz52ev-b8c3b9c2-5030-4749-96e4-401628f0613e.png/v1/fill/w_1280,h_129,q_80,strp/green_hill_zone_act_1_by_terwilf_dcz52ev-fullview.jpg)
(http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)Real size image (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fuz7pfWZxnA2c_pVMX58b8X2lAncxduF) But this is inefficient in several ways that it is not necessary to mention :P
I'm sure this hack will be great, I remember when I was young I was given a Chinese nes and a cartridge came with the "somari", and I always had the hope that someone modified it so that it would be "almost" the same as the sega master version.
Thanks Sics for moving forward. :beer:
I played "Somari" for the first time in a NOAC Famiclon similar to PSOne, when they lent the cartridge to my brother, although at that moment I thought it was great, after trying the Megadrive version I started to suspect that the game might not have as much quality as I thought :laugh:
Being honest I think that the game will only feel complete when they fix the physics, the soundtrack is completed and everything necessary to apply the new title screen is solved.
Speaking only as a fan I would love for Ti and Amilgi to meet, but for my part, the only thing I can promise is that I will make an effort to leave the game as best I can :thumbsup:
Small update
1. The EggmanMovil graphics were updated again.
2. Eggman's escape animations were corrected.
3. The initial position of Eggman's Wrecking Ball was corrected.
4. The animation of the Wrecking Ball was corrected.
5. The capsule of Labyrinth Zone is leveled.
6. Order my notes :D
1. Although the final highlight is similar to the previous version.
2. Now the palette does not get corrupted when Eggman escapes.*
3. Did you notice that the Wrecking Ball was emerging from your head? :laugh:
4. Now the animation runs the same as the first mockup that it presents.
5. To achieve this it was necessary to identify Eggman's programming in Labyrinth, but now I learned that this information is always below the data of the enemies of the last act of the Zone in question.
* It would be very beneficial to get the EggmanMovil and the enemy of the Final Zone to use individual palette settings, in case you are a sexy hacker with the ability to help achieve that goal, I attach the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)code block (https://paste.ofcode.org/DC7RiwdJCyLXnY7ETKx5xT) that controls this information.
I Love The New Update You Did Today...
While You Were Busy, I Also Worked On and Fully Tested The Pocket Adventure Fonts For The NES Game of Sonic The Hedgehog and It Works Perfectly... I Even Used The Fonts For My Update On Ms. Pac-Man - The Arcade Edition On NES And It Works Also! :laugh:
By The Way, In Case Your Wondering... I Used https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/108/ (Tile Layer Pro) To Edit Sprites, Text, and Some Tiles! :)
P.S: Keep Up The Good Work Sics, Your Kingtastic Amounts of Work Is Really Paying Off! :thumbsup:
Aaaah this is going so well! But by "eggman's escape" do you mean in labyrinth zone, or have you managed to implement the animations of him escaping from final zone? Because if the latter, that's really cool!
As I promised here I share some videos with the latest changes in the project :beer:
(https://img.youtube.com/vi/EVs1nPxVxNE/mqdefault.jpg) (https://youtu.be/EVs1nPxVxNE) (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HVERhrlQQqA/mqdefault.jpg) (https://youtu.be/HVERhrlQQqA) (https://img.youtube.com/vi/z0OAwMCnM0M/mqdefault.jpg) (https://youtu.be/z0OAwMCnM0M)

♦ In these videos you can see the first corrections I made in the battles against Eggman, the current aspect of the Special Stage, the most recent version of the Marble Zone tunnels and the new remodeling of the end screen of level.
Spoiler
Note 1: The changes in Eggman's wrecking ball are only noticeable in HD.
Note 2: The lack of audio in the videos is due to a problem with the OBS, please excuse the inconvenience (http://www.romhacking.net/smf/Smileys/newyabb/thumbsup.gif)
SuperStarFox
Great, I insist that you should upload the patch to the community, you could even open a thread about it to make your work known! (https://orig00.deviantart.net/e512/f/2017/091/0/0/migi_yeah_by_terwilf-db4biaq.gif)
Gastronomicon
No, I have not implemented anything new at the moment, I have only improved what was already :beer:
About your query I was referring to your regular appearances at the end of each Zone.
Since the frames used when fleeing were wrongly aligned which caused an incorrect loading of the palette when this animation was executed :P
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/8450/f/2019/058/f/c/eggman_old_by_terwilf-dd0v5l3.gif)
Okay, But I'm Not Sure How To Upload Patches On Romhacking!
But I Think I'll Try To Make A Patch For The Game And Make This Improvement a Demo Just For Some People In Case They Want To Give It a Try Until Your Done With The Final Version! :-\
Do not worry, this type of work is done for love and has no deadline, what happens is that the hack has really been so good that you taught me that I thought it was a complete product, sorry if I made you feel pressured :thumbsup:
It Was My Pleasure!
I Also Hope That Someone Will One Day Take The Opportunity To Re-Improve Super Mario World On NES Soon Cause That Game Has Been Improved Years Ago But Nobody Managed To Fix The Music Which is Kind Of a Shame! :'(
I suggested that maybe sics should take on Super Mario World after finishing this, further improving either the Jabu's work or finishing LooneyDude's version, as they're doing such a brilliant job here. The chanes of it are slim, though :-\
This type of projects is done out of love, not commitment... :thumbsup:
On the other hand the CadEditor has the codecs to edit the level blocks of Super Mario World (Nes) and the HummerTeam I understand that it uses the same engine for all its games.
I recommend using the notes in this publication to understand how the levels work, and to take note of the pointers from the game codecs in CadEditor ;)
And of course supporting this project would not hurt me either :beer:
Hey Sics...
I Got Some Questions To Ask?
Have You Managed To Find Someone Smart Enough To Add The Somari Team Presents Screen Thus Changing The Text TO "Sonic Team Presents"?
Did You Figure Out How To Install the New Title Screen To The Game's Improvement Yet?
Have You Thought On Letting Amilgi Help You Out On Some Audio Improvements, For Example... The Ring Sound Effect Is Way Too High Pitched!
I Hope Tails Will Be Playable Very Very Soon Cause All I Can Do Is Wait!
Also... In Case Your Wondering, I Was Working On Hummer Thus Giving Him a Brand New Look Ever Since Hummer Team Was Discontinued!
For the time being I am still working to understand the operation of the game screens and evaluating possible solutions to apply my title screen, so it is not convenient to request help for that at the moment :-\
Of course I would love to have the help of Amilgi, but just as I am not a composer, he is not a programmer, so this equation still needs numbers to get the result we all want, I think the most logical thing is be patient ;)
And I would like the girl I like to fall in love with me :'( I have already said several times that the creation of other characters at the moment is not part of my project, I think it would be best to find out who did this work and see what your goals are:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dcyt7w2-d8d1276a-15c1-4a2c-be7b-e221261e0f9b.png/v1/fill/w_1192,h_670,q_70,strp/tails_fox_by_terwilf_dcyt7w2-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NzIwIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvM2EyZWU1ZjItMTA4OC00ODdhLWIzYzEtMGFiN2RjMzA3NTg3XC9kY3l0N3cyLWQ4ZDEyNzZhLTE1YzEtNGEyYy1iZTdiLWUyMjEyNjFlMGY5Yi5wbmciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9MTI4MCJ9XV0sImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl19.z71p4_hVNpg9LCHJ8ssTYUlFFeD0CGrpDEWk2fwtsXk)
Naturally, you know that I like your work :thumbsup:, on the other hand about design, I think it would look nicer with some tweaks:

On the other hand this is the new mockup of the "Final Zone", it is still not possible to use this color configuration with Eggman, but when I finish creating the new animations I will see to ask for help in the programming section :beer:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd12at0-26259563-e95c-4bdb-bfd5-09115f1003a0.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQxMmF0MC0yNjI1OTU2My1lOTVjLTRiZGItYmZkNS0wOTExNWYxMDAzYTAucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.ZDdcWV4NXvvaHpF1vyNO3fk4gyjBPTA_KKUWWBru8WM)
The Final Zone Mockup Looks Perfect...
Are There Any More Mockups You Like To Show Us Or Any Improvements On One Of The Other Zones? :)
Really yes, but I am one of the people who think that the content of a game is discovered playing.
Honestly this informative thread arose after my last project was cataloged as just "a minor graphic hack", despite being much more than that :P
I must also acknowledge that I do not regret the change, since along the way I found it comforting to have the opinion, collaboration and support of others :thumbsup:
When I started to optimize Eggman animations I got the impression that I was suffering :laugh:

Sorry To See That,.. I Hope You'll Fix It Soon! :angel:
Do not worry, there is nothing broken but quite the opposite, what you see in the previous capture is only a transient effect of the last update I am working on:
(https://img.youtube.com/vi/zECF8mUfpTw/mqdefault.jpg) (https://youtu.be/zECF8mUfpTw)
About this update:
● It is working to update all the bosses.
● New graphics added.
● Eggman animations were optimized.
● A lot of things were remapped.
● Flames do not share their graphics anymore.
● The time bonus was reduced to 2000 pts.
great progress of the project :beer:
I think sometimes to make an idea big, you just need a person to believe in it, and you were the first to trust in this project, for that and much more thank you very much :thumbsup:
After Seeing The New Title Screen Last Time... Why Did I Think Adding The Sega Logo Was a Good Idea You May Ask? It's Because I Wanted To Make The NES Improvement Have Some More New Things Added To The Game So It Would Be Closer To The Genesis Port! By The Way Sics... I Also Read One Of Your Old Posts About The Megadrive Sonic Sprites and To Be Honest, I Really Like Those NES Style Genesis Sprites, They Looked Really Good (Even Though You Discarded The Idea!) By The Way... How Is The Improvement Coming Along?

I completely agree! Don't tell sics, but I actually prefer the Megadrive version to the current "modified Jabu" one
SuperStarFox
Originally I decided to hack this game because from the first time I played it I felt the potential I had, I must even be one of the few who loved the soundtrack created by Hummer, that's why I understand that feeling of wanting to see something grow :beer:
On the other hand answering your question, I think that the Nintendo logo would have been ugly? :D
SuperStarFox & Gastronomicon
Seriously speaking, I also liked the sprites that I drew, but I made the decision to continue on this path for more than one reason:
1° Each artist has his vision of how things should be done, but few are the artists who dedicated their time, effort and love to work in this game, so if each one of us instead of doing new things we would have limited ourselves to remake the work of others, this project would never have advanced.
2° It could occupy that time to make to Tails, the tab on which he worked was not only a graphic change but a complete reissue, so placing it would entail the same effort as placing a new character. (No way am I saying that I'm going to work in Tails)
3° Unfortunately I work alone, so doing all the animations would greatly reduce the time I have for everything else, and we do not want this to be a hack that our grandchildren end up playing right? :laugh:
4° I never said that I would not finish the file, I just said that I discarded that idea for this project, it is logical that if I want to achieve what I propose I will impose realistic goals.
5° I began to draw these graphs at a very early stage of the project, calculating that I would eventually find people interested in participating in this proposal.
SuperStarFox
On the other hand, although I am really happy that you are interested in the improvement, remember that at this moment I am sick and I do not dedicate every minute of my existence to this project, also I can not update this publication to comment on every inconsequential modification that I have made , since people would eventually lose interest in my work and I do not want that :thumbsup:
Gastronomicon
Your secret will be safe with me :laugh:
This whole project looks amazing!
I assume it has something to do with the Somari mapper engine, but one of the things that has always bothered me is the horizontal bar on the very bottom of the screen covering up ground tiles.
Even with this extensive improvement, that still remains...
can that be fixed to make the game 'full screen'?
Hey Sics...
How's The New Title Screen, Did You Figure Out How To Apply It Yet and How's The Rest Of The Game Improvement Coming Along? :)
Satoshi_Matrix
Quote from: Satoshi_Matrix on March 10, 2019, 04:29:49 AM

I know what you are referring to, I also hate that aspect of the game, but I do not know how to solve it, since it is not that the game draws any specific tiles there *, but everything that is under that line is eliminated, both the background and the objects :P
Despite this, by crashing the game it is possible to realize that originally the game if you draw the graphics in that sector. Another detail is that this line is not used in any of the transition screens between levels.
On the other hand I imagine that the function of this line is to hide the abrupt cut suffered by the waterfalls in Green Hill, since otherwise I can not make sense of it :-\
Spoiler
* This is not an assumption, since I checked it replacing all the graphics of the game, and unfortunately this line did not suffer any change :(
SuperStarFox
For the title screen I have two options: 1º One option is to see how to adapt my design back to the previously discovered limitations by creating a graphically lower version.
2º I can also choose to ask for help from someone technically better prepared to rewrite the operation of it in a way that best suits my design.
But as I said, I find myself working on other things at the moment, so I recommend waiting for him to publish some kind of update of the topic before asking another question about it.
About the rest of the project, I was not doing anything really transcendent: ● I was playing with some palettes configurations.
● I was solving some bugs in certain zones*.
● I'm trying some alternative graphics, for example:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/0dbc/f/2019/072/c/2/z1_002_v2_by_terwilf-dd21neh.gif)
On the other hand I discovered that in the game it is still possible to cross some walls under very specific circumstances, these bugs happen in the
"Green Hill" pipes, in the union of two different block types in
"Marble", and in the blocks of lions that touch the ground in
"Labyrinth", the latter are the only ones I already know how to fix.
Finally I would like to recommend the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)
gameplay (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH8RBvTDgTM&list=PL6fUuxRtsksj9zUWwOPJhPBU_tFJ2e5W6) that SuperStarFox has made by trying an old version of this hack, in which you can see several interesting things that I have not commented on in my publications.
Spoiler
* For example in "Labyrinth" there are no "surface blocks" under the water and you can not pass the spike of the floor among other things that I solved :laugh:
Note: Really sometimes I get the feeling that I do not have a real interaction with you, the problem with that is that I do not think you are a bad person, but this type of communication is not healthy, it seems that you only consider what I say when I talk about you :'(

Wow, that waterfall is stunning!
amazing :o
Alternative graphics are great, it gives the project a lot of fresh quality and it improves the colors a lot
I love the waterfall, it's pure work quality :crazy:

Good job Sics :beer: :thumbsup:
Thanks, I just thought to include them only as alternative graphics, but I suspect that you prefer to make them the default graphics for the patch :D
On the other hand I was also testing the cascades of STH - Triple Trouble, but they need some editing to adapt to the general aesthetics of Green Hill.
Note: At this level, if I'm not mistaken, the colors are supposed to be the same, I just changed the emulator, to avoid confusion later I'll start using the same palette in all the emulators I use :thumbsup:
Would you look at that, an 8-bit Sonic game. Never was big on the MasterSystem/GameGear version, myself.

This isn't an 8-bit Sonic game, this is an extensive reworking of a bootleg Taiwanese unlicensed port of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 for MD to the Famicom with Mario instead of Sonic called Somari. Cool idea on paper, but Somari was plagued with bugs.
This hack works to fix the biggest issues and replace most (if not all?) of the original Somari sprites and ake the game MUCH more playable.
But that said,if the real Sonic games on Master System/GameGear don't appeal to you, this one probably won't either.
A fast action platformer with four way scrolling is a tall order for 8-bit hardware. 16 bit platforms can handle it so much easier and at higher resolutions. This is really more of a passion project to sort of fully realize the concept of Somari into an actual good game.
Sics, The Waterfall Animation is So Beautiful, It Looks So Beautiful...
But Princess Beautiful DIED OF BALDNESS!!!
On The Other Hand, How's The Progress On The Rest Of Green Hill Zone Including All Of The Other Zones (Expect For Scrap Brain Zone)! :)
Will there still be a chance to play as Somari if you corrupt the game in the right way?
to UltrEpicLeader100, I Don't Think So... This Hack Focuses More On Sonic Rather Than Somari, If You Still Want To Play as Somari, Then You Should Download Somari 3D Blast 5 Since That Game Lets You Play as Somari, Sonic, and Hummer!
First I would like to thank all those who have participated in the survey that I published.

I confess that I would have loved to release a demo to know your opinion about the game, but it is a democracy, so I guess I'll wait another time :laugh:
Spooniest
Being honest I prefer the Sonic romhacks to their official games, I can not believe that being defenseless when you push with a spring is considered a game mechanic. That's why it cost me so much to give Megaman a chance, until Robocop crouches down, god! :P

Thank you very much, I do not see Adventure Time, so I did not understand the reference, the next one tries with something from Steven Universe :thumbsup:

At first I thought it could be an interesting nod to the crossover that started with this game, but it's really a bad idea, I guess I'll include it with the extras.
About what I am doing, I would not like to talk too much ahead of time, since I am the kind of person who does not feel any kind of remorse for discarding weeks of work when their results do not meet their expectations 8)
On what to expect from Scrap Brain I actually managed to correct the data of the title screen and the music of that level, so now they work correctly, I guess that's something :D
UltraEpicLeader100
Somari's data is no longer present in the game, since they were replaced to include Sonic, the only way Somari revisits Green Hill would be if a person without common sense searched and identified each of the data originals of Somaria in his natal game, but do you know how long it would take to do such a thing? :P

I Love The Unused Scrap Brain Zone Track Since It Sounds So Good and That It Was Never Played In Somari!
Also Sics, What Do You Mean By "Corrected The Data For The Title Screen", Are You Saying That You Might Have Found A Way To Add The New Title Screen To The Game, If Not... Then Take Your Time. I Also Love To See How Pretty Green Hill Zone Is Now Going To Look, I Mostly Hope That You Upload More Videos On The Improvements You've Been Working On For Sonic On NES Soon! Until Then... Great Work! ;)

Well, theoretically, if the game was corrupted in
exactly the right way, the graphics could be replaced exactly by the ones from somari, but the chances of that actually happening are so slim that it is probably safe to say there's no point trying
SuperStarFox
Putting things in context I referred to the changes belonging to Scrap Brain, so I was referring to the level title screen, originally this level was titled Final Zone :thumbsup:

If you check the spoiler link of my previous comment, the chances of that happening may increase by 5% :beer:
PS: On the other hand corrupting information is only useful to understand what was the function of a specific sector, and even if you could achieve your goals by changing data randomly you would be opening the door to an endless number of unnecessary bugs ;)
Sics in case of a future hack that incorporates Scrap Brain Zone :thumbsup:

Oh Well... But Anyways Sics, I Think I Can Change The "Somari Team Presents" Text From Somari Back To "Sonic Team Presents"! My Version Of It Will Be a Bit More Better Than The Design That Hummer Team Didn;t Use For Sonic 5 on NES and I Think It'll Look Good, Until Then, Wish Me Guys Good Luck! :angel:
Sics, I Did It... I Managed To Change The "Somari Team Presents" To "Sonic Team Presents"! I Wish I Could Edit It a Bit, But I Decided To Keep It This Way and Decided Not To Edit Anything Else For The Somari Team Presents Screen Since I Got Really Tired Of Doing This! I Also Don't Know How To Add The Sonic Team Presents Screen To The Project Since I Only Did It On Somari Instead! In The Meantime, I'll Give You Time To Think About It and I'll Also Put It In or Out Of Your Mind, For Now! ;)

Of course there will be Final Zone, is more I am currently working to give a better finish, with some extra graphics and also adapting the spacecraft that is used in the rest of the game to use it in this area for reasons of coherence.
Therefore, to completely clear up the doubts, I clarify that correcting the data of Scrap Brain, only affects Scrap Brain, originally this zone loaded (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd2ddrh-3d717cea-7b14-4727-885b-7bc73101cc0a.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQyZGRyaC0zZDcxN2NlYS03YjE0LTQ3MjctODg1Yi03YmM3MzEwMWNjMGEucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.bh-FnyGPNbB3gQNPCuusv0XJeIc_8wV3iuQ04i5fOBc)erroneous data (https://youtu.be/x0N12K3HFfQ) on what cover should show and what music had to reproduce, now this does not happen :beer:
Remember that if you want to create graphics that can be used in a real game you should always take into account the restrictions of the original material, in this case the graphics of the screen mentioned are composed of two layers one of background (Somari Presents) and another of sprites (Team)
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ba0/f/2019/076/2/5/somari_team_by_terwilf-dd2dn08.gif)
You got It... Since I Finally Changed The "Somari Team Presents" To Sonic Team Presents!
How Did You Manage To Find Scrap Brain Zone and I Wonder What Scrap Brain Zone Is Going To Look Like Including The Final Zone! :)
Cool! Will you redraw all the letters or just the one necessary for your edition? :cookie:
As I mentioned returning the game to Scrap Brain is not among my goals, but in this case I do not discard it because I dislike the idea, but because I do not have the technical level to achieve it yet, so please avoid reading between lines in the future, it hurts to have to explain this again and again ;)

I do not agree, the idea of UltrEpicLeader100 seems to me just great, since for many Somari represents the first contact with the universe of Sonic, I also think that it is a mistake to think that this hack is only about creating a decent Sonic port, my desire is to create a game that despite the technical limitations can be enjoyed by all :beer:

I did not know that Amilgi developed the Scrap Brain Zone theme without being available, as it is broken in the game code :huh:
great to use the original theme, then Amilgi developed all the Bso of the Sonic 1 of MegaDrive by Famitracker :thumbsup:
It's a pity that Amilgi or Ti does not develop more music projects for the Nes, there are not many experts in developing music with famitracker :'(

We Got to page 10! Thank you Very Much for supporting this project! :beer:
Continuing with the updates, I recently found several very interesting memory addresses, among them I would like to highlight two:
A) 0x84 It is related to that annoying line that is at the bottom of all levels, also seems to be responsible for controlling the deletion and refreshment of some objects.
B) 0x9a It is related to the physics of water and the counter to drowned.
Quote from: Notes
A)
0x07e17b Here he sent me the debugger.
0x07e1d0 Writing EA the line disappears, but the rings and other objects are no longer eliminated.
0x07e1e5
0x07e22f
0x07e27d
0x07e1da Writing EA the line disappears, but the Sonic controls do not respond.
0x07e223 Writing EA the line disappears, but Sonic does not advance in any direction*
B) The physics of water do not alter the speed of Sonic, but exerts resistance on their movements, for that reason Sonic can not upload to some platforms of the Labyrinth.
0x07eadb Here he sent me the debugger.
0x03aa4e Here is the subject that is heard before drowning.
0x03bd90 In the FamiliKid version this block is different**
The drowning counter:
When this counter reaches 30 Sonic begins its cycle before drowning.
Enter 35 36 37 numerical counter is activated.
My objectives are to eliminate the lower line of the levels, modify the parameters of the counter that activates the drowning and make the water physics less tedious, but unfortunately my knowledge is still scarce :-\
So I will be grateful for any data, information or help that may contribute to advance in this sense, of course recognizing these contributions in the credits of the project :thumbsup:
Spoiler
* Even so their animations work normally.
** When I transcribe Familikid's data to the game, I'm not sure, but I feel that something changes, anyway when making a spindash the game is blocked.
Since you've mentioned labyrinth zone, you've just reminded me of something. In the original game, and I'll also assume* this one too, not all of the... bubble dispensing... things... actually produce bubbles (like this one here).

Now, I have no idea how this game handles objects so I'm just wondering if you intend to fix it at some point (by adding or modifying other objects). You could alternatively just remove the tiles for the "bubble dispensers" that don't work.

Hey Sics, About Last Time On The "Sonic Team Presents" Text Needed For This Game... When You Told Me If I Was Going To Redraw All The Letters Or Something Like That...? I Was Trying To Say Is I Don't Really Know, All I Did Was Use Tile Layer Pro And Stylized The Text With The Sonic Pocket Adventure Fonts, But Bigger Since Redesigning Them To Be Closer To The Sega Genesis Version Would Take An Extreme Amount Of Time, But Editing The Somari Team Presents Thus Changing It Back To Sonic Team Presents Was Totally Worth It!
By The Way... Any More Progress On This Game Lately...
(Old Man Jenkins): What Did I Miss?
Oh, yikes. This seems like a big problem. I haven't played through the game in a few months, so I totally forgot about this.
Aha! Now I actually have something to report that you probably don't know about...

This shows off a collision glitch in Marble Zone, that's pretty easy to come across if you know what to do.
I wonder if it would be possible to implement the Drop Dash in Somari? :huh:
Hey Sics, In One Of Your Latest Posts, You Said It's Horrible To Work Alone... Are You Planning On Getting Some Help For The Upcoming NES Improvement?
For Example: Amilgi Can Do Some Audio Improvements Such as The Ring Sound Effect, The Original Is Still Too High Pitched! White Fox's Improvement On Sonic For The NES Is So Amazing. I Think He Should Help You Out On The Bug Fixes Such as Sonic Popping Up Every Time He Uses His Spin Dash To Attack The Robot Badniks and The Loops That Causes Sonic To Not Be Able to Grab All Of The Rings But To Only Miss One Ring!

● Do you plan to fix the Labyrinth air dispensers? At the moment I am not sure, I would really like to solve the problems of the Labyrinth, but I want to do it consistently, that is why it is necessary to understand what I am facing to know what this setback implies objectively.
♦ First of all, the bubble deposits are just graphics embedded in the stage blocks, which is really responsible for generating the air bubbles is an object that could be added in any sector of the scenario.
♦ Also the levels are composed in a similar way to the runners of the
old cartoons, it means that they are only a sequence of images repeating over and over again, but in a more elaborate way.
♦ This causes that in some sections of the route, the scenario ends up being saturated with unnecessary air dispensers, if they all work, added to the fact that Sonic resists
60 seconds if breathing, the air administration mechanics would be damaged.
Even now without modifying the game, it is possible to overcome all levels of this area practically without using air dispensers:
(https://img.youtube.com/vi/ddDh5k9j-JU/mqdefault.jpg) (https://youtu.be/ddDh5k9j-JU)
Spoiler
Note: I believe that the best solution would be to reduce the time Sonic can hold his breath, and create an object with the ability to eliminate or hide surplus air dispensers, but for the moment I do not have the technical knowledge to achieve these goals (http://www.romhacking.net/smf/Smileys/newyabb/thumbsup.gif)

That problem is just a design error and since it certainly does not affect the gaming experience, I decided to ignore it and use the free space that would have been needed to repair it for things that I consider to be more transcendental :thumbsup:
What happens is that you can walk around, because it is effectively programmed as a floor, since this block is reused in other sectors in this way:

On the other hand I was analyzing the code of the original screen of (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)Somari Team (https://paste.ofcode.org/5GpFhvhsW5tcVM6A9Lpa3N) but I did not get very far with that, although I managed to understand quite how it works.
● Are you considering seeking help for this project? ♦ Before you can request the help of Amilgi it is necessary to find someone with the required to insert their compositions to the game, otherwise it makes no sense to disturb him.
♦ About White Fox, he doesn't seem to be interested in working with me, plus we both have a pretty different view of what this hack should be. Anyway, I think he's a great person, and I'm really curious about his work, I'd love to see more demonstration videos or at least be certain that he wants to continue with his project :cookie:
● Tell me your title screen is not a mirage (https://orig00.deviantart.net/840a/f/2019/086/5/0/mmm_by_terwilf-dd34pwg.gif)
Actually the blocks of data that I am analyzing, I study them in order to be able to use my title screen, among other things. Anyway if I do not achieve my goal I have several alternatives, such as making a new version of the title screen optimized to fully exploit the space with everything and its limitations.

Note: Is too early to decide that, so I repeat that it is best to be patient, I am too perfectionist with everything related to graphic design, so I plan to take as much time as I consider necessary to achieve the maximum of the objectives I pursue.

● Do you plan to implement new mechanics to the game? I would love it, but I do not have the necessary knowledge of programming, so this type of changes is subject to the eventual support from other hackers to this project(https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)
In the original Somari the air byte is $9A and this counts up.
Air Level Value Triggers:
#$30 changes the music to the low air warning music
#$36 flashes countdown at 5
#$37 flashes countdown at 4
#$38 flashes countdown at 3
#$39 flashes countdown at 2
#$3A flashes countdown at 1
#$3B has no visible countdown
#$3C is death
#$3D I'm not sure about
(PRG ROM addresses are without headers)
PRG ROM $2E5B8 increases AirLevel ($9A) by 1.
PRG ROM $3CBB5 compares the AirLevel ($9A) with #$3D and then jumps to $3CBBB if the carry flag is set.
PRG ROM $2A293 compares the AirLevel ($9A) with #$3C and then jumps to $2A2A0 if the carry flag is set.
PRG ROM $3A281 compares the AirLevel ($9A) with #$30 and then jumps to $#A28E if the carry flag is set.
PRG ROM $3AA2E loads #$3B into the accumulator, sets the carry flag, subtracts the AirLevel ($9A) from the accumulator, stores the accumulator in $28, and branches to $3AA41 if the zero flag is set or jumps to $3AA39 if the number isn't negative, then compares with #$06, then jumps to $3AA42 if carry flag is clear.
I've tested adjusting the air time by subtracting 10h from #$3D, #$3C, #$30, and #$3B and the music, countdown, and death all played when expected.
tl;dr The numbers you have to change are at the following offsets (with header)
3CBC6
2A2A4
3A292
3AA3F
The Sonic Team Presents and The SEGA Logo Mockups That You Made Looks Amazing and I Hope You'll Find Somebody Smart Enough To Add a Sega Logo Screen and a Sonic Team Presents Screen! Also, Did Anything New Happen To Star Light Zone? :huh:

I will comment on my experiences applying the modifications you have proposed: I started making the changes you mentioned, everything worked perfectly, then I expanded the
rom to get the necessary pointers to make the changes in the version that Jabu & Ti modified.
From this process I obtain the following pointers:
2A2A4
3A292
3AA3F
7CBC6 <
(Last pointer) So far everything is fine, but when I go to the last pointer, none of the data matches, I look for that data and I find it in 7EAD8:

But as in my tribe have not invented the fire yet, although at first glance it seems obvious that I am in the right location and everything works correctly, that little doubt forces me to ask Am I right?

Thank you very much, it would really be great to find someone to expand the possibilities of the project, although I do not really have much experience on how to do that :P
About Star Light is undoubtedly the most problematic area of all, for that reason the changes I have made at the moment are fundamentally graphic, because to leave that area as I want, I will have to deliver soul, heart and life (https://orig00.deviantart.net/0b55/f/2019/086/d/7/heart_by_terwilf-dd34pwm.gif)
Personally I think it should be a crime that a level with such great music is so frustrating at times (https://orig00.deviantart.net/42fc/f/2019/086/9/a/dry_by_terwilf-dd34pwv.gif)

I have tested the hyperlink on several different devices and it seems to work fine, anyway here is an (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1614/f/2019/087/8/c/download_by_terwilf-dd39bcf.gif) alternative link (in Deviantart) (https://www.deviantart.com/terwilf/art/Sonic-NES-Demakes-Pack-791433656) in a more popular compression format(https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)

As I made those images without any expectation, it did not occur to me to list them so that people could give their opinion, apologize, later I promise to make a more adequate presentation :thumbsup:
Spoiler
Note 1: I have assumed that the version of the game you are referring to is "Somari (SOMARI-W) (Unl) [!]" Since it is the only one that matches your description.
Note 2: I can not believe it's true that there are people who eat pizza in Sandwich, I hope they're just kidding (http://www.romhacking.net/smf/Smileys/newyabb/laugh.gif)
I didn't think to check if code was moved around between Somari and Jabu & Ti's version.
I searched for the surrounding code for each part and located them in the expanded ROM. The offsets for each value are:
#$3D is at $7EAD8 (Header)
#$3C is at $2A2A4 (Header)
#$30 is at $36292 (Header)
#$3B is at $36A3F (Header)
I'm confused, using the new pointers, the changes did not have the expected effects, but with the pointers that I had previously obtained everything seems to work well (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif)
Also, when comparing the old addresses with those provided to me, everything seems to indicate that except for a few bits it is a duplicate sector. Could it be that it is not used or will be used under any specific circumstance?
If you are interested I can give you a copy of the hack by private, but in this sense there should be no substantial differences with the versions circulating on the internet :thumbsup:
You can PM it to me if you want, but here's the bytes I'm searching for to find each so you can search your version:
Expecting to find C9 3D B0 02 E6 9A C6 9B 10 04 A9 00 85 9B C6 9C to edit #$3D
Expecting to find C9 3C 90 09 A5 1D C9 09 F0 03 4C FF 89 60 0A AA to edit #$3C
Expecting to find C9 30 90 09 A5 1E C9 09 F0 03 20 2C AA A5 9B F0 to edit #$30
Expecting to find A9 3B 38 E5 9A 85 28 F0 0A 10 00 C9 06 90 05 A9 to edit #$3B
I will be happy to send you a copy of the game :thumbsup:, although I do not think it is necessary to inquire more about the Labyrinth countdown issue, since it is indeed a repeated block, I have verified it after analyzing the differences of both sectors in the same rom:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/edec/f/2019/087/c/e/sht___bloque_repetido_by_terwilf-dd3932x.gif)
For the time being I will test this new modification as much as possible, although in any event I plan to replace the values of the sectors of the code that seem to be not being used, I think it is best until it is verified that this block of code has no effect on the game.
Hey Sics, Did You Perform Any Tests On One Of The Levels For Sonic The Hedgehog On NES? Are You Thinking Of Add The Unused Sprites For Dr. Eggman Where He's Falling and Running After Defeating Him In The Final Zone, I Found Something Like That In Somari and It Can Be Found In The Cutting Room Floor Website. Are You Also Going To Think Of Adding The Unused Drown Sprite Where If The Timer Reaches 0 While He's In The Water, He Drowns To Death!? Would It Be Really Impossible to Add a Checkpoint Monitor and It Make It Work Perfectly Like In The Game Gear/Master System Versions Of Sonic 1? I Honestly Love The Improvements You Did On Green Hill Zone Since It Was One Of My Most Favorite Levels In Sonic 1 and I Really Like Amilgi's Music Track Version of Green Hill Zone Since It Sounds Much Better Than Hummer Team's Version Of Green Hill Zone! I Hope The Improvement For The Rest Of The Game Gets Finished Soon... I Almost Forgot, Any Status Report On Scrap Brain Zone Yet? :huh: :) ;) :o :angel: :laugh: :happy: :thumbsup:
● Did you do more tests?
I was testing the Sonic 2 of Master System to rip some graphics and know their mechanics, and I really prefer the NES, I expected a more polished game coming from SEGA :P
● What changes will Eggman have?
I am working to update the Eggman graphics, adding some new things, but none that need to make any drastic changes to the code :D
● Restoring the zero in the countdown?
No, this is not possible because all the space on the tile is already occupied.
● Is it possible to restore control points?
I have no idea... (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif)
● Green Hill!
Do not forget that part of the graphic aspect of Green Hill and many other areas we owe also to FuriousTH, sincerely I would never have considered starting with this new stage of the project if it were not for their work :thumbsup:
● I wish the wait would over.
Before I felt the same, but I decided to take things more calmly. ::)
● Information about Scrap brain?
None, because as I said Scrap Brain is not part of the current objectives of this project(https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)
Dude, I'm So Sorry About That! :'(
It's Just, After All This Work You've Done To Give Sonic The Finish He Deserves... You Just Did So Amazing Into Making This Game Look Like A Homebrew Game Rather Then a Bootleg Game! :)
I Just Hope You Finish The Improvement Very Soon... Cause I Can't Wait To Try The Final Improvement Of The Game Very Soon! :)
Thank you very much and do not be sad, remember that I do not speak English fluently, therefore I often can not express myself as I would like, so I understand that these misunderstandings arise(https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)
In summary, I manage my time to meet as many objectives as possible, but I mainly focus on the goals that I feel I have possibilities to achieve, on the other hand if on the way I find something I can fix and it was not in my plans, I do not hesitate to do it :thumbsup:
On the other hand you will have to excuse me, since I still have a lot of desire to fix several things, so you will have to wait some time until this project ends (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
Ah, one last clarification, my biggest wish is that this project does not end here with me, I'm very excited about the idea that this game continues to grow (https://orig00.deviantart.net/b937/f/2019/087/7/0/bounce_by_terwilf-dd38dpn.gif)

Did You Manage To Fix This Problem Where One Ring is Never Collected In The Loops Yet? :) :huh:

If I had to pick a favourite, it'd be this. It just looks more like something that'd be in an NES game, where all the others look like they're trying to look like they're on a Genesis or SNES. I'm not saying I don't like the others, but this one is my favourite.

Without a doubt the version that I liked the most was the one in the following image, since it looks great with filters or if they, in any case I consider that the ones you have chosen are among the best :thumbsup:

Although the observation you have made seems right to me, I think it is not an absolute truth, these coloring techniques can be observed in the
NES, only they are generally reserved for title screens or with some luck in places where it is needed that the graphics stand out from the others (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwr-3cc43cc0-8b5a-4e8e-8131-1f7fac3d9261.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3ci0zY2M0M2NjMC04YjVhLTRlOGUtODEzMS0xZjdmYWMzZDkyNjEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.oZgOQlQeSpeXZC-mmQFRFSAic6qeVIbgXP-ptEgSCVo)

* Although I'm sure I've talked about this, I can not find a conversation that confirms this assumption, maybe I hear it from another programmer or I'm confused :beer:
I know it seems an unnecessary clarification, but I do not like to say things that are not true, unless it's to safeguard a fugitive who was unjustly accused of a crime he did not commit and wants to take a trip in search of justice. That was very specific? :-\
If you're open minded to flickering tricks it's possible to achieve a more "16-bitish" Sega logo - like this one I did 7 years ago:

Hey Sics, How Are Sonic's Animations Coming Along?
and Question... Are There Any Graphical Change, Any New Animations Added Lately, and How Did You Reduce The Time From 5,000 to 2,000? :huh:

Hey Sics, After Some Thinking... I Think The Clouds In Green Hill Zone Should Be Improved and About Eggman's Graphics From One Of Your Previous Posts... I'd Go With The One On The Right Since It Takes Better Advantage Of The Colors! Also Eggman Should Have a Nose and His Head Should Still Be Rounder Like In The Original Version... Hope You'll Plan On Investigating More Bugs So You Can Fix Them and Finally Release This Version! :-\
I'm really liking the progress, this is gonna be amazing when it's done. :beer:

On the other hand, although I appreciate your interest, I do not have sufficient technical knowledge to insert new screens to the game, those models were made in response to (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)SuperStarFox (https://www.deviantart.com/supastarfox/art/SEGA-CD-Sonic-s-Finger-Wag-8-BIT-790453214)' initiative, only to motivate him to give the best of himself.

The Animations of Sonic.
At the moment it is too early to reveal information about what I am trying to do. Thank you! :thumbsup:
Time Bonus.
To reduce the score of the time bonus I had to find its hexadecimal value and modify it, usually this data is found using the debugger, but in this case as I sensed that this value could be found near other data that I had previously identified, I simply used the hexadecimal editor search and wrote the full number of the bonus with the format that the game uses.
The Clouds.
In the current version I have redistributed all the clouds and corrected some mountains, although I am still not happy with the results. I've also tried some other things, but it's not worth talking about until I make a decision.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik (or Eggman for friends)
With the modification of the final Bosses I have also simplified the Eggman tab, so it is now easier to create alternative versions, on the other hand remember that the Eggman design is limited by the distribution of the pallets, so I have no way to achieve what you request.

I hope you're right, I never imagined that people would be interested in such a modest project like this, thank you very much!
Let Me Explain Clearly On Just One Thing... Back In Page 7, It Was This Previous Post. "They are like my curtains, they are there but they are useless :laugh:, as I said before, at the moment they are just a modified currency :D
No need to ask, any kind of help will be welcome :beer:
By the way, I draw this other version leaving aside the original scheme to take better advantage of the colors, what do you think of it? :beer:"
It Was That Post I Was Trying To Explain About Earlier and I Liked The Other Version Of Eggman's Graphics That Takes Better Advantage Of The Colors Instead Of The Original Version That Was From Sonic The Hedgehog On Sega Genesis!
Also, You Corrected The Mountains and Redistributed The Clouds... Impressive! :laugh:
If There Was One Level You Would Enjoy So Much More Than Any Other Level In Sonic On NES, What Would It Be?
For Me, It's Green Hill Zone! ::)
Dr. Eggman 2 - The revenge of Robotnik. But if you have read my previous publications you should know that the following comment I made after the one you mentioned was:
Quote from: sics on February 11, 2019, 07:20:09 PM
Gastronomicon (Hello Gastronomicon of the past, how are you? :laugh:)
I think it's a very wise criticism, "I suppose I could include it as an optional extra" (Referring to Eggman) :thumbsup:
So when I commented that: "it is now easier to create alternative versions" by context, I assumed that I would understand that I was referring both to that comment and to the fact that I can now modify Eggman's graphics more easily.
Favorite Zone Act3. The levels that I have played the most are those of Green Hill, but without a doubt my favorite area is the Marble Zone, I am not sure if it is for all the effort involved in its remodeling, but I love the result that was obtained thanks to the joint effort of all those who participate in it :beer:

Nice, I Hope The Rest Of The Project Gets Fininshed Soon! :angel:
I think I had already heard that somewhere ::)
Thanks for your interest on the stuff I do.
Even without flickering tricks you could use just one of these 2 frames (I think it would look good enough).
It would require just a few background tiles and 2 palettes:

Without the flicker effect it would look like this on a NTSC screen:

Congratulations on your project!
If Someone Knows How To Add More Screens For Sonic on NES, So We Can Get a SEGA Logo and a Sonic Team Presents... PLZ GO FOR IT!!! CAUSE SONIC NEEDS THIS SERIOUSLY!!!
Hi.
I uploaded the source of a music hack, if someone needs it:
https://yadi.sk/d/CpU4zKeWvMRrSQ
Put "Sonic The Hedgehog (NES) Improvement V1.0 + Music Hack.nes" into folder, and run build.bat to create a new ROM "Sonic_The_Hedgehog_(NES)_Improvement_V1.0_+_Music_Hack_NEW.nes"
cpu: $8000-$9FFF is a driver/sfx/some common sequences, $A000-BFFF banks with music tracks (see for lines : .PAD $C000,$FF
.base $A000 - this split into other bank) - one track must not be in different banks.
As I remember only "initial bank" works, and others are ignored.
So, after export from famitracker, you split tracks between 8kb banks, and adjust initial bank # (first = $20).
The sound effects/engine:
My own, plays registers values with some sort of compression, uses only 6 bytes.
Some of sfx I took from other games.
Open drv.asm and find " sound0: " to edit. (line 3681)
sound0 hardcoded to triangle, and sound8 to noise, others uses pulse2 (see line 3475 to edit)
You can dump apu registers with this script for Fceux:
Spoiler
f = io.open ("regs.txt", "wb+");
i = 0;
io.output(f)
while (i<30) do
a = memory.readbyte(0x4000+4);
b = memory.readbyte(0x4001+4);
c = memory.readbyte(0x4002+4);
d = memory.readbyte(0x4003+4);
io.write (a);io.write (',');
io.write (b);io.write (',');
io.write (c);io.write (',');
io.write (d);io.write (',');
FCEU.frameadvance();
i=i+1;
end;
io.close (f);
The ram adresses used by ftm driver are $700-$7FF, and several other ZP values described in the beginning of drv.asm file. Make sure that this variables are not used by other hacks.
While I agree with crediting Sega by displaying their logo in a boot up splash screen, I also think a logo for Hummer Team should folow it.
Somari is a sloppy mess, no doubt about it. But all of Somari's code and engine had to developed from scratch at a time when NES development wasn't common for unlicensed devs.
I just think that Hummer Team should also feature if possible.
A Sega Logo Screen, Will Make THE STAFF AT Sega and Sonic Team Relized That They Discovered An Amazing Homebrew Port For Sonic The Hedgehog On The Nintendo Entertainment System! Forget The Hummer Team Logo, a Sega Logo and a Sonic Team Presents Screen Will Make This Game Look Even More Better Than Before! Also... I Can't Wait To Hear Some Audio Improvements, Repositioned Enemies, The New Graphics For All Of The Zones, and Tons More Once This Game Is 100% Complete! WHAT??? This Game Is Evolving... This NES Game Has Evolved To a Homebrew Game!
Anyone Who Has Contact With Sega, Takashi Ezuka, The Leader Of Sonic Team, and/or Nintendo Must Look At This Game and See It For Themselves Cause This Game Will One Day Save Sonic's Franchise! :angel:
If I am completely honest, far from being more motivated to continue I am terrified, I never thought that this project would attract Ti' attention :o
For that reason, although I understand how all the possibilities that your contribution provides, being this my first project of this magnitude, I have many questions hanging around in my head at this moment, without forgetting the fact that I am still alone, distributing my time to perform all the tasks that I was considering necessary.
That's why I ask for some patience so that I can organize my ideas, so any help, advice or idea about the future of the project is welcome, thank you very much! :thumbsup:
Note: I apologize for not having responded to the messages in the usual way, I am completely blocked :D
How's The Progress On This Game, Sics? :)

It's extremely unlikely Sega is aware of this graphical and gameplay improvement project for Somari, and contacting them about it is a very bad idea. ROM hacks are in a sort of legal gray area. Some companies are cool with it, some see it as missing with their property and may even try to mount a C&D. Nintendo is particularly awful about this.
It's best to leave big companies out of fan made content like this. As you saw, it makes the creators nervous when people bring something like that up.
Point Taken... SORRY!
Never Mind About The Contacting Thing... Sorry About That! I'll Be More Careful! I Hope There's More Previews on Sonic's Upcoming NES Improvement Coming Soon!
Yeah. We all want the best for the project. Some devs are cool about fan made content and it's awesome when they are. But some see it as unauthorized use of their properties, their code, their engines, etc. That's why it's always best to not seek approval or recognition. We're not profiting off any of this and as long as that remains the case, we're in the legal clear.
Waiting patiently for this hack :)
The only thing that SEGA owns in this game is the IP, the music, some of the sprites (like the rings because those I believe were ripped from the actual Sonic 1) and possibly portions of the source code. The rest was coded (or ported) by Hummer Team. Still isn't a good idea at all to tell SEGA, I just wanted to put this out there.
Do not worry, I'm just reloading HP (Not the printer :laugh:)
I was suffocating to have to update this publication only to repeatedly answer the same, I always hated to ignore people, but some forget that the time I spend answering those questions in a language that I find hard to write, is time I lose to work in the hack.
It hurts me a lot, that everything has coincided with the publication Ti_, I always admired his work and I really wanted to ask him some questions about his hack :-\
That is why before continuing, people must understand that I am alone, that my time is limited and above all that I have responsibilities to fulfill before the hack, it is not logical to assume I will be able to do everything they want me to do just for propose it to me.
And yes, I know that you may think that the problem is that I must look for more people to achieve the hack that everyone expects, but honestly I never looked for such a thing. My goals are simple, I just want others to see the same thing that I saw in this game when I was little, for that reason:
● He believes he can contribute something, he is invited to do so.
● Whoever wishes to work with me, is invited to do so.
● If you want to work in a parallel hack version, you only have to ask for a copy of the project.
● When I encounter a problem that I can not solve, I will always ask for help.
I only ask that they give me space to grow, that they also listen to my opinion and, above all, that they accept my limitations.

At the moment it does not seem logical to work on the screens of introduction of the game, before that I want to solve other things that I consider more important, but if I decided to do it in the future, I guess I would choose to make both versions (Hummer Team and Sonic Team) (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pw9-ea394d21-b744-4318-afdc-a34b90a0abfc.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3OS1lYTM5NGQyMS1iNzQ0LTQzMTgtYWZkYy1hMzRiOTBhMGFiZmMuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.-hJh6WuwK0JYoeFn8rGJ-07ROlDznM05S-xhLTy-LLY)

Have you seen the homebrew Sonic NES game Espitene (http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=18283)?
It seems to be a newer version of Sonic Mal included in a multicart (http://www.mojontwins.com/juegos_mojonos/mojon-twins-gran-sabiduria-31-in-1-real-game-nes/). Here's a screenshot (http://www.mojontwins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/multicart-004.jpg). There's a rip of Sonic Mal (https://mega.nz/#!80lyGKbI!mOM3W4lsPcdwdOXCBlsHYGtO5MEGA471NA0IPg2jZKw) where it's just the singular game but the levels are different and it might have been modified for a Plug N' Play console.
That homebrew seems quite interesting, but it isn't nearly as impressive or as complex as this romhack of somari. However, how it relates to this topic other than loosely resembling sonic on nes eludes me
Any new update to this project?
The Progress Is Doing Great...
Amazing project!!!!!!! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
I hope you can finish. :thumbsup:
Hey Sics, I Know Your Still Relaxing or Thinking Of Something To Make Sonic On The Nintendo Entertainment System Look Even More Better Than Before... But I Was Wondering If You Have Any Previews Or Any Mockups That You Made For Either Green Hill Zone, Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, Labyrinth Zone, Star Light Zone, (Expect For Scrap Brain Zone Since It's Still Not Part Of The Project) Final Zone, Special Stage, Or For The Entire Game... Sorry If I Got Carried Away But I'm Just Curious...
Also, I Heard That You Were Curious About How I Created The 8-Bit SEGA CD Startup Which Also Features Sonic's Finger Wag... If You Really Want To Know, Then I Guess It's Time For... The Making Of SEGA CD - Sonic's Finger Wag (8-BIT)! I'm Not Able To Show You Images But I Can Tell You How This Was Possible!
1. I First Use Paint 3D To Resize The Screen To The 256 x 240, Then I Color The Background To Black and Used The Sonic Pocket Adventure Fonts.
2. Next, I Add In Sonic's Finger Wag and The Sega Logo.
3. Then I Use An Online Sprite Editor Called "Piksel" And I Design The Sprites, Animations, and Other Stuff!
And That's How I Created The SEGA CD - Sonic's Finger Wag (8-BIT)! ;)
how is the Sonic 5 project going

^This.
I haven't said anything for politeness' sake but everything said here has been bothering me a concerning amount. At least wait until sics comes back and stop bumping the thread for the love of god
I hate to break it to you, but getting angry at people who are calling you out for misbehaving isn't a good look.
Projects die all the time, even ones that get officially announced and are a decent way through development. If sics comes back and finishes this, cool. If not, oh well.
And always remember that you can learn hacking yourself, and eventually put out something just as good as this, if not better!
Note: Posts were deleted from this thread because one or more users were asking for updates, which is against the Rules of Thumb of this forum.
Quote The truth I do not know if the project is dead or not, what I do know is that persistent attitudes like that are what were wearing down my desire to continue.
I confess that I took a break because I tried not to be hard, since I always put the good things of people above everything else, but really this situation is suffocating me.
It is boring to have to repeat the same thing always, to feel obliged to comment on even the most inconsequential updates, wasting an important part of my time, and above all, feeling that my opinion is the least important in some cases.
I clarify that I am not angry in any way with you and you will always have a space here to share your ideas, but I think it is necessary for you to understand that the people who carry out this type of project are normal humans, with obligations, responsibilities etc, etc, etc...

Of course, it's great, I even considered making a graphic hack of the first version of that homebrew :beer:
Note: The independent version of the game only works in (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1614/f/2019/087/8/c/download_by_terwilf-dd39bcf.gif) Jnes (http://www.emucr.com/2017/01/jnes-v121.html), I recommend to try it. Gastronomicon
Actually although at first glance it may seem like a simple game, on a technical level it is quite interesting, since it not only adapts many of the characteristics of the original game, but it also uses a surprising amount of graphic tricks (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwr-3cc43cc0-8b5a-4e8e-8131-1f7fac3d9261.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3ci0zY2M0M2NjMC04YjVhLTRlOGUtODEzMS0xZjdmYWMzZDkyNjEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.oZgOQlQeSpeXZC-mmQFRFSAic6qeVIbgXP-ptEgSCVo)

Nothing new around here (I do not want to continue answering questions of that type, thank you very much)

Actually I could not relax and less continue :P
Note: Although Piksel can work for small projects, I recommend using programs such as Photoshop for coloring the graphics and Firework for animation, since it is much more practical to work with offline programs :thumbsup:

hey sics...
I'm real sorry that i kept on acting impatient, it's because i thought that the project was cancelled, but it isn't and i'm glad you're back... Besides, After All That Work You've Done For Sonic, I Even Thought That Things Weren't Gonna Be The Same Without You, and You're By Far The Best Romhacker I've Seen All Day and I Hope That The Project Is Finished Very Soon. :angel:
The truth is that currently I have no plans to continue with the project and is that the truth I'm almost sure that you have not understood what I wanted to say.
First of all, the only reason why I decided to post again in this forum was because I wanted to avoid people ending up making you feel bad, for things that I should have talked to you from the beginning.
That is why he must understand that just as you manage to motivate others and provide interesting proposals, you tend to have a very invasive and sometimes even intolerant attitude towards the ideas of others and that in the long term ends up being exhausting.
And no, this attitude is not something new, it is only necessary to examine your previous publications and you will be able to realize that 34 of the 44 comments that you made in this forum are directed to this project, and this without taking into account the messages that you have sent to through other means.
Of course, being fair, I must clarify that you are not the only "insistent" person I have had to deal with at the present time, but this type of thing turns out to be what turns a hobby that has everything to be fun in a stressful job more and nobody with common sense wants to work in those terms.
Conclusion: You are a nice person, I value your participation in the project, and I also think that you have a great talent, but I do not want to feel pressured by anyone, nor do I think it is normal that I have to inform you so frequently about "current status of this project "And above all I would need you to understand the negative responses as such and not as something that if you push hard enough you will end up getting it.
I am not angry with you, I do not blame you for anything, much less demand that you offer me an apology, I understand that we all carry our own shortcomings and of course I am not the exception to this rule, for that reason I felt that the most sensible thing was to take distance before speaking, so as not to be influenced by the situation I was living in, I regret that this was not possible, so I apologize if my words are too hard, a hug and I hope that something positive can emerge from all this.
Sincerely He-man

@Sics
thank you for all the effort, enthusiasm and work done in one of the best projects for Famicom / Nes to date, especially to the followers of Sonic the hedgehog :thumbsup:
It's sad, but it's a good choice, this is a hobby to have fun creating, improving games and you have to always enjoy it
Greetings Sics :woot!:
:(
I still hope that this will end, but it is better that you take your time or do it in secret.
I hope you can come back.
Have a good time :beer:
I emailed Sic about releasing what he's already made but he hasn't replied. I do have a version of this ROM hack from when he was working on changing the underwater air supply timer but I'd like some feedback on if I should release it. On one hand it's good and lots of people were interested in it and people might work to finish it, but on the other Sic probably would have released it himself if he wanted it out there. I don't want to be scummy about it.
I've got a very late version myself, though I'm not sure if it's newer than yours.
My username is "sics" not "Sic", I think you sent the message to someone else, sorry :-\
About what you mention, I have the desire to continue, but currently I do not have enough time to do it, so I am willing to share my work with anyone who wants to continue it, but I would prefer to give it to that person only, even if it sounds silly I would like to respect the vote that there was regarding that.
On the other hand, in reality there is nothing left to do, just missing:
■ Re-map the Star Light and Final Zone graphics (adding the missing objects).
■ Repair the tour of Labyrinth and Star Light.
■ Reposition some enemies.
And in addition I thought to reorganize the animations of Sonic, and to align them again, but although I found everything necessary, I did not know how to find the hitbox of the character.
- Thanks to others who commented :thumbsup:
I understand that you have little time to work on this awesome hack,I DO hope that someone picks it up and finishes it? :)

Honestly, I'd love to test this!
I actually own a softmodded Wii, so I can see if there's any issues with the game when played on FCEUX GX for Wii.
I also have a TON of time on my hands, seeing as I have 6 weeks of free time to kill, I can see if I can attempt to see where enemy placement is located. I think it's healthy to take a break and let other people take the reins for a bit.
Both this hack, and the original game, do not work correctly in FCEUX, since this ROM requires precision emulators to run properly, anyway the problems presented by this game in this emulator are almost imperceptible and quite difficult to reproduce.
About the position of the enemies is very easy to find, they are always located at the end of the level data, they are read with the following format.
01 Level objects
60 Obj-Axis X
0E X axis block coordinate
70 Obj-Axis y

Hello SuperStarFox, I have no new material to present, I'm currently busy, but it's good to read you back(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd3k2jx-034cb7db-edac-47ca-9c4e-ccd5329f648b.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzazJqeC0wMzRjYjdkYi1lZGFjLTQ3Y2EtOWM0ZS1jY2Q1MzI5ZjY0OGIuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.fcISHL-YbxhxILOpZzuGjaH8lm7HmIsTFoTAsJeV11M)
Any Alternative Graphics Added To This Project Yet?
The Grass Tileset In Marble Zone Could Use Some Improvements, Not The Background, The Floor Tileset.
In One Of Sonic's Sprites, Sonic's Mouth Shouldn't Be Shown When He's Running, Standing, Looking Up, Looking Down, Or When He's Jumps On A Spring.
How Goes Those Graphics For Star Light Zone And Final Zone?
The Sonic 5 project is in standby or on hold until further notice from its developer Sics
It is a hard and heavy development to improve both content only a person without help or support

Currently I have only continued working on the graphics, since the volume of the project does not allow me to easily resume it, there is a lot of data that I must reinterpret and I honestly do not find the occasion to do so (https://orig00.deviantart.net/972b/f/2019/087/3/e/nono_by_terwilf-dd38dxp.gif).
Regarding the grass of Marble Zone, I did hundreds of tests looking for alternative graphics that adapted correctly to that area, but in general these graphics were reducing visibility in certain sectors of the level.
Speaking of graphics, I don't understand the decision to restore the design of the temple roof, not only does the current version have more sprites, but it is practically a copy of the Megadrive version (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif).

Sonic's mouth again ? When the continuity of the project is so compromised, I think there are more interesting topics to talk about (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwv-d97dcc9b-6efd-43dd-b1b3-98e8e2b011e1.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3di1kOTdkY2M5Yi02ZWZkLTQzZGQtYjFiMy05OGU4ZTJiMDExZTEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.QpoRHrdkXw9EaFPlJQ92z6KlWQeKYl1SxkD2QOfqbpA).
■ In Star Light Zone I have moved some things, retouched several graphics and worked to improve the background, but I am not happy with some things (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif).
■ In Final Zone I only arranged the Eggman design (https://orig00.deviantart.net/b937/f/2019/087/7/0/bounce_by_terwilf-dd38dpn.gif).
On the other hand the project is not working well, I just try to continue because of my obstinacy of seeing it finished, but the conditions in which I work are terrible, anyway thanks for supporting me :thumbsup: .
Note: I think it would be best to pretend that the project has been canceled, in this way you can avoid uncertainty and at the same time enjoy if there is an update.

I'm kinda new here but I don't see anyone asking this. What's holding Sics back from releasing the current WIP patch. So the community could try it out, maybe find and/or fix some bugs or go even further and help with the development?
No to be rude here, just curious. Been lurking this forum since forever. :angel:
the project is temporarily or indefinitely stopped for now
any news will be communicated by the chief developer of the Sics project
thanks for asking about the status of the project.
Watch out for the thread in case news is published.
regards :woot!:
Now call me a lurker if you must... but I couldn't help overhearing discorse over Marble Zone's art so I went to MS Paint and whipped something up.
*Slams heavy screenshot onto thread* I went with the green-ish stuff over the grey because it's a little closer to the genesis/mega drive game.

Chief developer? Even I felt important, the project not only continues, but every time it is lacking less it to be able to publish it. (Relatively) :laugh:

I suppose that Cartridge_rom it refers to which at present I have not so much free time as earlier therefore the development of the hack is slower.

On the other hand, I prefer to reserve the last updates for the final version. but he must know that I have been liberating some demos of the game in the past, although regrettably I have not preserved any (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
Moreover, this hack is based on the Improvement + Music version and any modifications developed for this hack can be integrated into this without much difficulty :thumbsup:
With regard to issue of Marble Zone, I chose gray tones to avoid eye strain caused by the lack of contrasting colors with the environment in general, besides that this palette is best complemented in the underground sector.
Anyway I can add an extra patch with this coloration :D
About the "
disagreement", in fact it was interested in understanding better the SuperStarFox proposal, since I respect its vision like artist.
So you should always keep in mind that what I write comes from a machine translation service, so it is not surprising that ends up sounding like an old man who slept badly (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwv-d97dcc9b-6efd-43dd-b1b3-98e8e2b011e1.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3di1kOTdkY2M5Yi02ZWZkLTQzZGQtYjFiMy05OGU4ZTJiMDExZTEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.QpoRHrdkXw9EaFPlJQ92z6KlWQeKYl1SxkD2QOfqbpA)

Three interesting things to comment on the project; ■ I found the sector that is responsible for establishing the proportions of each level (among other things), what practically already he would enable to be able to personalize completely the levels. (I will not design levels ::) )
■ At the same time I verified Scrap Brain Zone it was discarded in a very early stage of development of the port, since instead of having a space defined for the level information, it re-uses the information of Special Stage. Also on having established the necessary conditions so that the final enemy executes in this level the game crashea.
■ On the other hand I discovered what is causing the problem of the ring of the looping, the hitbox of Sonic only covers half of the character, so it never gets to touches some rings. but unfortunately I lack knowledge to find these data to solve the problem.

If you understand the reference to this capture you get a copy of the version I'm developing. Solution: Based on the 2016 capture of Techokami (https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?threads/sonic-the-hedgehog-nes-improvement.36217/#post-877578), one who best summarized the problems of this game.
That looks sick!
First Of All, I Understand That The One Ring In The Loops Isn't Fixed Yet... Second Of All, I Understand That Star Light Zone Will Take Time In Order To Look Good... Thirdly, I Understand That You Chose Gray So That Marble Zone Wouldn't Be All Green And A Bit Of Some Pain In The Eyes... And Finally, I Understand Everything About Everything You Said.

sics, What Do You Mean By "Powerful"? :huh:
For this reason?
● Although not a level editor itself, facilitates incredibly the task of designing scenarios.
● To transfer the information of the level to the game, I export an snapshot with "Tiled" and turn it into text with "FreeOcr".

As you know I recently discovered Tiled tool, a mosaic editor very flexible and powerful, with this I improvised a very practical level editor.

Unfortunately it is not yet clear to me how to edit scenarios with special features, such as loops and steep ramps.
But I have spent these last days comparing Somari's game to Doraemon's, because of this I have discovered many interesting things, which I will talk about in detail later.

Another drawback is at the time of repositioning enemies, because for all items loaded correctly, the object list must have a specific order, which I have not been able to understand which criteria it responds to (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif)
At the moment when I encounter this problem, I only I reorganize the list successively until it works properly, but it is not practical for several reasons and the main one is that I have to check the whole level manually for each change I make (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)

Quoteinstead of having a space defined for the level information, Scrap Brain Zone re-uses the information of Special Stage
Does this mean it won't be possible to re-implement Scrap Brain Zone? Or is it possible to make the game access a different area of the ROM when loading the stage? If it is possible, then Scrap Brain Zone's data could potentially be inserted into an unused portion of the ROM.
Sics, Not Only Did You Just Improve Everything In This Game... (And I Still Wonder What Happen To The Title Screen You Planned On Improving Now?) But You Literally Just Made This Rom-Hack Look Even More Better! I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THIS ROM-HACK WHEN YOU RELEASE IT...!!!
Also, While You Were Testing This Game... Did You Run Into This Weird Looking Glitch In The Final Zone?

Technically arguably the opposite, because even though the header of the level does not point to any useful place, this is present, so I'm sure someone with more knowledge can achieve something interesting with all the information collected.

I did a lot of testing on the title screen and even studied other versions of the hummers, but my conclusion is that in the current situation, my prototype is not suitable for this game. However, I do not rule out the creation of a new model, but I make it clear that if this is the case I will do so long after the publication of the hack.

If you request an additional bran file, unfortunately it is a very difficult error to reproduce, to get to save this game, I spent about two months trying, Thank you very much for your time! :thumbsup:
I am able to download your file. What I meant is I don't know what hack do I need to open. What the hell is Eggman Final - Sonic por fallar? Or everybody here knows what it is except me?
I need another save from "Final zone" screen or something. Not sure if I gonna actually need it later, but still. And I won't play this game to the end myself to get it.
Is a state file Fcuex (fcs), to be used with the game "Sonic the Hedgehog (NES) - Improvement Plus Tracks". Available in SonicRetro (https://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(NES)_-_Improvement_Plus_Tracks) :thumbsup:
Sorry for the confusion, English is not my mother tongue (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
It appears that there is some garbage at $00D0-$00DF, you might wanna clear it up when you enter that room
Is there any way to erase those data when they are not needed? Honestly I lack the skills needed to achieve this goal on my own :-\
There are lots of ways actually. For example when the game sets timer to zero, check for room number and zero out those addresses as well.
The more you know about the game, the better you can choose a place to attach your code.
I'm too far away to get things like that. When this project is finished, I hope to read your course :thumbsup:
I still hope you'd be able to replace the Genesis Special Stage music with the Master System/Game Gear Special Stage music.
Ummm, NES Boy... I'm Not So Sure If Sics Is Gonna Try To Replace The Special Stage Music With The Game Gear/Master System Special Stage. But I'd Love To See That Happen.
BTW Sics, I Saw Your Latest Video About The Evolution Of Sonic The Hedgehog's Title Screen From The NES Version... I Don't Know What You Did With The Last One But Whatever You're Doing, Keep Up The Good Work.
Hi I'm looking for people who are interested in making videos of this hack to help you make it known :thumbsup:
"If you have a Youtube channel with 30 subscribers or more, you can contact me by private message to get an early copy of the hack"
On the other hand, in no way will you be obliged to speak well of this job, nor in a kind way, just be you and say what you think(https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)
Something I would like to urge others is that try to test more than one zone of the game, even if it is through the level selector (https://orig00.deviantart.net/b937/f/2019/087/7/0/bounce_by_terwilf-dd38dpn.gif)
Happy Holidays! :beer:

Unfortunately to accomplish this task, I need musical notions which I currently lack.
Anyway I am convinced of the result of my work and I also know that the evolution of this game will not end when this project is completed.
The SomariEngine is an amazing engine and the game still has much room for improvement.

It's good you to ask, the new version version of the title screen has internal and external changes.
I stylized Sonic's design, retouching some sectors to better take advantage of the background color, changing things like the relief on his hand for example.
I removed the surpluses from the second color layer and rearranged its graphics tiles, for easy editing in the future.

I really like the new version! :thumbsup:
Can't wait to play this, don't make us wait too long! ;D
Great to hear this project is still alive and kicking. I hope all the work pays off because you've really done a good job on this. I'm glad that you've been getting better, and that progress has been going well. And of course, Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy your holidays.
I would like to test the game and I could make a kind of gameplay-impressions video
Oh my, ok it seems I randomly became unnotified and I thought this project was dead- it's great to see it's still going

Thank you, I see that you has been renewed, I hope this change brings good things :thumbsup:

You weren't so misinformed, it was a difficult time, but I decided to put an end when they started sending me messages from this project to my private social networks, luckily it all ended well and I'm back here.
On your other question, you can always check the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)readme (https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/nes/patches/3208readme.txt) of the original Improvement version, anyway the trick is as follows:

On the other hand for this new version I created a (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1614/f/2019/087/8/c/download_by_terwilf-dd39bcf.gif) patch (https://mega.nz/#!nIwmwKIA!zAIcSfHTulpdIlQU96r8jjO2ybEgBFKxxjpNHVOT7Wo) that simplifies this trick for those who do not want to complicate their lives, changing the code for:

The truth has already been worth it, it was a very enriching experience, and although it had difficult times, it helped me to grow a lot.
One of the hardest things for me was to understand that I'm not obligated to have all the answers or to realize that my opinion was also important.
Merry Christmas to you all and a prosperous new year!!! :beer:
Hey Sics... How's The Progress Coming Along? :thumbsup:
Thanks to (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)Ramzet's live (https://youtu.be/0P8UTZ5KDZw) :beer: , I found a lot of things that could be improved, including:
• Remove broken secret passageways in Marble Zone (Used them to facilitate the development of the hack)
• Continue repositioning of enemies and items, mainly in Spring Yard, Labyrinth, and Star Light.
• Increase Sonic Oxygen Duration (Alternative Patch)
• The bubble generator block will be removed (Alternative Patch)
• The Spring Yard Act 3 is significantly modified, not more blind alleys.
• Graphics were rearranged to prevent multiple corrupt sprites.

In the version with Somari:
• Fixed the end screen of the level, now it says: "Somari Has Passed".
• Added Somari sign (Original Graphics)
• The Somari icon is modified to match the "improvement" style.

• Some graphic aspects of "The Hummer Complete" were retouched.
• He continues to wait for the video for "Cody The Fox", wink, wink :laugh:
I must mention that after this I decided to take a break, so I left the survey above. I would also like to thank Ramzet for trying this hack, your opinion was very helpful!!! :thumbsup:
Note: The operation of the continues were programmed that way by the Hummer Team, being such a short game I think it makes sense to do so.
First Off... I Like How Did Some Improvements On Somari's Version And I Hope To See Some More Improvements On Somari And Hummer's Version! Also, Are U Planning On Doing An Improvement On "Family Kid"? :huh:
P.S. I Was Planning On Doing A YouTube Video On Sonic 5 Vol. 2 NES, But Due To COPPA's Effect On YouTube... I'm Worried That I Might Get A $42,000 Fine, But I'll See What I Can Do! :( :)
Regarding for the Somari Improvement version, I can't think of any more to add it, so in any case I hear ideas ;)
On the other hand I honestly don't think "Family Kid" is a game that has a lot to offer, but if it makes you happy I guess I can do it(https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)

Finally, I am spending some time away from the project, as I was so familiar with everything, that I unconsciously ignored many things that could be improved, a hug :beer:

I love the progress you've made so far! It's good that you're taking a break, I've done many projects like this before and I know how stressful they can be :(
I tried Family Kid - Extraction Beta a while ago and I dig the black and red, it's pretty cool. ;) :cookie:

Thank you very much! :beer:
I'm working on the lower versions of the project, closing some gaps, correcting the most typical errors that cause the game to freeze and retouch the graphics with lazy finishes, of them highlights the new title screen of " Family Kid" :thumbsup:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/ddr1zhx-0d9d2f1b-a8d4-45bb-8d86-e1e6fec7c865.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGRyMXpoeC0wZDlkMmYxYi1hOGQ0LTQ1YmItOGQ4Ni1lMWU2ZmVjN2M4NjUuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.7QWxCsLOryebO8p_n2vSJkXHsg7P4ZIosneNmVdfLmY)
I know, it's a pretty useless effort, but I feel bad to share something that doesn't convince me :D
I did an update of sound driver, you may want to include in Vol2.
Changes:
+ Fixed some bug with pulse2 channel after sfx played.
+ Optimization:
Removed code that not used by Sonic_1_OST songs, such as instruments, tremolo, arpeggio,
and other unused effects.
Memory usage reduced from 256 to 128 bytes: area $700-$77F. (Area $780 - $7FD now unused).
ZP memory used only $FB-$FF. (in previous version was used: $5C,$5D, $61,$62,
$67,$68, $6A,$6B, $7E, $87, $8D, $F4-$F7, $F9,$FA - now you can use it for your purposes).
Reduced CPU usage.
Here's the source:
https://yadi.sk/d/C8Nvyx_ds4ygqQ
( put file "Sonic The Hedgehog (NES) Improvement V1.0 + Music Hack.nes" into folder and run build.bat )
Maybe you also want to make SFX that sounds more close to MD version,
then ask someone to create it in famitracker or any other editor or any rom. And after send it to me - I will convert to driver sfx format. The only limitation is to use single channel: pulse2 (square2), trianle or noise.
That would be an awesome improvement. :o
Hope to see future updates from this.

With this new opportunity to improve the SFX I know what many will say, so in advance it is necessary to clarify that Amilgi is not active in the forum since March 2019, so I take the opportunity to formally extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in participate in this new challenge.

By the way, I'm pretty sure i'd read of your previous work with the music engine of this game, but unfortunately your nick is almost impossible to find on the net, so I'd like to consult, if you have any place where you talk about this or any of your projects? :thumbsup:
The Progress On Family Kid Looks Very Promising... :)
The Changes On Somari Looks Great... :)
I Didn't Know That Hummer Had A Game Of His Own... :huh:
And I Like How The Progress On Sonic For The NES Is Going... Keep It Up! :)
Already request the publication of the first version of the hack, to accompany all those people who must stay in their homes, I lacked some small details, but it is not time to think about that, I wish them good health :thumbsup:
On the other hand I have further reinforced the lower versions of the hack, fixing palettes, animations and making the scenarios more solid.

On the other hand, I have a lot of information to collect that could be useful for those who have an interest in making future hacks of this game, but I will do this when things are calmer :beer:

Excuse me sics, but what do you mean Sonic 5 Vol. 2 is finished? :huh:

Disculpe sics, pero ¿qué quiere decir Sonic 5 Vol. 2 está terminado?
Quote from: Cody The Fox on March 24, 2020, 05:10:46 AMbut what do you mean Sonic 5 Vol. 2 is finished? :huh:
I'm not sics, the hack was submitted a couple days ago, but it's not in the queue or in the hacks section, which means that it was rejected.
Yes, it is that I confused the concepts between author and collaborator, so they ended up thinking that this hack was an update of the FuriousHedgehog project, I already sent a new request correcting this detail.
What happens is that I honestly never felt like I owned this project, sorry for the inconvenience ::)
On the other hand I consider this project finished because I already achieved all the objectives that I set myself when I started it, so everything that follows after this, is no longer a necessity but an extra :thumbsup:
(English Version)
Sics, you did an amazing job... after all that work you've done... I have to say "you're the best rom-hacker ever". I can't wait to play the new and improved version of sonic the hedgehog for the nes.
(Spanish Version)
Sics, hiciste un trabajo increíble ... después de todo ese trabajo que has hecho ... Tengo que decir "eres el mejor pirata informático de rom". No puedo esperar para jugar la nueva y mejorada versión de Sonic the Hedgehog para los nes.
Great news!
I will play this soon.
I can't wait for it to be on the site. Your ideas are pretty good. Even there were moments: "and the similarity of the older console that is."
You've done a lot of work on it :beer:
I hope the Special Stages in this improvement actually uses the Master System/Game Gear music rather than the Genesis music.
Congrats on completing your project sics!!! :beer:
I made a front box and cart label in anticipation of the hack. Maybe I'll finish a full printable box.

Hola Sics! He estado jugando la versión 1.0 hoy. Tenía una sugerencia
Los enemigos que disparan proyectiles a Sonic son demasiados, y los disparos tienden a venir desde fuera de la vista del jugador. Esto es algo común en plataformas mal hechas de los años 90.
Yo diría que cambie un poco la posición de los enemigos, para que Sonic no sea atacado por ellos, sin tener tiempo para reaccionar al ataque que se le presente.
Tal vez tú
no puedes cambiar la posición del enemigo, o ya arreglaste cosas como esta en la versión 2.0. Supongo que tendré que esperar y ver.
Aparte de esto, excelente trabajo! Esto es exactamente lo que debería ser un juego de Sonic en NES.
English version:
Spoiler
Hey Sics! I've been playing version 1.0 today. I had a suggestion.
The enemies which shoot projectiles at Sonic are too many, and the shots tend to come from outside of the player's view. This is a common thing in badly-made platformers of the 90s.
I would say, change the positioning of the enemies somewhat, so that Sonic is not being attacked by them, without having any time to react to the attack as it comes towards him.
Maybe you
aren't able to change enemy positioning, or you already fixed stuff like this in version 2.0. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Other than this, excellent work! This is exactly what a Sonic game on the NES ought to be.
Spooniest, Wait a bit. Soon there will be this updated hack on the site. He is also in line
No!!! my whole answer was erased :o
In short, Thank you very much for the messages of support!!! :beer:
Yes, the enemies have been partially edited, because at the moment there are some details that prevent me from making great modifications. hopefully in the future you can do an update just of that :D
Nop, there is no new music in this hack, remember that I am not a composer, although the update of the music engine of Ti_ sounds great! 8)

Your translation is excused. I don't know a bloody word of Spanish, myself.
However if you are bored, the name of the enemy is "Cater-killer," not a "Crater-Killer."
There is an insect called a caterpillar. It is what asks Alice to recite a poem, in Alice In Wonderland.
So, the name of the enemy is a pun, instead of a "Caterpillar," it is a "Cater-killer."
Because it kills you. :) And yes, they are evil little bastards. :beer:

Oh the "Improvement Vol 2." part uses the same typeface font as the original Japanese did on the original since I managed to locate it.
I actually remade each component in vector rather than just using a scan, so it can be scaled proper to print sizes and whatnot.
I'm sorry for my ignorance but you can explain these two options to me:
STH - Block Extra animatios.ips
Menu Code - Select (Others).ips
Are they not already included in vol. 2?
Sorry, the project has a temporary readme:
STH - Block Extra animatios: It was made to order, removes all extra animations from the backgrounds, such as clouds and diamonds in Marble zone, for example.
Menu Code - Select (Others): It was also made to order, simplifies the trick of the zone selection menu at the press of the select button.
As soon as possible I will add an update to it, I am currently complicated, sorry :thumbsup:
If someone who has followed this project wishes to volunteer to help in this regard, I would greatly appreciate it (https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)

Spooniest Oh, interesting :thumbsup:
I havent played yet, but I read about a guy who play it and said nearly the exact same thing Spooniest said.
Enemies are hard to avoid because as soon as they are on screen they already attacked you.
Just leaving this as feedback if an update is in your mind.
Congrats on the release.
Hi Sics... Congrats on the rom finished!
Just to understand.... the final rom, not yet with Sonic or I'm doing something stupid? :banghead: Lol
I'd used first this ips Somari to Somari (As)
Now I had applied all others (some have 2 options) and now Mario changed to the Family Kid
Thanks,

I've played up to Spring Yard Act 1 so far, and I like the visual tweaks you've done so far! It's looking very good. However, a lot of the underlying problems of the game are still there. If you have any ability to adjust the game physics, or enemy behaviour, then I have the following suggestions:
- Tweak Sonic's movement a bit. Right now, there are points where if he has any momentum, he will move at full speed even if you release the d-pad, and he will unpredictably accelerate rapidly in the air if you try to steer his jump, or will creep along at a snail's pace another time. It's inconsistent, and for a game that seems designed around precision jumps, this leads to a lot of deaths.
- Change the behaviour of buzz bombers and crabmeat badniks so that they don't fire their shots as soon as they scroll on screen (or so they don't fire as often), and/or slow down the speed of their bullets to give you more reaction time. This is part of the imprecise controls from before, because as it is right now, you can often end up running right into a bullet you could not have known was coming without memorizing enemy placement, and even if you knew it was coming, the loose controls mean you sometimes can't react the way you need to.
Even if the former suggestion won't work, tweaking the timing/speed of shots coming from badniks would go a long way to relieving frustrations with the game. You've done an excellent job of this so far, and it's definitely a much more enjoyable experience than it was before! Keep up the good work!

G30FF as you'd said , you played with Sonic...
What do I need to get Sonic instead of Family Kid or Mario? I had applied all ips (message above yours)
Tks,
Nelson
Sonic improvement has too many changes to be presented in IPS, it is distributed in xdelta.
At this time I can not answer the other queries I am on the street sorry for the inconveniente :thumbsup:
Congrats on the release, sics. I'm gonna give it a spin later om tonight. :beer:

There is a program you can get, in the "Utilities" section of RHDN, called
xdelta UI
Made by KaioShin, one of the founding members of RHDN.
It's a simple program. It will ask you for the .xdelta patch file, the file you want to modify (Somari), and then ask you to name the new file which will be produced when you combine them.
You don't actually have to use any of the other files, to make it Sonic Improvement. Just Sonic Improvement 2.0.xdelta.
I hope this helps you.

sics ¡Mucho mejor! This is a lot more consistent, and the music sounds perfect. I am not having as much trouble with running into enemy shots as with Version 1, but I feel it's still too much. Also, the Buzz Bombers are way too high on the screen. I can't reach them with Sonic's jump. I don't know the details of it, but I agree, perhaps making them a little less "Gatillo fácil" (trigger-happy) would help.
The problem is that Sonic is made to go fast. If a shot is already being fired at me before I can see it, I will run into it. Making shots come at me like it's a Gradius game doesn't feel right for a Sonic game. Most of the time I played (Up to Spring Yard Act 2) was spent either dodging Buzz Bomber and Krabmeat shots, or (In Marble Zone) trying to figure out which way I was going ( :D Heh).
I do have to say that the levels are kind of long, and they feel that way because I can tell that certain sections are being re-used again and again. Maybe it needs some of the fat trimmed out, I would say, but from everything I can tell you've done, this might be a big job, so for now I will say what I came here to say:
Even with these issues, I still feel that this slaps the Master System version in the face. If this had come out in 1992, when the NES was still just barely alive, it would have been a hit. I don't think Yuji Naka himself could have done a whole lot better. You get a cookie. :cookie:
Made a full printable box for whenever I get around to making a repro of this. I did get a chance to play the hack today and it is significantly improved indeed! I understand the enemy patterns and placements aren't perfect but modifying that would probably require way more complicated modification so I get why that can't be fixed.
(https://i.imgur.com/m8sGuif.png)
Wow, I did a basic playthrough. More than anything, it was actually fun. The original Somari is pretty dumpy and unpleasant to play but you've polished it into a legitimately good game. Obviously there are issues here and there but I'm sure you know them better than any of us, and there's nothing that makes the game unplayable. Thank you for your work!

Never heard about this tool... lol
Nelson
Thank you so much for this massive update. Love the new soundtrack! :)
As people have already pointed out there's still room for improvement when it comes to physics and difficulty balance. But the fact that everybody who's contributed to this has turned an almost unplayable game into something legitimately decent is pretty impressive.
One thing to consider for potential future updates, that hasn't been mentioned yet, is graphics contrast. While as a whole everything looks rather pretty, some stages lack distinction between fore- and background elements. Labyrinth Zone especially suffers from this, since the same shades of green/beige are used for either. If picking another color for them isn't an option, sacrificing background detail for the sake of playability might be the way to go.
Anyway, congratulations for reaching this milestone!
I have a Flash based Cart of this and I just updated it to this version - its becoming more and more like a nes port of Sonic 1 from Genesis to NES!
Oh there ever be Scrap Brain Zone the level that's been cut out on this? I feel this isn't complete without this missing level there's even a nes version of Scrap Brain Zone in the sound test that is left out.
I'll share this Via Twitter to get the word out on this new and improved version! - just look for the handle @AIHoloLynx (I returned to it recently)
First I must clarify that the publication of this hack was advanced to accompany people in quarantine, so in this sense I was working to bring many other interesting improvements that have not yet reached the final cut (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwr-3cc43cc0-8b5a-4e8e-8131-1f7fac3d9261.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3ci0zY2M0M2NjMC04YjVhLTRlOGUtODEzMS0xZjdmYWMzZDkyNjEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.oZgOQlQeSpeXZC-mmQFRFSAic6qeVIbgXP-ptEgSCVo)
But in the same way I must state that I have never studied assembly code, moreover I have learned everything by analyzing the game in Fceux while it was running.
So although I know where the programming of practically any element is located, I only change the things that I am one hundred percent sure of what they are and what they are for, so I cannot promise reprogrammed enemies (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
On the other hand, there is another hacker who has already done this, but at the moment I never publish his work, perhaps analyzing this project could transfer these changes, but obviously it is still not something that I can assure :thumbsup:
On the levels I manage practically all the parameters to modify them, but I do not finish understanding the operation of the list of enemies.
Since it is not enough to establish the attributes of the enemy, the list of objects must follow a correct order to be able to load all the objects, otherwise there will be blocks of enemies absent.
That is why, not knowing what that ordering criterion is, currently the only way to make a drastic edit to an object is to change its position in the list until all the enemies work, which translates into hours of trial and error :P
Another problem with enemies is that they are automatically loaded when their level block is active, so considering that the game is loading four blocks simultaneously, it is logical that enemies have so much advantage when attacking you.
On the other hand, there are also enemies anchored to one level block, but moved by coordinates to another, which seems to make them react as if Sonic were in front of them.
For the moment until I can figure out what I am missing, the best I could do was try different positions for each enemy until reducing their lethality, but I came to the conclusion that until the technical aspects of them were changed, almost in any place are a pain a nuisance (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwv-d97dcc9b-6efd-43dd-b1b3-98e8e2b011e1.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3di1kOTdkY2M5Yi02ZWZkLTQzZGQtYjFiMy05OGU4ZTJiMDExZTEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.QpoRHrdkXw9EaFPlJQ92z6KlWQeKYl1SxkD2QOfqbpA)
Although when you master the strange physics of the game, you will see that there are only 3 enemies that cannot be reached, what happens is that the physics of this Sonic definitely do not respond to common sense, which by the way is the most common of the senses.
That's why about reducing the extent of the levels, although I can practically do it, the lack of freedom of positioning of the enemies still prevents me from doing (https://orig00.deviantart.net/972b/f/2019/087/3/e/nono_by_terwilf-dd38dxp.gif)
Unfortunately those who follow this project will know that except for some very great contributions, practically everything else is carried alone, it is sad but it does not seem to be such an attractive project for everyone :thumbsup:
There is much more to explain, but despite myself I have just arrived and I must rest to get up early :-\

ps: Sics, you're from Spain? T.A. Marcos , from Spain is my partner on romhacks ,Super Monaco GP and Fifa 2020, and he consider your hack one of the bests he ever seen.
I think it's a bit early for 'final' update.
First, sound effects still as in ver 1.0. ( example for rings, I used key from little nemo, сan't we find something better? )
Second, I also have an other idea - to change scroll/render to remove side artifacts.
What I don't like, it's a new rings. They are too big. When Sonic get damage, it drops small rings.
This looks stupid, when you collect big rings, but drop other small rings. I prefer v1.0 rings.

I would say, maybe the "M" sound effect from M.C. Kids, if it works in this mapper, would be a better choice. The sound effect that is there is very 'forward' in the mix, and this is a sound you will hear very often.

Could you perhaps make Sonic's 'hit box' smaller? It seems like even coming close to a bullet from an enemy is recorded by the game program as a hit. Other than that, I understand what you're saying about the enemies being loaded as soon as their level block is loaded. That's quite a problem. You seem also to be saying that if you change the position of a single enemy, then the entire level's enemies will fail to load, unless you change them all. Did I understand correctly?
Another idea to soften this up could be to slow the rate of acceleration when Sonic begins to move. He seems to take off pretty fast once you start walking. The MD version allows very precise movements from a complete stop, by just 'tapping' the D-Pad. In this version, he seems to move quite far from a single tap. Although, to me (who is also untrained) this sounds like it would involve altering the assembly code, so perhaps this also might not be doable yet.
Really, other than giving sonic the KameHameHa, I don't know what else, really. Someone needs to code up a level editor for this thing. :)
Also, as for the level length, same difference as the enemies, right? You take out one level block, they all fail to load. Once again, this seems like a job for a level editor.
I wish I knew how to do more things. :|
Accidentally found bugs. I don't know if it's the original or the hack. The first is not known for sure, but the second is clearly

Alright, I've beaten it.
Labyrinth Zone and Starlight Zone are not as obscenely 'recycled screen' long as Zones 1-3. I think I do remember you saying that Scrap Brain Zone is not in this, also. It goes straight from Starlight Zone to Final Zone.
Still, it's remarkable how well this turned out for a Chinese Pirate game, or whatever it was that ended up leading to the creation of it. With a new coat of paint and some minor fixes, it's not half bad. The controls definitely need to be re-worked, as does the enemy placement and level design. But it's certainly far and away a much better game than most of its ilk.
Once again, this deserves a cookie. :cookie:
First congratulations on the work! I just finished the game, graphically it's beautiful, very impressive!
My comments:
01 - Difficulty is very punitive, some enemies kill us very easily and still have good aim!
02 - The Marble Zone stage could have a better contrast between the enemies and the scenery, sometimes I couldn't see the bats and thorns until I touched them.
03 - I know that the engine is complicated to move, but skidding, collision with the rings and collision with the roof is not cool.
04 - Particularly I would prefer a color distribution like this.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/161LrQXscNTr8iPb7bONBaTNQDKxu3B6v/view?usp=drivesdk
05 - Does adding emeralds change the end of the game? How many would I need to get? Thanks again for giving us such a beautiful job!
I finished the entire game today, and having gotten a bit more used to the controls, I can say that this is some excellent work. Some enemy placement is a bit wonky, and some of the physics, specifically with ramps in Star Light Zone, are off, but it's completely playable and works. It makes sense that without assembly code some of the bigger issues can't be fixed. Unfortunate, but understandable, and what you've been able to do without it has been great so far.
One minor bug I did find in Labyrinth Zone, there were a few instances where a bubble generator appeared on screen, but the actual bubbles were spawning elsewhere on screen. It made the boss section in act 3 especially difficult, as bubble generators appearing on the climb didn't actually spawn any bubbles out of them. But all said, I was still able to beat it.
Great work, and thanks for all your effort on this hack!

in the original, the bubbles were also displayed incorrectly. Probably didn't find the value where they are displayed. Most likely because of this. For this need to thank the pirates
New background scroll renderer:
+ no 'artifacts' on left and right borders.
+ no more blanked lower border.
+ new code much more faster.
Patch works with v2.0 or v1.0+music.

Is this already applied to the 2.0 patch? I tried to patch my copy of the v2 rom with this patch, and it said nothing was changed.
EDIT: Never mind, I redownloaded the patch and tried again, and now it's fine.

The new design of the ring was taken from the FuriousHedgehog work and I honestly like it very much, but I must admit that the graphic change between the two states is not logical.
For my part what I could try is taking advantage of the fact that the location of the graphics in Sonic animations can be set independently, gain some space to improve that aspect.
Continuing with the theme of the rings if you look at the HUD the ring will use only 2 frames, when in most official games it uses at least three, it would be great to improve that too.
I love the idea of improving scrolling, but I don't seem to understand where to apply the patch, since I don't get it to work, if you want you can update the project post so that everyone can enjoy this improvement :beer:

The hitboxes in Sonic are very poorly located and it also seems that they were designed for Somari, but despite knowing this so far I did not discover how to edit them.
For example Sonic all the time uses the same hitbox which is a little higher than the crouched sonic sprite, which is why when it goes through a loop or there are very high rings he won't be able to pick them up, not to mention that crouching down is just an aesthetic change.
Exactly, Sonic's physics is inherited from Jabu's project.
Almost, but it will only stop charging a group of enemies, it's like a chain is broken.
No, the levels are quite easy to edit, there is a sector where you set the starting point of Sonic, the mask for the rings of each level, and finally the dimensions of the level, there is even a special sector to handle the graphics changes in Green Hill.
It would be great to have a level editor, although with this I with Tiled I arrange myself perfectly, for the moment.

One thing that if I think it is a necessity is an animation editor for Sonic, the format in which its animations are written is extremely simple, but to modify them you have to write tons of text (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwv-d97dcc9b-6efd-43dd-b1b3-98e8e2b011e1.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3di1kOTdkY2M5Yi02ZWZkLTQzZGQtYjFiMy05OGU4ZTJiMDExZTEuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.QpoRHrdkXw9EaFPlJQ92z6KlWQeKYl1SxkD2QOfqbpA)

Marble Zone error was a common problem, but I corrected it by changing the material on the edges of the platforms.
What happens there, is that in that specific block I decided to leave it that way, since it allows to perform a very fun effect on one of the ramps later, since in the other places where it is reused, it did not cause any kind of serious inconvenience ::)

The next problem also knew him, there are other ways to get the same mistake, but to be expected from a game programmed by pirates (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
Error reports are always welcome anyway, for example thanks to Ramzet's gameplay I was able to fix a lot of things that I didn't know were going on before we released the version we all know (https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)

This color distribution was the original, but it was modified because of another criticism, which highlighted the lack of color contrast, also considering that in real hardware the current color contrasts a lot to that displayed in emulators perhaps it is best to listen to your suggestion and change it again :/

Bubbles are a level object, and as you'll know if you've read previous answers, the current method by which you repositioned the objects is very tedious so at that level I prioritized the problem enemies and everyone who knows this damn zone knows there were too many :laugh:
Thanks for the explanation about the bubble generators! I admit I haven't read the entire thread, so I feel sheepish about that. But that makes sense.

Just apply IPS patch over any latest ROM.
I checked both "STH Improvement Vol.2.nes" and "Sonic The Hedgehog (NES) Improvement V1.0 + Music Hack.nes" and it's works.
Difference:

just re-uploaded patch, can you check now?
After applying the new version of the scrolling patch the artefacts on the left/right border are indeed gone.
Depending on the emulator there now can be artefacts on the upper border (Mesen). Nestopia on the other hand doesn't show any. I guess it depends on the settings?
Anyway, I consider this a nice improvement. Thanks again!

On the other hand I will not deny that my nick looks very nice on the cover, but this project is possible thanks to the work of more than two people, so although I literally do not care how people decide to enjoy the hack, I prefer to see my name on a small list in some corner along with everyone else who made this possible, on the other hand I would love to have a copy of your designs :thumbsup:

Ah yeah that was you! Unfortunately, I didn't quite get the hang of it and I forgot to try again... I do appreciate you trying to help.
I updated the designs a bit. The other contributors are on the cover, though its hard to see from here. As you are the publisher of the patch it looks more natural to have your name (like if Sega published, it would say Sega you know, rather than 100 names from the actual credits). Once the hack feels complete from you and Ti_'s standpoint, I can send you the designs so you can get a repro of your work for sure.

I found a bug in the new rendering engine, if you let the demo mode run the game crashes, Even starting the game and activating the display mode from the memory the game locks the bad thing is, that I already submitted the post :-\

There's also bug with continue screen, but it present in v2.0.
I checked it caused by changing HScroll in /irq. The value #240 stored in $34D. #2 in $84 is irq func number. Changing one of them to 0 will fix this.

Made a full printable box for whenever I get around to making a repro of this. I did get a chance to play the hack today and it is significantly improved indeed! I understand the enemy patterns and placements aren't perfect but modifying that would probably require way more complicated modification so I get why that can't be fixed.

Great, about the error on the screen of continue the people with which I dealt with that point, they felt that it was something caused by the lack of precision in some emulators.

Although I should also mention that in Hummer (the last version of Somari), this seems to be fixed, since it works well with any emulator, in addition said code has been moved to another sector and seems to have some differences with the rest of the versions.

On the other hand, I discovered that by changing the value located at 0x07ed5f to zeros, it seems to fix the bug in the rest of versions of "Somari", but being a value that still remains present in the code of Hummer, seems not to be really related, that is more this was what they told me about that:

The FCEUX handling of the special mapper used by this game doesn't seem entirely correct, specifically the IRQ states, which triggers this bug.
The ROM hack is just breaking code, the F0 is not directly related to the one in memory address 034d. If you really want a hack fix instead of waiting for FCEUX to catch up than I'd suggest adding a write of 00 to 034d (the offset of the bottom of CONTINUE) somewhere in the code that initializes the continue screen.
One more thing I'd like to mention is that in the name tables the title screen looks correct.

For Mesen - video options - overscan.
Maybe it's asking a lot, but could someone put a synthesized voice saying SEGA in the opening ?! It would be epic!
Wow! You've come a long way! I'm proud of you, my dude!
I know it sounds like I'm rushing here and jumping the shark, but seeing as we've got some form (even if VERY basic) of a level editor, perhaps we can slowly attempt to replicate the Zone layouts from the Mega Drive (or Master System for faster level design) and make this look like an almost official port!
Honestly having finished the most important part of the project (at least as far as I can contribute) I am much more eager to work on other new hacks, so although I feel that they would be great to apply any of these ideas that they propose, I am not interested in working on it.
Currently in the notes I shared this all the information necessary to edit the levels, although it is true, that there are still details to polish, I have no doubt that anyone with the minimum knowledge of ASM, can easily solve them.
On the other hand, even if you lack that knowledge with programs like CadEditor, Tiled, Fcuex, Notepad++ and some patience, you can make any edition.
Important Notes:

Dimenciones de Nivel.txt
Enemigos Finales.txt (Disable line adjustment)
Thank you very much sic, I was playing it and it's great.
It will even be in a new version, waiting for your new projects to follow. :beer:
The wait was so worth! I played this and I loved it. Thank you for your work!
hi Sics, would it be possible to make the enemies (mechanical wasps) your bullets have a lower speed? the bullets go very fast and there is practically little chance of escaping them since the mechanical wasps appear and automatically fire. You could opt for slower bullets or that when mechanical wasps appear they do not fire automatically. ;D

I have detected a new bug, the mask that covers the capsule when it explodes is generated on the wrong screen, causing it not to be displayed in the game:

Unfortunately although I am aware of all the problems that enemies have, as I have mentioned several times along this thread, I currently do not possess the necessary knowledge to reprogram them :-\
In addition. I take this opportunity to remember that any kind of collaboration is welcome, even if it is sporadic with the aim of solving some specific issue, or presenting a counterpoint on some detail that they believe can be improved
Finally, I don't mind answering a question more than once, but with this point they've been somewhat insistent lately, so I'd like to ask for two things:
The first is that they don't use private messages for hack-related issues, unless they really are things they feel they can't speak in public and as far as possible they occupy the advanced search tool before making a query they may suspect has been treated in the past, thank you very much for your understanding :thumbsup:

Ok. I fixed this. Same url.
I Did Some Improvements With The Title Screen... For Instance, I Sorta Removed The "2020 Hack By The Jabu" Text And Fixed Up The Waterfall Animation So That They Won't Look Out Of Place. :laugh:

I don't know if this is a debugging oversight or not, but pushing select instantly enables the Level Select (if this IS intentional, I suggest changing it to the ORIGINAL Mega Drive inputs: Up, Down, Left, Right)

Great, I just sent the update :beer:

It looks really good, although I am currently still trying to add the title screen I've been working on, anyway if I don't achieve it I would definitely love to integrate your proposal :thumbsup:
Although I must mention that I do not agree to remove the credits of the hack author for no reason that justify it :-\

You must have applied the Menu Code - Select (Others).ips patch without realizing it, as this patch serves to simplify the level selection trick, the way you commented.
The default trick of the game is practically the Konami code, but with the last two buttons of the sequence repeated.

Although I thought correcting it would be a nice tribute to its creator, I feel that something is missing when I change it :P
Hi hungry people and people who do not talk about their private life, I've been testing the level edition more thoroughly and I discovered some interesting things.
By changing Green Hill data to point to other Zones, I realized that the sector I thought was responsible for defining the proportions of the level, only restricts the space in which Sonic is allowed to move.
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/ddwbou5-2d9af0e2-ba2b-4518-9f6b-da630755f455.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvM2EyZWU1ZjItMTA4OC00ODdhLWIzYzEtMGFiN2RjMzA3NTg3XC9kZHdib3U1LTJkOWFmMGUyLWJhMmItNDUxOC05ZjZiLWRhNjMwNzU1ZjQ1NS5wbmcifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.137bW2LO4ACrfQcMycMlpLiOIUClzQGnYVNOwuwkUdM)
However, everything indicates that there is indeed a place where this data is defined, since for example by adding acts with proportions higher than those originally designated, their level blocks are loaded in a disorderly way.

Another encouraging fact is that despite the changes, Green Hill continues to load its own palette, this is good, because performing the same checks with Scrap Brain Zone, it could be shown that not only does it possess its assigned palette, but has its own level proportions.
In addition to the fact that both the Special Stage and the Final Zone, were written occupying part of the space designated for the level blocks, which suggests Scrap Brain has originally been omitted due to lack of space.
Other one interesting fact is that the Special Stage has an unused level that does not respect the standard format of the levels in the game, this may indicate this bonus would be one of the first things programs by the team of developers or that would work in a different way than the common levels.

On the other hand, I would appreciate any help in better understanding how the levels work, so that I could deliver a better result in future editions of this project :thumbsup:
To Be Honest... You're Probably Right... :-\
But On The Other Hand, I Didn't Know There Was Actually Another Unused Special Stage!? :o
P.S. Why Doesn't The Continue Theme Play In The Continue Screen Anymore?
SuperStarFox
I don't really know, there's a new line of code under the coding of the continues (0x7ED06) that seems to be related to this alteration you mention, but to tell you the truth the continues always presented a rather dubious operation in terms of their accuracy :P
On the other hand, Somari is a virtually free game engine due to the legal limbo in which it is located, so I do not doubt that someone with greater expertise will better research its code in the future, for my part I will try to continue to deliver the best of my :thumbsup:
In other news, about the unification of appearance in the animation of the rings, both PacManfan64 and his server, we were trying to do something about it.

But personally I am not convinced, I think that the new designs leave too much evidence of the limitations of the palette of the system, when this is one of the aspects that I most considered when working with the art of this game.
I understand that in addition to the mismatch between the two graphics, its excessive size has also been highlighted, which makes me wonder if with a more effective design these could be better adapted to those restrictions, but personally I never managed to overcome the great work of FuriousHedgehog in this section... (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
Hello, it is only to warn that given my current situation I will probably be absent for a while, on the other hand I take the opportunity to comment that I have already discovered the addresses where the size of each level is established.
Thanks to this I was able to load the discarded special stage, it seems that it was discarded at an early stage since it seems that some important blocks in its design would be missing, although this could also be attributed to the fact that part of the space that by logic should be used for these blocks were occupied to program the Final Zone, hinting that they were eliminated in a post to bring this zone to the game.
On the other hand unfortunately when changing the dimensions of the levels I could see that the enemies stop being loaded correctly, until now my notes ...

Sorry for the quality of the notes, this is the best I can offer at the moment, also I do not want to stop thanking everyone who follows this project.
I can't wait to see what the second stage has to offer.
How to say it, currently like many this year I am experiencing quite a few tribulations, for which although I would really like, it is impossible for me to resume something of this magnitude at the moment.
On the other hand, I try to keep my head active when facing simple jobs, so I do not rule out returning with more encouragement in the future.
Anyway, if someone has the desire to rekindle this hack, let them know that they have all my support :thumbsup:
I thank everyone for accompanying the development of work and I wish them the best in this particular 2020! :woot!:
It seems that most of us are having a lot of tribulations this year. 2020, a year to be forgotten ...
Hello, I just happened to tell you something that has me very excited, currently a hacker named woring (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnYWuZQ5szIWR_IrY-DxtsQ) is creating a really promising Somari hack! :beer:

Changelog (Reduced):
- New level designs (With enemy repositioning included) :laugh:
- Modification of the waiting sequence for Somari and Exoploción of monitors.
- Editing of certain physics (Jump of Somari, destruction of objects).
- Sound effects to objects that did not have them before.
Please give your full support Link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbwiRw_LQT0) :thumbsup:
:o The project that you gave us to pay attention to looks very solid. I hope it doesn't get abandoned halfway through.
P.S. I saw that the author took up the marble Zone. It looks interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tti5yzR9F9Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tti5yzR9F9Q)
Good news, Woring (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnYWuZQ5szIWR_IrY-DxtsQ) allowed me to incorporate some of the characteristics of its hack into this project!!! :beer:
• Improvements in Sonic's jump, when he jumps on a dock it no longer moves forward, and when it falls it will automatically become a ball. :thumbsup:
• Springs now have sound effects, although they are currently recycled from other actions in the game.
• Some aspects of the levels are tweaked to further reduce user frustration.

If you have played the game just by looking at this image you will realize how much the hack has improved :laugh:
On the other hand, I take the opportunity to recommend another related YouTube channel, it does not have many videos, but you can see that it is a very talented person, look at this wonder Link (https://youtu.be/VGnjSOOhX2c) (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwm-545f8f63-f851-4b02-a5aa-2f59e53ec6c8.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3bS01NDVmOGY2My1mODUxLTRiMDItYTVhYS0yZjU5ZTUzZWM2YzguZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.c7p6PE9SZxqDcdKUyngWrHFdEqhrYx3IWQgwebmYiAU)
"Folding into a ball immediately when we fall. There is no pushing forward as there was before." It sounds like a well-chosen pattern of deflection from a *Stray bullet*. How will it be in your project, sics, I would look at it ::) :thumbsup:
Killing that enemy while falling spinning lol, looks a feature that even Sonic Mania doesn't thought to made.
Man, I love seeing a lot of changes being made for this game. :laugh:
You're doing a great job sics! :thumbsup:
By the way, here's a video that you'll enjoy... see you later. :)
https://youtu.be/vlUaOkr2GNo
Sics how about .... hey your Sonic 5 project continues to implement improvements ... will Sonic 5 improve Vol.3 ?
Greetings :woot!:

Thanks, I promise it will be worth the wait, this will not be another update! :beer:

Don't comment on it, but I work at NASA part time :laugh:

I'm the first "like" in that video, I've literally seen all Somari's videos on the Internet, I think I have to find a life :D

Not as much as Vol. 3, but Woring's great gesture has motivated me a lot:
- Create new complementary blocks.
- I did a lot of tinkering on Green Hill.
- I fixed the graphical glitch of the continue screen.
- Improved the navigation controls on the "Level Select" and "Continue" screen.
- Now Sonic goes ball when he bounces off the star springs.
And I am working to fix the issues that prevented my custom screen from being possible:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/de75tx1-c2bf58d2-7d68-420c-a941-665ac928f511.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvM2EyZWU1ZjItMTA4OC00ODdhLWIzYzEtMGFiN2RjMzA3NTg3XC9kZTc1dHgxLWMyYmY1OGQyLTdkNjgtNDIwYy1hOTQxLTY2NWFjOTI4ZjUxMS5naWYifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.yeP5Z-fIh4xOw9PcjJHWE1i-H5p3oI533KZMcNazbPo)
Update, for the moment I have overwritten part of the data of the level selection screen to test if everything works correctly, I hope that after optimizing the data I can add it without problems.
If you are curious how it is left I leave you a sample that You can apply in my hack, be careful it is not finished yet :thumbsup:
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/1614/f/2019/087/8/c/download_by_terwilf-dd39bcf.gif) SHT - TScreen Test (https://mega.nz/file/2YoCTQBD#Sck-fMdxobSK3a5EAPRwImDpWmbmI1dcvPXkTyT27Oo)
I tried the sample right now... and so far, it looks pretty good! However, there doesn't seem to be any tinkering, the navigation controls, the spin dash being fixed, or a few other improvements or any additional content just yet, but it's okay! The sample was pretty good since the custom title screen you worked on looks more like a true port of Sonic 1 even with the Sega logo. :laugh:
However, there's no text shown in the level selection screen and I had to figure out which level was either Green Hill Zone, Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, Labyrinth Zone, Star Light Zone, Final Zone, or the Special Stage. But overall, the sample was still good and I'm looking forward to the biggest update sooner or later. :thumbsup:
Sorry, this patch is just for people to give feedback on the title screen now that I can still make changes :laugh:
In the future, when everything works as it should, you can download the full version by the usual means :thumbsup:
Used this patch for the hack that came out earlier. In General, I was fascinated by this. This title screen is very good. It looks like a real port :thumbsup: The only reason I can see the pixels in the area of the mountain not fully drawn or they are broken pixels... and also - in the left part, closer to the middle - a strip of pixels flashes... Breaking the graphics... I don't think it was meant to be :-\ :huh:
I have tested the game on all the emulators that I know of and the error you mention could only be reproduced on old or inaccurate emulators.
This is produced by a bad overlap in the cut area between the two parts that make up the title screen, but I must also mention that this problem is found in the same way in the original version of the game, only that it is concealed by filling in said sector of a solid color.
Personally, it seems like a very vulgar solution, so I prefer to wait and see if that happens on real hardware ;)
On the other hand I just finished a simplified version of the "Zone Selector", although I am not convinced of the key layout, it is quite functional And since I never lose hope I hid enough space to write "Scrap Brain".

What I couldn't help but notice is the horrible color transition that the game has when switching screens:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/de75snb-4dd151f2-39ae-4372-87fb-e30c9b365d37.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvM2EyZWU1ZjItMTA4OC00ODdhLWIzYzEtMGFiN2RjMzA3NTg3XC9kZTc1c25iLTRkZDE1MWYyLTM5YWUtNDM3Mi04N2ZiLWUzMGM5YjM2NWQzNy5naWYifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.NVmhmBKvetegoOmZfSJYIScip4OuEACHaSFC5yYvhMg)
At first I thought that it would be enough to modify the palette so that the white color was located in another position, but when doing so, the same thing continued to happen with white, I imagine it must be a residue of a discarded feature, perhaps they would have planned to reuse this screen in some way in the level selector, since their data continues to be loaded when entering this secret menu, which does not happen in the rest of the transitions with this itself.

Anyway, I would like to find a way to disable that function, since it is not aesthetic at all, so if someone has the knowledge to give me a hand I would be eternally grateful :thumbsup:

It's perfect, it's very beautiful!
Now I see. Mesen 0.9.9 and Freux 2.2.3 - inaccurate emulators. Weak, old emulator - VirtuaNES - does not show the flashing bar. I tested it on these - and that's why I said about this strange graphics error.

sics, the new title screen looks amazing! You did such an incredible job! :thumbsup:
I just want to say that I don't think the poll is accurate as of now (3 against, 2 for), as just about everybody who's actually taken the time to comment has expressed 100% positive views (and I am with the people congratulating on the Title screen, I think it looks absolutely Incredible, something that I never thought could be achieved on NES hardware).
We go by parts as Ripper would say :laugh:

First thanks for all the feedback on the new title screen, it really was a tough road to achieve this goal (https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)
About the survey, I have decided to leave the new title screen by default and include a patch to revert it to its original state for whoever wants it.
On the other hand, if this new update is well received, I plan to create more material such as a custom title screen for Somari, so it would be great if you spread the word so that the hack reaches more people. :thumbsup:
Regarding the error report of diablo666, I already solved the problem and even fixed another (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)bug (https://youtu.be/q_HTzoCaPkk) that you had reported before, which I confused with one that I already knew (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)

What happened is that I do not use Mesen, nor the "new PPU" of Fceux, so I was not able to notice what you mentioned, so I ask that when someone wants to report a problem, if possible they accompany their report with any screenshot or supporting material, thank you very much! :thumbsup:
Would white, rather than peach, be a better color for Sonic's in-game sprite?
To sics: sics, your idea on leaving the title screen by default would be a better idea. But seeing custom title screens for the other bootleg games like Somari would look perfect. :thumbsup:
To tygerbug: Ummmmm, tygerbug? I don't really think white would look good on Sonic's in-game sprites. :-\
(https://i.imgur.com/zlIQFim.png)
Clown mouth to go with the white.
I wanted to draw real human teeth but that proved tricky at that small scale.
Obviously sics knows what he's doing. The title screen color being slightly off was minor compared to the effort involved to get the complete image (and animations!) looking good.

First, if I had all the answers, I would not open a query thread, secondly, it is a bit ironic that you tell him that his opinion does not count since I owe him indirectly to have been able to carry out the new title screen and lastly and most importantly, the Picture made me laugh anyway :laugh:

You can modify nametables in NES Screen Tool.
Export your nametable for any scene from the Mesen emulator's Memory Tools.
(https://i.imgur.com/xGBGRn5.png)
Here I am looking at Nametable RAM, including what looks like the palettes at bottom. Save the nametable RAM as a file.
Open this up in a hex editor. It's twice as big as it should be. Delete the second half of the file from 400 onward. Rename to .NAM.
Import CHR graphics into shiru's NES Screen Tool (https://shiru.untergrund.net/software.shtm). Open your NAM file.
Recreate your palettes manually I guess.
At this point you can alter your background sprites and palettes, and save the results to be copy/pasted back into the ROM later. You can also create onscreen sprite displays as a metasprite bank.
You can use NES Screen Tool like a drawing tool here, placing tiles and palettes. Check or uncheck "Apply Tiles" and "Apply Palettes."
The .bin data you save when you're done can be manually reinserted into your NES ROM in the appropriate places.
(https://i.imgur.com/Qk5iRQk.png)
In Mesen (or in your old DMP file), copy a few bytes/numbers from the unaltered nametable and search for THAT in the NES file.
Find this data inside the original ROM in a hex editor.
(Either in a Hex editor or in FCEUX's Hex editor. Open up Debug/Hex editor/ROM file, you will be able to see your changes in real time. I suppose Mesen can do this too.)
You have found the Nametable for this scene inside the ROM.
You may be able to simply copy/paste your new/altered Nametable info directly into the ROM (from the .BIN file you exported from NES Screen Tool, or from an .MSB if you were working with sprites).
However, the code in the actual ROM may be different and more complex than that - there may be extra commands which jump around the screen, like maybe a three-byte command on every line break, or commands which seek to a specific point onscreen.
So you may need to make changes to your code to account for that.. Compare your new code to the old hex code.
Try this in FCEUX's hex editor, while working with the CHR ROM. See if you're breaking the code by pasting in the new code.
(It depends on the ROM!
They often have some extra code which you have to work around, in the actual Nametables.
Maybe an extra three bytes before every line of sprites, and an extra three bytes in the middle of the color palette at the end.
It's not too hard though! Just something to look out for, and add to your new code!)
Although I did not use the method described by him, I put my eyes on "NES Screen Tool" and realized that I could use this tool in a similar way to what I was already doing with Tiled, this literally opened up endless possibilities for me, now I can have in hours what used to take me weeks :beer:
By the way, next time you say I know what I'm doing, keep in mind that I was about to add versions with the following designs:

I am honestly not convinced by the idea of using the white color, since it would stand out much more than the other colors, so I could not integrate it correctly in the current sprite.
On the other hand, if the conditions to edit the characters improve, I would like to continue experimenting with Sonic's design, for example a while ago I adapted the design of another artist in a style similar to that of NES (Although at the moment without taking into account the actual hardware restrictions)
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/de3e5x4-e9f5a6d0-236d-4d5f-9ddf-86b22cfd93c8.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvM2EyZWU1ZjItMTA4OC00ODdhLWIzYzEtMGFiN2RjMzA3NTg3XC9kZTNlNXg0LWU5ZjVhNmQwLTIzNmQtNGQ1Zi05ZGRmLTg2YjIyY2ZkOTNjOC5naWYifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.lgWVy3dx2otTtTmpMfV5xRzgjsaAg9F0PYKGpjqP5WA)
My point was just that the peach color is standing in for both white and some flesh tones, and it's probably more important that the white parts look white. (Eyes, shoes, gloves etc)
He has a similar design to Felix the Cat who was black and white (and had two NES games).
But your choice obviously.
sics, you are way too humble.
Quote from: tygerbug
My point was just that the peach color is standing in for both white and some flesh tones, and it's probably more important that the white parts look white. (Eyes, shoes, gloves etc)
I figured, the suggestion got me to quickly doctor the image to see what white would look like (as I too was curious why he went with peach eyes), and it instantly made me think clown makeup. His ears, arms and stomach being ghostly pale look worse than his eyes, gloves and shoes being peach.
What I meant by "sics knows what he's doing" is white seems like a natural choice so it also seems unlikely that he wouldn't have tried it but still settled on peach. Aside from his skin looking bad as pure white, it's apparent that white just looks harsh as a color on Sonic in general (within the context of the player controlled sprite against the environment), and given how long sics has been working on this, again, it seems impossible that he hasn't gotten a feel for what colors work.
tygerbug
Exactly, I never said that the idea would not work, but I do believe that with current designs it would be difficult to make it work.
On the other hand, I do not consider it ideal to cite Felix as a reference, since he is white, so it makes perfect sense that they choose that color. Not to mention that it is currently believed that this was the reason why its developers decided to tone down the colors of the game.
Returning to Sonic, we must also consider the disadvantages of this change, for example Eggman, the Buzz Bomber and other enemies would now camouflage themselves in the clouds or other white background sectors, in addition this color would become the lightest tonality of all the palettes, reducing the chances of creating contrasts, not to mention that white is considered by many to be the absence of color.

That is why I would like you to not think that I am not seriously considering your proposal, it is more likely if I had not joined Jabu's project, another would have been the artistic direction that I would have adopted :thumbsup:

Exact (Really short answer)
In woring's hack (Talui Adventure) when you destroy a monitor they disappear with a puff of smoke, why wasn't that added to this hack?
Do I need to invest in this hack? Sound of some kind, such as destruction - Yes, you can add, but the smoke is at the discretion of the most author: sics
Jerry
It's that I didn't actually copy your code, but recreated the changes on my own, I hadn't noticed that happening when destroying a monitor :-\
Anyway, I think the fairest thing is to let your project grow and support it as much as possible, so unless it is an absolute necessity I don't want to take more features from your hack :thumbsup:
They have no idea how excited I am to see another hacker interested in improving this game, so the next tutorial to edit the transition screens is secretly dedicated to him, for giving Luigi the place he deserves, truly a genius! :beer:
diablo666
I can't translate what you say correctly, but I think the author opened a query thread in order to listen to queries :D
On the other hand, getting a composer to create new sound effects for the game is a growing need for this project.Personally, I would love to have professionals of the stature of elPatrixF (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AVcdhDwB7w), although that is only a dream :laugh:

He asked you: "why is there no smoke from the destroyed monitor?"
I say, " this smoke depends on the author of this hack."
I mean, you know better. Whether to add this feature or not... in that sense...
And it's the translator's fault that people don't understand me. Some people say I'm weird.
(I looked at the user page "green Jerry", it does not lead to the author of the hack " with green Mario") !!!
what is the difference between the two xdelta files Sonic Improvement Vol.2 (v1.4) and the hummer complete cause I don't know which one to download?

what is the difference between the two xdelta files Sonic Improvement Vol.2 (v1.4) and the hummer complete cause I don't know which one to download?
I'm answering this
easy question.
Sonic Improvement Vol.2 (v1.4) - A patch that has the full changes made by the author of this project. Here the physics is corrected, the graphics are improved, partially changed - the levels to be more honest.
Тhe hummer complete - graphic port from the pirate console from the HAMMER TEAM. Тhe physics remains original, we only touched the graphic part of the levels and that's it. Levels - original, not changed.
In short, they are two different games, although Somari is effectively a patch created to be applied to "Sonic Improvement Vol.2".
On the other hand, it should be clarified that despite the fact that the routes have practically not been modified, Hummer and Family Kid are not simple graphic editions, since many things have changed internally to make their levels more solid.
But now that I think about it, the main improvements in the Improvement version have only carried over to version 1.2 of the other patches.
You should update them, although hardly anyone plays them
It could be added for a future update, an ending with Sonic with the microphone as in Master System would be great, always Robocnick with the emeralds is :-\, it could be the good and the bad ending :thumbsup:

This is from the deleted storyline in the Genesis MD version, which had Sonic rescuing his friends in the Sonic the Hedgehog band, and singing at the end. The Master System/Game Gear version reflects that in its ending somewhat.
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/b/b7/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Band.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20160309004142&path-prefix=es)

I would love to create alternative endings for this hack, but it would not be enough just to know how to write title screens, but it would require creating new programming that would manage the events that triggered each ending at least.
The positive thing is that by manually assembling each screen I managed to save a lot of space, on the other hand, at the moment the PacManfan64 proposal convinces me more, since it is closer to what one would expect from the end of Sonic 1, but it is too early to decide , since although the wishes are many, the limitations also :thumbsup:

I am currently doing everything in my power to continue understanding how each aspect of this section works, we will see what progress I achieve in the future :beer:
Another aspect that I would like to improve is the demos that teach each level, although at the moment the only thing I discovered were two addresses in memory 0x0000f2 and 0x0000f3, of which the first establishes a countdown of how long an action should last and the other what action should be taken.
When I recover from a lesson I suffered I will ask this officially in the forum, but if someone wants to give me a hand to understand how to modify this feature before that much better (https://orig00.deviantart.net/b937/f/2019/087/7/0/bounce_by_terwilf-dd38dpn.gif)
I'm liking the new improvements so far, I may try to see in the The Cutting Room Floor about Scrap Brain being missing from the game itself and somehow restore this and hack add it to the Game.
So Far its becoming more like if it was Demade for NES.
Sics do you value for future updates and better understanding of the graphics engine an update of the main model of Sonic?
The model is great but I see it very "chibi" Japanese Super-Deformed :D (cartoon), I think there will be models closer to the more realistic classic look. ;)
is the main Sonic art design yours? or is it from Jabu ?

Thank you for your words! :beer:

Strange, I thought I had answered this question, I probably left the answer misplaced in some old notepad and forgot to post it, sorry ;)
To be honest, I'm not really interested in working on a new update at the moment, as I don't feel that people have a real interest in this project.
In the course of time I've realized that this work has gone quite unnoticed, I have not even managed to include it in Sonic Retro as the other versions :-\
On the other hand, even if I would consider continuing because of boredom, I like Sonic's current design, as its structure helps to make the best use of the NES palettes, so I also think it would be a good base to design the rest of the characters ;)
Maybe if I ever had a programmer to support me I'd like to try something new, but at the rate I'm going it's more likely that I'll end up learning ASM on my own before that happens :D
Finally, when you talk about the main design, do you mean the one you show in that screenshot? because if it is, I think it was created by Hummer Team...
If you talk about the design of the hack, Jabu created its bases, I guess it belongs to him, the rest of us, although we redrew many sprites, we just kept on giving shape to that design :thumbsup:
Note: I'm not studying ASM, just kidding.

Sir, don't you think it's a bit unnecessary to revive a post to query something you could have figured out yourself? There are specific applications to see that, and you can also check it from almost any NES emulator :P

(I'm not angry, I just think it's a bit disappointing to come across such a boring question ::))
Sorry about that... :-\
Hey bro! I don't think you have to apologize for leaving the project as is. Realistically, a project can always be improved, which means it may never be finished, and in its state it's really awesome. And you can always come back to it. Personally, I think your hack is the only way Sonic the Hedgehog for NES is worth playing, so whatever you decide, that's fine ;)
Hopefully, that horrible high-pitched instrument that Hummer Team is known for using in their bootlegs won't be used in this improvement.
some things could make this game really good, I don't know if it's possible but I'll talk here, sonic starts falling and not at the level of the scenario will I be able to correct? when we run and jump we are hit by these little balls that the insects will shoot, here in this game they are programmed to shoot as fast as possible, delaying 1 second would be very good, you start walking and then change direction before you can skid it quickly. to the other side, if he doesn't walk so fast it gets better, when sonic is in the shape of a spinning ball and hits an enemy he jumps and stops, he shouldn't jump and continue forward, that would make a big difference in the game if it is possible correct

8 occasions (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)

While I appreciate your insights, you must understand that having started this project in mid-2009, there are few aspects of this game that I am not aware of (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd3jni1-e939ae9e-f0d8-4d88-9843-ad0841b0cb73.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzam5pMS1lOTM5YWU5ZS1mMGQ4LTRkODgtOTg0My1hZDA4NDFiMGNiNzMuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.6Sb_myVg_1ZLZKpncvOfvpEoMmR2wrmzjtx2vG4WtBA)

That's why having clarified so many times what my expectations were and above all what my limitations are, I think it's time for people to accept that without the
cooperation of third parties, there's not much more I can offer to this game, at least on
a technical level :-\
Having said that, I will move on to respond briefly to the points you have raised:Quote from: Flaviogames on May 29, 2021, 07:34:10 PM
Sonic starts falling and not at the level of the scenario will I be able to correct?
There is a table that indicates Sonic's starting position for each level (at 0x32A24), but apparently if the character doesn't start at the exact center of the stage there are several unexpected effects on the game's camera operation.

When we run and jump we are hit by these little balls that the insects will shoot, here in this game they are programmed to shoot as fast as possible, delaying 1 second would be very good.
The list of problems that enemies suffer from is endless, and it's without a doubt the issue I've spent the most time trying to solve, but I just couldn't find a way to solve it:
Quote from: sics on March 29, 2020, 02:39:22 AM
Another problem with enemies is that they are automatically loaded when their level block is active, so considering that the game is loading four blocks simultaneously, it is logical that enemies have so much advantage when attacking you.
On the other hand, there are also enemies anchored to one level block, but moved by coordinates to another, which seems to make them react as if Sonic were in front of them.
For the moment until I can figure out what I am missing, the best I could do was try different positions for each enemy until reducing their lethality, but I came to the conclusion that until the technical aspects of them were changed, almost in any place are a pain a nuisance
(etc, etc...)
Quote from: Flaviogames on May 29, 2021, 07:34:10 PM
You start walking and then change direction before you can skid it quickly. to the other side, if he doesn't walk so fast it gets better.
About that, although I never commented it, some time ago by mistake, I lost a version of the project in which among other things I tried to solve that aspect, realigning all the animations and modifying some parameters of Sonic's physics.
I don't want to delve too much into this topic, but even though I had managed to make a considerable improvement, at that moment I came to the conclusion that without the collaboration of some hacker to help me understand or edit Sonic's hitbox I would never manage to solve this problem completely.
Spoiler
As an aside, those who follow this project will be able to guess approximately when this happened, since it happened on that occasion where a few days after I announced that I would publish the 1.0 version of the hack, I completely disappeared :P
What happened was that in an effort to not show all the content in the demos I was sharing, I developed several things separately with the intention of integrating them later, but when I was preparing the patch I discovered to my horror that my past self had removed material I shouldn't have ::)
Quote from: Flaviogames on May 29, 2021, 07:34:10 PM
When sonic is in the shape of a spinning ball and hits an enemy he jumps and stops, he shouldn't jump and continue forward, that would make a big difference in the game if it is possible correct.
I don't understand what you mean, in the original game when Sonic starts to fall from a very high place, he can finish the fall by switching his animation to the rest state, leaving the character virtually "standing
on the air", but this doesn't happen in this version.
On the other hand, when Sonic hits any enemy he will always be propelled in some direction, if there is an exceptional case where this doesn't happen you should provide a screenshot to document this.

Conversely, if what you are trying to describe is something different, you should express your ideas better ;)

You will be pleased to know that both the sound controller, as well as the soundtrack have been replaced since 2017, thanks to the work of Ti_ (Programmer/Hacker) and Amilgi (Composer).
Also the sound driver code was updated on
02/26/2020 mainly improving its performance and reducing its memory consumption :thumbsup:
sics: first parabenz by the graphic that for me is perfect, what I meant when I mentioned about sonic spinning and hits an enemy it makes a little jump and stops when it hits an enemy, is when you hold the d-pad down and press the jump button , it is in the shape of a spinning ball, when we release the buttons it quickly spins out, when it hits an enemy it jumps and stops, the original game it keeps going forward spinning, it would be interesting to correct this and everything I've sited before but how you said would need a hack that understands how to fix it, it would be good for you to create a new topic with the proposal only you need to fix and that needs help from third parties
Maybe it's true, but I think I've already opened enough threads looking for help, both here and by other means, so I think it's time to change pages.
Also, I have no doubt that sooner or later this work will continue to move forward, with or without me, but for the moment, I say goodbye to Somari's project, but not before thanking everyone who was part, directly or indirectly, of the development of this hack.
I'm bad at saying these things, but about the previous section I would like to make a special mention to (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)RisteingTV (https://www.youtube.com/user/RisteingPirateGamer), who some time ago was a victim of Covid unfortunately, and collaborated here contributing ideas and testing the game on real hardware...
(https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/1113528632/1381561677/1500x500)
I didn't understand right that RisteingTV died of covid and recovered?
Sadly he passed away in April of this year...
a feather :( :'(
That's very sad news. We should all remember how tough this past year has been. I just want to express my deepest gratitude for everyone who works in the romhacking community. You guys bring new excitement to old games, fix problems, allow games to be enjoyed in other languages than the one the original developer chose, and so much more. Thanks for all your hard work. It doesn't go unnoticed.
Since I recently took up pixelart again, it occurred to me that it was a good time to draw this ;D

Wow! This is done very beautifully and very efficiently. I just remember the hack for SEGA. (With such a title screen) :thumbsup: Straight one-on-one!
Looks pretty good Sics, though Somari with classic Mario style colouring feels a bit weird to me, but still, nice work :thumbsup:

Thank you very much, I am flattered by what you say :beer:
Somari the Adventurer
I agree, but I decided to use this arrangement of colors to optimize resources, which if I don't find any inconvenience I plan to use to make this screen a bit more colorful :thumbsup:
Surprised this project is still going, everything looks good from what I see here :thumbsup:
Truthfully I only really know this side of the project because my thing with the hacked Tails title screen was posted here
Keep up the good work
@bootleglover well, the hack was already finished. But the only thing we could get is some title screen updates for the improved versions of Somari and Family Kid. We could also get Amilgi to make an SMS special stage theme and some more bonus tracks, but that's for another time or story.

To be honest, Family Kid is a very bad game and even though I knew it was a waste of time, I have taken the trouble to fix even the smallest details, so it would be great if you appreciated my effort (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)

The screen looks good "Family Kid".
But if you think about it, then it will be difficult to supplement it with something (because there is nothing else to supplement it with... although, as always, I am wrong and the author has a different view)
The title page of "Somari" is just like one in one of the versions on SEGA as I said earlier.
(http://info.sonicretro.org/images/6/6d/Somari_the_Adventurer_Title.png)
(Also a hack, but on the SEGA already... but I'm talking about the title page. For if you do not look at the volume of the character, then you can say as one in one.)
I didn't manage to translate what you tried to say, sorry, I don't understand you.... :-\

And considering the quality of the original material, I don't think I did a bad job...

To be honest, Family Kid is a very bad game and even though I knew it was a waste of time, I have taken the trouble to fix even the smallest details, so it would be great if you appreciated my effort (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)

Sics That cover looks really great! :D Congratulations, I already want to see the improvements you will implement to this great bootleg :crazy:
I hope you continue with this great work :thumbsup:
Thank you! I'm working very hard to bring a new update focusing mainly on the requests that were left pending :beer: (The ones I can fulfill, of course)
I've found the demo mode script, and I'm trying to fix it! (https://orig00.deviantart.net/b937/f/2019/087/7/0/bounce_by_terwilf-dd38dpn.gif)
I optimized the end of level screens to be able to get the space needed to restore the word "TIME BONUS", and corrected the message for the passed acts in the Family Kid version.

Note: I honestly don't understand who would want to play with this version of Sonic...
(For Doraemon and Family Kid, I will need a little more work, since the excessive amount of data I need to recalculate many pointers, to move them (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif))
On the other hand, I have fixed several frames that presented graphic glitches of Somari, I also corrected his palette distribution, to look correctly and retouched the frames where he looks up.

Well this is one bang up job of an update! Way to go!
Okay, this hack looks way more better with these features, optimization, and having new zone names for Speeding Hummer! Also, I apalogize about Family Kid's title screen improvement... I still think it's good. I honestly wouldn't mind replaying this hack with Doraemon, Hummer, and the original NES Classic Bootleg Sonic. :laugh:
I should have read through this thread earlier! My apologies for not checking in.
I had actually made a cover of the master system special stage music a while back, here's the .0cc and .nsf for that:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AfyhvdJERfvf7w4cdngJn8IGfO05gZp8?usp=sharing
If people are onboard to help with the audio hacking, I'd be happy to tune up my original covers (re-balance the music, fix some notes, adjust so sfx don't cut it off, etc.) as well as update the SFX to more closely match the original.
For the music I can work off my original file, but if we can put together a list of the desired SFX, I'll go ahead with remaking them.
Great to see the other various updates are coming along well! :thumbsup:
@sics
Nice to be back :)
Hopefully things such as level chunk placement/enemy placement gets changed eventually as this game currently doesn't work too great with the improved (and better feeling) game physics
Actually, I've done all the things you mention, but the enemies are still very aggressive.
Remember that I'm just an overqualified graphic designer, all my progress was achieved by investing hundreds of hours of effort and even then my progress can never compare to a real programmer.
On the other hand, although it's no consolation to admit it, it's not the first game with broken physics and although counter-intuitive when you understand them you can handle Somari quite well...

And even if it's not the case now, I must admit that it hurts and annoys me a bit to hear people saying that my effort is not worth it, being such a bad game, I really don't understand what's the problem in dedicating time and love to a game that I personally like...
For my part, I'm open to any kind of proposal, I'd love to have the help I need to add all the content this game needs! :beer:
Another clarification that I think it is necessary to make, is that this hack is not just a graphic edition, besides I started long before there was a single application to facilitate my task.

It is possible to fix the HUD to look more like the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version?
That's a very good question, I can actually do almost anything with the HUD, but there are other issues that prevent me from being creative.
As some of you may know, the
NES is incapable of drawing more than 8 sprites in the same horizontal row and it can't represent more than 64 total sprites on the screen.
This makes it necessary to strategically place each piece of the HUD, which is especially noticeable in matches against Eggman, because if you'd use a similar layout to
Genesis, this would happen:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/deq425f-cb14f18e-e5c4-43b0-830e-bd12c37b5293.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGVxNDI1Zi1jYjE0ZjE4ZS1lNWM0LTQzYjAtODMwZS1iZDEyYzM3YjUyOTMucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.NiQ-GFPEz58Ii_CCPS27lwYts7XpWFrf302-GIb2aQQ)
Which at runtime would cause graphics that can't be rendered to be skipped all the time, making it impossible to keep track of your rings through the HUD.
On the other hand, if your question actually alludes to adding more information to the HUD, such as the words "
TIME:" or "
RINGS:", with the way the current graphics work it is not a good idea.
For example, in the first battle against Eggman, this is the relative amount of graphics drawn on screen:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/deq425m-b365f468-a975-4e97-ba28-31b4a9b8ad54.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGVxNDI1bS1iMzY1ZjQ2OC1hOTc1LTRlOTctYmEyOC0zMWI0YTliOGFkNTQucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.YggTUapaQNSOJxXfVVQWutxJIsISJcmUxCF1B7XW1bM)
The first numbers represent sprites that load visible graphics and the numbers added to them represent sprites that load empty graphics.
And while I'd like to think that the invisible graphics are ignored by the PPU, when playing a normal game you'll notice that in the battle against Eggman, the game isn't able to draw Sonic's life counter on screen.
Sure, there are more efficient ways to manage the graphics, but for the moment this game works this way.

I should have read through this thread earlier! My apologies for not checking in.
I had actually made a cover of the master system special stage music a while back, here's the .0cc and .nsf for that:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AfyhvdJERfvf7w4cdngJn8IGfO05gZp8?usp=sharing
If people are onboard to help with the audio hacking, I'd be happy to tune up my original covers (re-balance the music, fix some notes, adjust so sfx don't cut it off, etc.) as well as update the SFX to more closely match the original.
For the music I can work off my original file, but if we can put together a list of the desired SFX, I'll go ahead with remaking them.
Great to see the other various updates are coming along well! :thumbsup:
Sorry, I had not seen your message, I will try to contact Ti_, to see if he is still interested in this project :thumbsup:
I think it's possible to switch the fonts with the ones from the Sega Genesis version expect you can't be able to add the words since they're already featured in the end screen. As for the music, finally... the GG/SMS Special Stage! Now all that's left is Ti_ for his thoughts on the music track. Anyway, I think I can try to list the sound effect tracks... let's see.
1. Ring collected
2. Ring lost
3. Hit by spikes
4. Shield obtained
5. Death
6. Bumper (from Spring Yard Zone)
7. Air bubble
8. Ding ding (about to drown)
9. Death by Drowning
10. Fireball
11. Checkpoint
12. Continue obtained (after obtaining 50 rings in the special stage)
13. Death (GG/SMS version, opitonal)
Bonus Tracks (Again, Opitonal)
1. Bridge Zone
2. Jungle Zone
3. Labyrinth Zone (GG/SMS version)
4. Scrap Brain (GG/SMS version)
5. Sky Base Zone
6. Boss Stage (GG/SMS version)
7. Chaos Emerald (GG/SMS version)
8. Ending/Staff Roll (GG/SMS version)

What features you used in 0cc, than are not present in original ftm?
I checked with sonic hack driver (famitracker v5), and it's works. Idk if it sounds correctly or not.
(0cc-famitracker based on famitracker v4 with a lot of new features.)
DL:
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/2xRwsbb4EQ8XAQ
1) put rom named "Sonic The Hedgehog (NES) Improvement V1.0 + Music Hack.nes" in this folder.
2) launch build.bat
3) new rom named "Sonic_The_Hedgehog_(NES)_Improvement_V1.0_+_Music_Hack_NEW.nes" will be created.
4) open this new rom.
5) press 'UP' button on title screen, and start. you will enter in menu.
6) sound test from 20 to 30 are street fighter songs, and 31 is sms bonus stage.
For new sound effects SMS maybe used as base. The SMS square channels similar to NES channels. Only need to convert them.

Most of 0CC's new features concern instruments, and since I composed everything with just 1 blank instrument I didn't end up using many of them.
The only new feature I think I used in the street fighter music was the added effect MXY, which just applies Y volume after X ticks. Even then it was only sparingly, so it's probably not that noticeable if they're missing. The SMS bonus stage should be all good.
I'm not certain if 0CC exports .NSFs any differently, but if that causes any issues you can drop the .0CC into vanilla famitracker and it plays/exports just fine (only the few MXY's won't work)

Good call, when I get a chance to update the sfx I'll try using the SMS/GG titles as reference. I'll hopefully get to it in the coming weeks.
I'll plan to stick to one melodic channel for the sfx - what I'll do is move all the lead melodies to pulse 1 and keep all the sfx on pulse 2, which should help avoid noticeable cutoff.
Thanks for offering to help out with another sound update :beer: I'll post any progress updates in this thread so they can be tested
I tried my hand at a couple Genesis-style sound effects to be played back on a single square channel. The enemy kill sound would sound better using the noise channel as well, but since the game seems to only use single channel effects so far I kept it to one.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1x6o5e6ifflpvvb/sonic-se.ftm?dl=1
I originally tried making DPCM samples but they sound a bit rough... though it would prevent music from being interrupted by sound effects if you used DPCM solely for sound effects.
edit: I also made this just to try it (just in case it's ever added): https://www.dropbox.com/s/6yeiumpr37ftxja/scrap.ftm?dl=1
edit2: I opened the sound test just to check and you already have it so never mind; I'll keep this here for fun I guess.
As I told you before I contacted Amilgi to present him your proposal, and he answered me that for the moment he was planning to try to adapt the SFX of the SMS/GG version to the needs of this hack, even so he thinks that your contribution could be useful anyway.
On the other hand, as ta had already advanced, he also doubts that at this stage of the project will be implemented DPCM for Sonic Improvement Vol2.
Note: I've taken the liberty of converting your sound samples to NSF, so everyone can hear them :thumbsup:

I take this opportunity to give a brief update on the status of the project.
As I said before I found the game's demo mode script and even though I figured out how it works and I know how to write it, it's too tedious to write all Sonic's actions manually, so I'm not convinced yet that it's worth the effort...
On the other hand, after analyzing the animations of the original Sonic, I realized that there were traces of 4 copies of it scattered throughout the code of the game, so I took the opportunity to remove them (https://orig00.deviantart.net/6cc7/f/2019/086/3/4/shades_by_terwilf-dd34pw9.gif)
In the past I had already found indications that there were repeated blocks of code, as is the case of the oxygen timer in Labyrinth, I imagine that these are vestiges of the use of some automated method to expand the rom.
About that there is also a large amount of unused space on the CHR, although I have the ability to rearrange the tiles to leave all the free space at the bottom, I wonder if there is a way to remove the rest (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif), since if we reduce the rom size, this game could be played on the cheaper everdrives.
I don't know if I have anything left to say, I currently have my main pc unusable, so I can't see my notes, so that's all for the moment, cheers.
I think in terms of fixing stuff in general, the way Sonic moves is what needs to be fixed the most. I realize this is probably outside the scope of what you want to do since it would mean reworking a lot of code probably. I think most of this is the same as what was wrong in Somari. Here's some of what I've noticed:
- Sonic's acceleration only has two states instead of being gradual
- Sonic can turn around too quickly in midair
- You cannot hit TV screens/powerups from the side
- hit detection around loops is still janky
- rolling into a ball does not increase your speed or acceleration
- hitting enemies from the side sometimes makes you move up even though it shouldn't
The truth is that I have dealt with this issue several times in the course of this project, without going any further, on the previous page I answered a similar question:

While I appreciate your insights, you must understand that having started this project in mid-2009, there are few aspects of this game that I am not aware of (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd3jni1-e939ae9e-f0d8-4d88-9843-ad0841b0cb73.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzam5pMS1lOTM5YWU5ZS1mMGQ4LTRkODgtOTg0My1hZDA4NDFiMGNiNzMuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.6Sb_myVg_1ZLZKpncvOfvpEoMmR2wrmzjtx2vG4WtBA)

That's why having clarified so many times what my expectations were and above all what my limitations are, I think it's time for people to accept that without the cooperation of third parties, there's not much more I can offer to this game, at least on a technical level :-\
Having said that, I will move on to respond briefly to the points you have raised:There is a table that indicates Sonic's starting position for each level (at 0x32A24), but apparently if the character doesn't start at the exact center of the stage there are several unexpected effects on the game's camera operation.
(https://orig00.deviantart.net/c389/f/2018/185/7/f/inicio_2_by_terwilf-dcg9v2s.gif)
The list of problems that enemies suffer from is endless, and it's without a doubt the issue I've spent the most time trying to solve, but I just couldn't find a way to solve it:
(etc, etc...)
About that, although I never commented it, some time ago by mistake, I lost a version of the project in which among other things I tried to solve that aspect, realigning all the animations and modifying some parameters of Sonic's physics.
I don't want to delve too much into this topic, but even though I had managed to make a considerable improvement, at that moment I came to the conclusion that without the collaboration of some hacker to help me understand or edit Sonic's hitbox I would never manage to solve this problem completely.
Spoiler
As an aside, those who follow this project will be able to guess approximately when this happened, since it happened on that occasion where a few days after I announced that I would publish the 1.0 version of the hack, I completely disappeared :P
What happened was that in an effort to not show all the content in the demos I was sharing, I developed several things separately with the intention of integrating them later, but when I was preparing the patch I discovered to my horror that my past self had removed material I shouldn't have ::)
On the other hand, when Sonic hits any enemy he will always be propelled in some direction, if there is an exceptional case where this doesn't happen you should provide a screenshot to document this.

You will be pleased to know that both the sound controller, as well as the soundtrack have been replaced since 2017, thanks to the work of Ti_ (Programmer/Hacker) and Amilgi (Composer).
Also the sound driver code was updated on 02/26/2020 mainly improving its performance and reducing its memory consumption :thumbsup:
In short, although I think this game still has a lot of potential for improvement, I've reached the point that without the collaboration and commitment of more people I can't contribute anything significant on my own.
Nowadays, I've discovered almost everything about how the scenarios work, the transition screens, the animation engine, the location of each object and enemy, among many other things.
Also from my experience hacking other similar games, I can think of many things that could be implemented to take full advantage of the game resources, but I don't know the programming language of the NES ;)
So by any chance are we going to be able to finally add Scrap Brain Zone (Make Scrap Brain Zone playable normally), and change the level layouts to those of the Genesis version?
Also, is there a possibility that an alternate version that replaces Marble zone with Bridge Zone, Spring Yard Zone with Jungle Zone, and Star Light Zone with Sky Base Zone? (Bridge Zone, Jungle Zone, and Sky Base Zone are zones used in the Game Gear version of Sonic 1)
It's been a long time since I started, so nowadays I don't have the same interest I had in this game, but anyway if someone with enough knowledge and commitment got involved, I'd still be willing to help.
On the other hand, this project is not looking to recreate the Game Gear or Megadrive version, but to get the best out of this unlicensed port, so if I had the means I think it would be better to focus on the mechanics and level design.
Currently, I have the most efficient method for editing levels, but I don't quite understand the criteria for repositioning objects and enemies, and if I resize a level that has Eggman or is a special stage, it will appear without any elements.

I still find it strange that a game with such an interesting engine hasn't been decompiled and studied by now.
It would be great, remove the junk code left after the rom expansion, discard unused CHRs, optimize, the use of graphics for objects and enemies, and update the graphics compression for intro scenes to the one implemented by Hummer Team in more recent games like SF3, among other things.
So far I found repeated code from Sonic's animations, in four different sectors and a duplicate of the oxygen timer, from the Labyrinth zone.
CHR tiles not used in the game, including some that belong to a programming block in the "Somari Team presents" screen. Which was discarded in this version, plus the highlighted images are parts of that duplicate code.

This is an example of how you could optimize the use of enemy graphics in the first zone.

In the following file you can see how Sonic's animations are structured, managing something like this manually is an inhuman task, instead, calculating these pointers for a compiler takes seconds, making it a reality to improve or change the player's animations.

In conclusion, any of these optimizations would have a positive impact on the game, reducing the rom size and allowing it to be played on cheap everdrives, providing enough space to improve the programming or include new sound effects, without complicating with unnecessary hijack codes, not to mention that after the project is finished, this engine could be transformed to create new homebrews.
...Yeah, this bootleg seriously needs improvements on the gameplay side. You STILL can't spin-dash into the enemies, as you lose rings and they stay alive
Oh cool, some NES sprites and tile sets for Somari's Scrap Brain Zone.

It's still not possible to add Scrap Brain Zone due to limitations, but it's still pretty cool.
Being one of the first to try out this hack, you should know that the aesthetics of the elements of that stage have been completely revamped.
So unless you plan to implement this area in the Hummer or Family Kid version (which is unlikely) I don't see much use in showing me this stuff... :P
To justify this unnecessary update, he commented that I tried to reduce the size of the rom, in order to make it compatible with the most basic
everdrives. Unfortunately, although I have managed to reduce, 104kb, I have not been able to reach the goal of 512kb, so that it works in the most basic

Given this fact and without any certainty that I have made a mistake in the process, I have decided to discard this change, to avoid possible inconveniences. If you still want to try it at your own risk and comment on your expertise, you can help me reconsider this decision :thumbsup:

Sorry it took so long, but I was finally able to put together a complete draft of an updated soundtrack and set of SFX! :laugh:

The only non-vanilla FamiTracker effect I made use of is MXY (delayed volume offset, X = ticks, Y = volume). Could be tweaked to avoid it, but it's very useful in certain spots.
I expect this version to be larger in size than the original, but I could probably find ways to optimize if needed.
Very much looking for thoughts, comments, and suggestions!
My notes on everything are below:
Overall:
- Cleaned up the drum mixing
- Fixed a lot of track tempos to better match the originals.
- Tried to keep everything fairly accurate to the genesis original where possible but took some creative liberties in places.
- Stuffed in some echos where it made sense
- Tried to keep most of the themes at similar volumes. Getting SFX volumes right without hearing them in the hack is a crapshoot, might have to do a beta then tweak from there.
- Tried to keep most of the sfx solely on pulse 2. If there were any sustained notes on pulse 2 in the music, I replay the note during it so it doesn't get cut off for an extended duration.
Notes on the music:
Spoiler
Title:
Not sure if the same-channel echos actually work that well here
Green Hill:
So many choices for how to cover this, given all the backing elements. Trying to overlap mostly sounded bad. Can choose between square pulses, horns, strings, the lower horn melody, etc. Stuck in a melody echo in spots.
I experimented with using the master system version which could work too.
Bassline feels a little high, so I tried dropping an octave and using the master system strategy of octave hopping F-2 F-2 F-2 F-3, but then the last section was super low and felt off.
Marble:
Cleaned up, better mixing, added variable noise drum pitch in the background, added echo to lead where possible. Lead is maybe a little quiet?
Spring Yard:
idk what I was doing the first time around but this is WAY better now. Fixed the tempo and swing, added some flair in spots, same channel echos, bends, etc.. Pretty happy with this.
Labyrinth:
Fairly similar to before, adding backing square chimes in the main section alongside the echo.
Star Light:
Dropped the bassline an octave. I could see going one higher, but I feel the low bass makes this a bit more...sleepy? relaxing? idk I feel it fits more. Sounds better on my headphones than speakers though.
Same-channel echo for backing elements. Echo on lead sounds off. Added a high-pitched chime in the final section
Final:
Similar to first. Same-channel echo for pulse 2 in spots.
Could maybe flip pulse 1 and 2, not sure which is less disrupted by SFX.
SMS Special:
My original attempt at this was wayyy too loud in comparison to the other tracks. I tried to quiet it some, including a DPCM offset to mute the bass/noise a bit.
Boss:
The genesis lead is actually 2 octaves higher, but it sounds way too shrill on the 2a03. I think lowering the lead 2 octaves like I did in the original sounds much more balanced and a bit darker (appropriate for a boss theme imo). More same-channel echo in places. Much better drum mixing.
Stage Clear:
I noticed this one starts a little awkwardly in the hack, transitioning from whatever level theme. A band-aid fix might just be to add a few blank ticks to the start of this and halt/reset all the channels.
Drowning:
Tried for better mixing and tempo matching.
Invincibility:
Improved a bit, cleaner overall.
Ending:
Sounds fine. Single-channel echoes kinda eh in places. Final lead is an octave low, too shrill otherwise.
Credits:
Better tempo matching. Mostly copied from other themes
Unused in the hack:
Scrap Brain:
Very similar to the first time. Slightly improved mixing and backing horns.
Special:
Similar to original, added squares in spots to pulse 2.
Chaos Emerald:
Only uses the pulses now.
Extra Life:
Not much to say
Continue:
Not much to say
Notes on the sfx:
Spoiler
Ring - Very close to matching (genesis/SMS are very similar), but could play with the volume a bit.
Ring Loss - Very close to the genesis, but current uses both pulses. Sounds much richer this way and better matches the genesis. Since getting hit is disruptive maybe cutting off both channels makes sense. If it's too much, this can be condensed to one channel and still sound OK.
Jump - Pitch & timing should be very close, volume might need a bit of tweaking.
Skid - Genesis was 2 channels, but condensing them to one sounds almost identical. Should be very close to perfect.
Badnik/Monitor: Sounds a bit off due to the pulse overtones. Tough one to match, could try copying the master system instead. Switching to linear pitch bends might help, but I'd have to adjust all the music.
Boss Hit: Matching noise is tricky, could maybe be tuned up a bit
Death - Different key from the genesis, but as low as the NES pulse goes. Correct key sounds too high pitched, close-ish otherwise.
Signpost/Checkpoint: Kinda a placeholder, need to know how this is programmed.
Air Bubble - Tough to match with just a pulse, but not too bad.
Spindash/Roll - Can't seem to get this one quite right. Could go for master system style instead.
Spring - Decent, not perfect.
Points Counter: Matches note. Is this currently just the ring sfx being re-used? Should also make this count quicker if possible
SFX that could potentially be added to the hack:
Bumper - Not a perfect copy but decent. Definitely needs both pulses for the chorus effect.
Shield - OK, pulse is expectedly less "round"
Spikes - A little off, needs some tuning
Other potential SFXs I didn't do:
Fireball
Electricity
Continue Obtained
Spindash Rev
Drowned
Splash (Enter Water)
Ding Ding (Underwater)
Cha-Ching (Points Tallied)

I'm sorry for asking a very stupid question... can you tell me which rom file to use for patching?
diablo666
I guess it doesn't work, I tried the right rom file and it didn't work. I tried using the other rom files and all it said was "Not intended for this ROM." I guess it needs to be an actual patch or we have to wait until V1.5 gets released, if anything I'd be waiting for that as well as the premiere of Sonic Movie 2.

For the Doraemon version, I remember seeing footage of the final zone in Waixing's Doraemon and there I see is a weird looking Eggman wannabe character with a dog's face. I just had to recreate it in some way possible but had to do some serious changes as well as giving it a name. Some on Spriters Resource consider the character to be called Barkeggamon, Robarknik, or Wantamagon but man was it so confusing to find the right one.

I recommend you to take into account that it belongs to the GoodNES3.14 pack and use the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)online patcher (http://www.romhacking.net/patch/) on this page or I don't know, update the one you use? :(

I apologize for taking so long to respond, but I wanted to have the opportunity to listen to the original soundtrack, so I could have a better informed opinion.
Unfortunately, I had to speed up this process a bit, due to the doubts that arose about the application of the patch from the last demo that I published.
I must start by confessing that I feel great affection for the first version of the OST, so trying to be objective in this case is a great challenge for me, I have been really surprised with the changes it has made.
I don't know how to express it, but in general I feel the melody is much more alive, with less strident and clear sounds, but even so, not only does it not lose strength, but it is more forceful and uniform (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwx-08aa0265-aa7d-4e27-b815-979a774c54f7.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3eC0wOGFhMDI2NS1hYTdkLTRlMjctYjgxNS05NzlhNzc0YzU0ZjcuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.YZ14-YgmSJGg9xZjoTw0MRhj5EY1WbWORl7MEoJtidw)
So everything I say below may be completely subjective.
● In the track Title, from the original game, there is a fade effect at the end of the melody, in your version it seems to cut off abruptly...
● And although I understand why the change is due, both the opening of the theme of Scrap Brain and Final Zone, they feel strange, but I think I could get used to it.
● As a final comment, I think it would be better to separate the effect of Spindash from that of Roll, although since it is not my area, I do not know if this statement is correct.
After that, I have nothing left to do but thank you and congratulate you for such a magnificent job, greetings! :beer:

What happens with a clone system, is that it is practically impossible to establish if it is not a problem caused by the architecture of it, besides my question is not focused on establishing whether the game works on real hardware, as many have been able to run it without problems by this means, eg. JetPackTails (A channel that I highly recommend, it's a lot of fun!)

About my projects, if I'm frank, after my mother passed away, I spent a lot of time depressed, so I left everything behind? (I'm not interested in going deeper into this).
Anyway, I must say that although I haven't published my hacks in RHDN, I've been sharing them through my networks or my friends' groups, moreover, I've also worked on several new projects, although I'm not going to lie, nowadays, I'm not as excited as before, so I don't dedicate much to spread it, I just keep going because I have the knowledge and skill, not to mention that many people are happy about these things.

About that, if you look at the first zone of the Doraemon game, they replace Eggman by a bear, so I imagine that the design of the final zone also corresponds to another animal, either a bear or a badly drawn monkey...

my condolences Sics
maybe this new 1.5 version will be playable on real hardware

I can't help you find your rom, but I just searched for it using the information provided and the patch does work, what surprises me the most is that it didn't take me even 2 minutes to do it... :-\

I recommend you to take into account that it belongs to the GoodNES3.14 pack and use the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)online patcher (http://www.romhacking.net/patch/) on this page or I don't know, update the one you use? :(

I apologize for taking so long to respond, but I wanted to have the opportunity to listen to the original soundtrack, so I could have a better informed opinion.
Unfortunately, I had to speed up this process a bit, due to the doubts that arose about the application of the patch from the last demo that I published.
I must start by confessing that I feel great affection for the first version of the OST, so trying to be objective in this case is a great challenge for me, I have been really surprised with the changes it has made.
I don't know how to express it, but in general I feel the melody is much more alive, with less strident and clear sounds, but even so, not only does it not lose strength, but it is more forceful and uniform (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/dd34pwx-08aa0265-aa7d-4e27-b815-979a774c54f7.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzNhMmVlNWYyLTEwODgtNDg3YS1iM2MxLTBhYjdkYzMwNzU4N1wvZGQzNHB3eC0wOGFhMDI2NS1hYTdkLTRlMjctYjgxNS05NzlhNzc0YzU0ZjcuZ2lmIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.YZ14-YgmSJGg9xZjoTw0MRhj5EY1WbWORl7MEoJtidw)
So everything I say below may be completely subjective.
● In the track Title, from the original game, there is a fade effect at the end of the melody, in your version it seems to cut off abruptly...
● And although I understand why the change is due, both the opening of the theme of Scrap Brain and Final Zone, they feel strange, but I think I could get used to it.
● As a final comment, I think it would be better to separate the effect of Spindash from that of Roll, although since it is not my area, I do not know if this statement is correct.
After that, I have nothing left to do but thank you and congratulate you for such a magnificent job, greetings! :beer:

What happens with a clone system, is that it is practically impossible to establish if it is not a problem caused by the architecture of it, besides my question is not focused on establishing whether the game works on real hardware, as many have been able to run it without problems by this means, eg. JetPackTails (A channel that I highly recommend, it's a lot of fun!)

About my projects, if I'm frank, after my mother passed away, I spent a lot of time depressed, so I left everything behind? (I'm not interested in going deeper into this).
Anyway, I must say that although I haven't published my hacks in RHDN, I've been sharing them through my networks or my friends' groups, moreover, I've also worked on several new projects, although I'm not going to lie, nowadays, I'm not as excited as before, so I don't dedicate much to spread it, I just keep going because I have the knowledge and skill, not to mention that many people are happy about these things.

Sorry it took so long, but I was finally able to put together a complete draft of an updated soundtrack and set of SFX! :laugh:
The only non-vanilla FamiTracker effect I made use of is MXY (delayed volume offset, X = ticks, Y = volume). Could be tweaked to avoid it, but it's very useful in certain spots.
I expect this version to be larger in size than the original, but I could probably find ways to optimize if needed.
Very much looking for thoughts, comments, and suggestions!
oh, ok.
I sent url to test version in PM to you and sics.
'MXY' added to driver, hope it works correct.
New SFX's all inserted, but not all events coded yet.
New music works, except 'credits' for now.
For new music what is the reason of using Z0x effect on pcm column. Sometimes it writes a single byte value from 1 to 4 to $4011, is there's some feature?
For new sfx, I think they are quieter.

First of all, thank you very much, for this new improvement, it's amazing what you are able to do :beer:

Thank you very much.

No problem, it's often a hassle to find the correct version of a rom, but remember to always check the attached information :thumbsup:
Otherwise, your game can go bad and make you end up reporting bugs that are not part of the hack, this is not an exaggeration, it has happened... :P

It's not related to new features. Testing in menu - seems star light song freezes. I will fix.
Some of my notes about new version:
Quote1) ring has incorrect scale compared to sonic and sprite-rings on drop, sonic size smaller than on megadrive, but ring has same size.
2) new secret menu has awful control wrong between up/down and left/right. I use old version for testing sounds.
3) rom size (banks count) not 2^n, some emulators not like sizes like this.
March 28, 2022, 01:58:30 PM - (Auto Merged - Double Posts are not allowed before 7 days.)
Star Light song seems uses tremolo effect. But driver was optimized for first version OST, all unused features were removed. If this effect can't be replaced with other, I will restore this feature later.
Seems you have changed some code in v1.5, this is overrides my code for new springs SFX:
Quote0B:8287: A9 07 LDA #$07
>0B:8289: 85 82 STA $0082 = #$0C
(ROM: $2E297)
I didn't saw this, because was using v1.2 when made new SFX. So you will hear water breath , instead of spring.
This also may produce bugs, because it replaces original code.
It should be restored back to: LDA #0 STA $25. After that you will hear new spring SFX.
I don't know is there other changes, if you know send it to me in PM.
I have taken this feature from another hacker's work, making modifications starting from the following addresses 0x2E29, 0x2E347, 0x2E397, to use that temporary sfx.

But personally I am not convinced, I think that the new designs leave too much evidence of the limitations of the palette of the system, when this is one of the aspects that I most considered when working with the art of this game.
I understand that in addition to the mismatch between the two graphics, its excessive size has also been highlighted, which makes me wonder if with a more effective design these could be better adapted to those restrictions, but personally I never managed to overcome the great work of FuriousHedgehog in this section... (https://orig00.deviantart.net/1823/f/2019/091/5/9/ups_by_terwilf-dd3jmae.gif)
2) New secret menu has awful control wrong between up/down and left/right. I use old version for testing sounds.Yes, in fact, I made that change taking into account the word of a colleague who proposed to improve this aspect, without my requesting anything, but after I informed him that I had completed my part of the work, he answered me excusing himself and disappeared...

Maybe I should go back to the previous version, if I didn't do it before, it was because I felt sorry for all the work I put into this, but after a while of not testing the hack I confess that it is complicated even for me to navigate those menus :P
3) Rom size (banks count) not 2^n, some emulators not like sizes like this.That wasn't the final version and as I mentioned I was thinking of discarding it....

Given this fact and without any certainty that I have made a mistake in the process, I have decided to discard this change, to avoid possible inconveniences. If you still want to try it at your own risk and comment on your expertise, you can help me reconsider this decision :thumbsup:
At most, if someone proved to find this modification useful, I planned to include it as part of the extra content.
If you want it here, there is the correct patch, although the way I document every single thing I do, I can relatively easily revert these changes, that's why I didn't mention anything...

Note: Reverted the spring coding change back to its original version.On the other hand, is there any chance of recovering the functionality that played the melody on the continue screen?
After the previous update of the sound engine, I noticed that at 0x7ED06 (near the continues screen data) there are a significant amount of changes that I suspect are related to the current behavior change in this section.
Finally, and this is already an open question addressed to anyone with the knowledge to answer, about the following problem that I detailed below in this quote:
Quote from: sics on October 18, 2020, 10:45:12 AM
What I couldn't help but notice is the horrible color transition that the game has when switching screens:
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/3a2ee5f2-1088-487a-b3c1-0ab7dc307587/de75snb-4dd151f2-39ae-4372-87fb-e30c9b365d37.gif?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3sicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvM2EyZWU1ZjItMTA4OC00ODdhLWIzYzEtMGFiN2RjMzA3NTg3XC9kZTc1c25iLTRkZDE1MWYyLTM5YWUtNDM3Mi04N2ZiLWUzMGM5YjM2NWQzNy5naWYifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6ZmlsZS5kb3dubG9hZCJdfQ.NVmhmBKvetegoOmZfSJYIScip4OuEACHaSFC5yYvhMg)
At first I thought that it would be enough to modify the palette so that the white color was located in another position, but when doing so, the same thing continued to happen with white, I imagine it must be a residue of a discarded feature, perhaps they would have planned to reuse this screen in some way in the level selector, since their data continues to be loaded when entering this secret menu, which does not happen in the rest of the transitions with this itself.

Anyway, I would like to find a way to disable that function, since it is not aesthetic at all, so if someone has the knowledge to give me a hand I would be eternally grateful :thumbsup:
I've noticed that I can work around that problem by replacing $34 with $F4 at address 0x7F358, but this supposed solution is based on guesses I got based solely on my experience adapting title screens on the NES.
So I wonder if this is just chance or there really are logical bases behind the correction of behavior in the fading effect of introductory screens.

For new music what is the reason of using Z0x effect on pcm column. Sometimes it writes a single byte value from 1 to 4 to $4011, is there's some feature?
For new sfx, I think they are quieter.
Thanks for the quick work on the test ROM!
ZXX is the DPCM offset (7 bit value, 00-7F) which has the side effect of reducing the volume of the triangle & noise - I used it in the SMS special stage, opening section of the credits, and to fade out the triangle on the title/ending themes very slightly.
Sadly it makes an annoying click/pop that gets louder the larger the change in value, making it tricky to use for fades (unless you use module speed 1 to adjust it slightly every frame haha). The values are small when I fade the bass at the end to keep it from clicking.
From my understanding, the reason why this works is that the DPCM+noise+triangle all share an output volume, and due to a defect/bug in the NES DAC, that volume gets more compressed the greater their combined value. The offset serves to push the tri/noise further into that compressed region.

Star Light song seems uses tremolo effect. But driver was optimized for first version OST, all unused features were removed. If this effect can't be replaced with other, I will restore this feature later.
Ah that was a leftover on my part, I had used it at some point but must not have removed it.

Updated sountrack and sfx:

+ Made all the sfx a little louder
+ Trimmed common sfx to be a bit shorter (less cutoff)
+ Condensed ring loss sfx to 1 channel
+ Adjusted stage themes to always put the most prominent lead onto channel 1 (not sure about final zone...may have to experiment a bit)
+ Added a slight fade to lead on title/ending
+ Removed useless 7XY effects from Star Light
Regarding the spindash/roll sound, I tried to match the roll sound from Sonic 1 (crouch while running).
In Sonic 2, a similar sound plays whenever you rev the spindash, then a different sound plays when you release.
If anyone is up to the task of implementing that behavior in this hack (or any other sfx like the shield, extra life, splashing into water, spikes, etc.), let me know and I'll remake the relevant sfx if I haven't already.
Marble Zone sounds incorrect in PAL/Dendy. Seems it's related to 'MXY' effect.
I checked 0cc 0.3.15.1 , 0.3.15.3 , j0CC 0.6.3 , and Dn-FamiTracker, everywhere it sounds wrong.
I don't know if this can be fixed.
I may force NTSC tempo for this track in PAL mode, while keeping PAL tempo for others. This will make played it slowly, but correct.

Do you know is it needed to turn bit #4 = 1 in $4015 (DMC enable) if using this technique?
In test rom DMC channel disabled. Does reducing volume works in test rom?

Sent
test version 2 in PM to Amilgi and sics.
All music and sfx from the latest file. Ending theme song works + old special stage in menu - #33.
Added music event on extra life and shield.
I downloaded the Somari (Unl) [b3].nes rom to apply the v1.5 patch but the game does not open, the screen is gray
Note: We have created a private discord, to improve communication with those who are part of this team ;)

This project is not called
Somari Improvement Vol.2, read the notepad before wasting words, patches are not magic, you need to use the right rom for it to work, the next one that tells me the same thing I'm going to ignore it :P

I can't help you find your rom, but I just searched for it using the information provided and the patch does work, what surprises me the most is that it didn't take me even 2 minutes to do it... :-\

I recommend you to take into account that it belongs to the GoodNES3.14 pack and use the (http://www.bwass.org/bucket/L2.png)online patcher (http://www.romhacking.net/patch/) on this page or I don't know, update the one you use? :(
Besides, it doesn't cost anything to find out if someone else has gone through the same thing (https://orig00.deviantart.net/972b/f/2019/087/3/e/nono_by_terwilf-dd38dxp.gif)

My mistake... I admit it... I used rоm file SOMARI.
Congratulations for the great improvement work from all areas :thumbsup:, it is also a great team and the melodies are heard much better now... thank you very much for so much magic :woot!:

What do you want? If you don't say anything, people can't guess... (https://orig00.deviantart.net/9ce5/f/2019/086/c/3/what_by_terwilf-dd34pvz.gif)
I saw it is, it's a custom Hummer Team sprite sheet of Knuckles. It's not bad, but still you guys should probably say something instead of being quiet.
Although the
Sonic Improvement Vol.2 project is the result of a collective effort, I must recognize that in this last stage, the work of Ti_ & Amilgi was fundamental, making the hack has given a qualitative leap in quality.
It's really hard to list all the changes that the project has undergone lately, but I guess you'd like to know some of these new features:
Updated the rendering engine, it is now even faster and adds hiding lines for areas outside the drawing area (Optimized for PAL).
(https://bit.ly/3wT7SZv)
Improved Sonic's controller driver and optimized his code.
Rewrote the ring drop code (Now it is possible to set more than 3 rings)
Changed Sonic's behavior when shooting enemies or destroying monitors.
(https://bit.ly/3aeCnS2) Green Hill Zone - Uncommented gameplay (https://youtu.be/gkZzXpCbPZo)
Altered the underwater physics (Sonic no longer slides).
The bubble generation interval of the dispensers was improved.
Sonic now releases bubbles underwater (Like Megadrive).
(https://bit.ly/38slVNK)
A new drowning sequence was created.
(https://bit.ly/3LNxmwV)
The superspeed shoe monitor has been added.
Sonic can now destroy monitors from almost any direction.
(https://bit.ly/3wPxSWS)
Improved the invulnerability shield (It was full of problems, that's why it was originally only used in Green Hill).
Fixed the color attributes of several Sonic frames.
Repositioned various Sonic animations.
(https://bit.ly/3MUsaJ8)
Enemies can no longer attack you when they are off-screen!
Changed the behavior of Buzz Bombers and Crabmeats, they now fire at predetermined intervals.
(It will be necessary to relocate most of the enemies to take advantage of this change).
Chaos Emeralds were implemented. + Collect 7 and you get the good ending (and Super Sonic in the game).
+ Now you get to continue collecting them.
+ Your emeralds are displayed in the HUD at the end of the bonus.
+ Corrected the name of the
Special stage at the start of the bonus.
+ Bonus lives are now earned by collecting 200 rings.
(https://bit.ly/3yXceBH) (https://bit.ly/3PN0Kqa)
As I mentioned the Super Sonic transformation was implemented.
Upon meeting the requirements, you can activate it by collecting 50 rings. In this mode Sonic becomes invulnerable and considerably increases his speed, while your rings are deducted. When it reaches zero, the transformation is finished.
In general, an infinity of historical errors have been solved, among them those that allowed breaking the game in the confrontation against Eggman in the Labyrinth area.He has also supplemented the programming of some Bosses, adjusted some characteristics of others and worked with other issues related to everything related to said confrontations.
Eggman's color attribute system has been improved, allowing him to improve his graphics. I leave some comparative images:
(https://bit.ly/39YALvR)
(https://bit.ly/3sZtT89)
Not only that, in addition to this improvement Ti_ decompiled the sector that manages these frames of Eggman, so it is possible to improve a little more the final escape sequence...
(https://bit.ly/3Gpsehr)
Now the capsules show the animals in the level and their paddles can be selected independently in each zone.
(https://bit.ly/3GoOqbp)
On the other hand, one of the changes that has brought the game to life the most was the soundtrack update, plus a lot of new SFX has been added, not to mention that all the existing ones have been revamped.+ SFX Drowning (New animation)
+ SFX By gaining a life.
+ SFX When going down a slide.
+ SFX Harpoons and Spikes.
+ SFX Chaos Emerald.
+ SFX Explosions Bomb-Bomu.
+ SFX Fire (Marble Zone)
+ SFX Shield Monitor.
+ SFX Springs.
+ SFX Bumper (Spring Yard)
+ SFX Shield Loss.
+ SFX Fire Projectile (Marble, Labyrinth, Star Light)
+ Eggman's SFX completed.
SFX now play only if the element producing the sound is on screen.
Music for continues has been restored.
Added the SEGA intro, proposed by Macbee (including digitized voice).

If you're open minded to flickering tricks it's possible to achieve a more "16-bitish" Sega logo - like this one I did 7 years ago:
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D0xMxthXgAAciyx.png)
NES Rom link (in case you want to study it): https://t.co/icJnK8b1KR (https://t.co/icJnK8b1KR)
The level selection menu has been reprogrammed, improving its controls, updating its graphics and including Scrap Brain* in the list of Zones (You heard that right).
(https://bit.ly/3wQsMJ0)
Regarding the selection menu, I am very excited to comment that we used a little graphic trick to put twice as many graphics in the same space. It consists of superimposing 2 different sprites in the same mosaic, using the color attributes to hide one, while showing the other and vice versa.
(https://bit.ly/3MWtcnS)
On the other hand, we improved the bad ending sequence, we also included credits with the names of all the members of the project, we designed the screen for the good ending, including the angry Eggman sequence.
(https://bit.ly/3LSxhrY) (https://bit.ly/38T0MfN)
* Regarding Scrap Brain, a completely new zone was added with the objective of designing said level, and we are currently looking for people who are interested in helping to fulfill this or any of our objectives, so if you are interested in being part of this little piece of history you can contact us here or in any of my social networks.
Great Project, every time it gets better, thank you very much :thumbsup: :beer:
holy shizz, if you told me 25 years ago sonic would be on the nes i would have never believed you. This has gotten 10x better keep up the good work man! :thumbsup:
(http://www.segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/NP_classic_modern.jpg)
The work you and your team have made is incredible, this hack would set a new standard into Sonic hacks for Nes or it could become the base for future hacks.
Keep the good work! :thumbsup:
The hack has improved so much that it can be said that it has become at least a "DEMAKE" version of an older brother.
I look at the total work and say straight out: "A huge job that really justifies itself. I'll wait for the final version. And so: THANK YOU very much for the work done. And your testers who accepted the job, and the main figure in this hack, and even you, because you were able to promote this hack (not without the help of others, of course) - to a new level"
May 23, 2022, 12:30:46 PM - (About the post that is above this.)
I agree with NiO - it will now become one of the standards in Somari Hacks
This is barely a hack of Somari anymore. Why? Because all these improvements... the fixes... the Chaos Emeralds... Super Sonic... everything is about to be so flawless! :cookie:
Quick question: How will you design Scrap Brain Zone sics?
It's pretty cool that we'll get to finally see a Scrap Brain Zone, the good ending, the SEGA logo, and Super Sonic in this game. Good Work guys.
I still hope the final version of this hack uses the Master System/Gamer Gear Special Stage music, since that was what the original bootleg used.
Thank you very much for your nice comments, we work very hard to give the best. By the way, in my previous comment I shared a gameplay where you can listen to some music work done by Amilgi for the hack NES Boy (https://bit.ly/3aeCnS2) Special Stage (https://youtu.be/gkZzXpCbPZo?t=93) :thumbsup:
sics: great work, this update was all i wanted in this game, is the patch already in romhackin to download? :thumbsup:
Nop
I would like to see if Sonic Classic will be a playable character in the 1.5 version of the hack.

He will be... expect, it's going to be a seperate patch.
This hack is getting so much improvement it's INSANE.
This is quite a great project! I hope I get to try it out once it's released! :thumbsup:

It's a good and accurate Knuckles.
This really is just becoming my favorite ROM hack of a bootleg, at this point it may as well not be associated with bootlegs anymore, this is a proper quality NES game by now.
I really only have a few small quips with what's been shown by now:
-Time bonus seems to be a static 2000 points regardless of your finishing time in an act
-Invincibility is still 15 seconds long rather than 20 seconds like the original game, speed shoes also shorter than original game
-Low-pitched SEGA chant
Things I would look into, essentially. Me myself, I'd preferribly also have the level design from the 16 bit mega drive game but I'd imagine that would simply be too much.
Genuinely hoping to play this soon!

So am I. In fact, I can still wait until something comes up. Rom-Hacks take time and I'm sure the progress will be shown off real soon. Rn, we just need to hang in there.
