The first would be the ATTACH address for the Spinner's body, the second its blades, right?

[MainMemory]

They're both for the blades.

Got it. Thanks.

It would appear that the Chao system between the 2004 SADX PC release, and the 2010 SADX PC/360/PS3 release has been tampered with. As stated on Chao Island:

Quote

Unfortunately, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Sonic Adventure DX seem to have heavily modified the breeding system, with the changes being for the worst. We still do not know everything about these games work, as they were recently released and not much research has been done. However, it seems that many breeds have been removed from the game and made unobtainable.

I decided to take a look myself, and that seems to be the case. I went into the 2004 SADX PC, and modified the Chao. One Chao is a shiny two-tone Chao, the other is a shiny mono-tone Chao. Not only can these not be obtained normally in the 2010 SADX, but they also seemingly no longer exist in a normal functioning form.

Here are some comparison images:
Monotone 2004 - Monotone 2010
Twotone 2004 - Twotone 2010

tl;dr SADX PC 2010 has nothing going for it except 360 controller support and ADX music and stuff, confirmed.

Oh, don't worry! They're gonna release the missing breeds as DLC!

The hackers back at chao island would most likely fix the coding on the steam edition of the game. I highly doubt for DLC for SADX: DreamCast Collection, especially the fact that it's shit compared to the earlier port of the same game.

Though, unfortunate for me, I have no choice but buy the steam edition since the orignal 2004 port is sold out.

You are kidding, right?

You do know Sold Out Software re-released SADX?

It took me all of five seconds to find this!

[MainMemory]

Just remember if you get that version and want to hack it, you'll have to replace the EXE with the cracked US EXE.

Just purchase one at Ebay, waiting for the shipment. If was unsatified about it, I'll send it back for a full refund.

I tested this and the previous release, and I have the same errors, the first one is when I try to split the chrmodels.dll, when I use the "splitchrmodels.bat" it crash in Big: 12541C => ../Objects/Big/Model.sa1mdl
and the second is in SADXlvl2 when I load a level it also crash, the saved log said this:

System.FormatException: Not a valid SAANIM file.

all this is in a clean sadx, with the original and also a cracked US EXE

[MainMemory]

I don't know what to tell you, since I don't get those errors in my clean copy of SADX.

Another SADXPCTools update:

• Added support for loading GVM files in SAMDL
  
• Fixed loading of SA2 levels

As it turns out, the reason my previous attempts at loading SA2 levels had no collision is because SA2 stores solid models in SA1 format. I don't know why this didn't crash before, but now SA2 levels should load with collision, so it should be easy to import SA2 levels into SADXPC.
