Shame it will be obsolete in the (maybe) near future. Haha.

Well at least they had the decency to put the retro logo on the cart sticker...

[Kampfer]

At least that is a decent cover. Have any other hacks on the site been pirated like this?

[Xodras]

The same seller's doing S Factor and MegaMix.

Probably not a good thing... :/

Although it's definitely not a good thing to be selling other people's hacks, I wonder how the community would react to someone selling their own hack?

It's unlikely that Sega will ever see that Ebay listing, but still, it's bad that they're trying to associate this site with piracy (intentionally or not).

The latter would be worse for the community than the former. It would be just begging for Sega to come and slap a big C&D on the whole place.

Agreed. I've always wondered how the projects on this forum have gotten away with what they have, yet projects like Streets of Rage: Remake get C&D'd. The less it looks like that the techies are trying to profiteer off their research and development, the better.

Seeing that cartridge made me think of something... Would it be feasable to make a pass-through cartridge like Sonic & Knuckles with this game?

I don't mean just triggering complete Sonic 1 and 2 Heroes hacks when connecting the respective games, but also have this hack's size reduced and allowing to read the unaltered data (level graphics, sound data, etc) from the respective original cartridges?

That wouldn't make much of a difference, and it wouldn't allow for playing Sonic 2 right after you finish 1, but it would surely be a technical feat.

I can't speak for the rest of the S-Factor team, but I did the art on two zones in that (well, almost - Aquaslash finished one of them) and my reaction is "HOLY FUCK I COULD SEE MY WORK RUNNING ON AN ACTUAL CARTRIDGE". If only I could afford it. It's pure flattery if you ignore the cheek of the profiteering bastard fellow selling the carts.

EDIT

Kinda misread the post, but eh.

Wouldn't recommend anyone trying to sell their own hack for legal reasons. Though it's nice to see someone else deciding it's worth trying to profit from it, I guess. :3

I know the joy of having my hack on cartridge also. I just heard that it's on GBA multicarts. Here's a link of my hack in action.

It's not really that much of a technical feat, code-wise. If the hardware itself was made, that would be, but not the ASM itself. All it takes, really, is pointing to addresses in the area just "above" the ROM itself. I've done many lock-on experiments myself, and make use of it in several places you'd be surprised at. (But, that's something else to be discussed at a later time. )

An actual working custom lock-on cartridge, however, would be awesome.

And I've actually released a hack with lock-on support already.

As have I..
.. just nobody knows which one.. or what the lock-on is..

[Xodras]

I'm digging up old posts, Yaaay.

If all goes well in terms of time, I may release it in January or February.

Happy Friday, the 13th of April!
You wouldn't happen to be able to give us any information on what you've implemented with the extra month and a bit you've had? (I know it was an estimate) We know there's a Team Rose, Super and Hyper planned, but could you offer anything else in terms of things you are happy with?
