For anyone who's worked with Sonic 2 before, you'll notice that managing music can be a bit of a hassle. Music has to be in a specific location, has to stay within a certain sound bank... and there's a limited number of sounds you can have in the game. However, the sound driver in Sonic 1 is entirely written in 68k (except for the DAC driver), making it much easier to edit, and much easier to manage music with. You can place music data anywhere, as the pointers use relative addressing, and there are no limitations on where you can place music data.

So, when Puto comes to me with his own port of the Sonic 1 sound driver, and said he had problems, I showed him a personal port that Esrael made for Sonic 2 Megamix. Together, we were able to fully patch up all the issues that the driver has when ported to Sonic 2. Therefore, we decided we'd make a guide, that, when followed correctly, allows anybody to use the Sonic 1 sound driver in their hack! Included below is the Sonic 1 sound driver in its own seperate ASM file, which you can edit freely, along with the original folder structure for the sound driver's music data, sound data, etc.

Anyway, on with the guide!

---------------------------------------------------

Okay, first we're going to get the actual driver to load. Go to loc_45E, which should be this:
Syntax Highlighted Code: ASM
loc_45E:[color= #adadad; font-style: italic;]; CODE XREF: ROM:000004C2j[/color]

[color= #adadad; font-style: italic;]; ROM:00000562j ...[/color]

		[color= #00bfff;]movem[/color].[color= #00bfff;]l[/color]	(sp)+,d0-a6

		[color= #00bfff;]rte[/color]


And change it to this...

Next, go to sub_130A, which should be this:

Next find sub_1370, and find this:

Now, we're going to fix the broken sound effects, such as rings. Look for sub_1376. It should be this:

Next, we're going to fix the music so it stops correctly when you pause. Find loc_13A6, which should be this:

Now, we're going to fix the underwater palettes, since the sound driver uses some space in RAM that, in S2, is used for underwater palettes. Do a search and replace (ctrl+h) and replace all instances of "$FFFFF08" with "$FFFFFA8" - what this will do is make the game read from the Sonic 1 location for underwater palettes, which is unused in S2, and unaffected by the sound driver.

Next, go to sub_2764. This is the Sonic 2 equivalent of "PalLoad4_Water" in Sonic 1, and what we're going to do is change a line in it to match the Sonic 1 routine, so the underwater palettes load to the correct address. The routine should look like this:
Syntax Highlighted Code: ASM
sub_2764:[color= #adadad; font-style: italic;]; CODE XREF: ROM:000042E4p[/color]

		[color= #00bfff;]lea[/color]	(PalPoint).[color= #00bfff;]l[/color],a1

		[color= #00bfff;]lsl[/color].[color= #00bfff;]w[/color]	[color= #ff0000;]#[/color][color= #ff0000;]3[/color],d0

		[color= #00bfff;]adda[/color].[color= #00bfff;]w[/color]	d0,a1

		[color= #00bfff;]movea[/color].[color= #00bfff;]l[/color]	(a1)+,a2

		[color= #00bfff;]rts[/color]	

[color= #adadad; font-style: italic;]; End of function sub_2764[/color]


Change it to this:
Syntax Highlighted Code: ASM
sub_2764:[color= #adadad; font-style: italic;]; CODE XREF: ROM:000042E4p[/color]

		[color= #00bfff;]lea[/color]	(PalPoint).[color= #00bfff;]l[/color],a1

What this does is change how much the game subtracts from $FB00, in order to calculate the location to move underwater palettes to.

The last thing we have to do in order to fix underwater palettes for good is to change a VDP instruction, which is what changes the palette fully to the underwater pallete once you're deep enough underwater, and the raster effects are no longer in effect. Do a search and replace for "-$69076AC0" and replace all instances of it with "$96FD9540" - this will make sure that when you're deep enough underwater, the correct palette is loaded.

The final step is to grab a slightly modified version of the Sonic 1 sound driver from Hivebrain's 2005 Sonic 1 disassembly (link below), and insert it into the Sonic 2 disassembly - the location does not matter, though I personally reccomend the end of the ROM. You can also delete the Sonic 2 sound driver now, if you wish, though it is not required to do so.

You can either use the include directive to insert S1 Sound Driver.asm, or you can simply copy/paste what's in there. Either will be sufficient.

NOTE: Certain sound effects and music from Sonic 2 WILL be missing, and you WILL need to add these yourself if you wish to still have them in game. To add a sound effect/music, simply tack it at the end of SoundIndex or MusicIndex. You can also get rid of SoundD0Index (and related setup) if you wish, as Sonic 2 does not have any sound effects that require it. Kega may also mess up a tad bit, not sure why - if anyone can figure it out, let us know.

Also, Sega sound is garbled. If you want to use it, either use a custom song, or figure out how to get it working. If anyone figures out how to do the latter, it would be appreciated if you shared your methods.

One thing to be aware of when you do this - you're taking time away from the main program code on the 68k in order to run your music driver now, so the chance for the game to lag is a bit higher.

I'm aware. But, at least in the case of the original Sonic 2, no more noticable lag is induced, even in 2-player splitscreen mode.

Except on the title card, where it has a small amount of lag. You can hear it in the music, but it's not a lot.

I think we no longer have any lag on the title card. Either that, or it's such a small amount, that it's un-noticeable.

I must be unique in wanting to do the exact opposite to what this guide is doing - I'd rather port the Sonic 2 sound driver to Sonic 1 - the Sonic 2 sound driver is far more modular, so it's easier to drag it around as a bundle.

(Besides which there's actually a disassembly of Sonic 1, whereas there isn't one for Sonic 2. :P)

Yea, and an I did that before the ASM times if I remember correctly.

To Fix Sega Sound Change The Following instrunctions:

Edit:
  
Replace  
		move.b  $0F, ($00A00019); Esrael L. G. Neto Add Sonic 1 Sound Driver
  With	 
		move.b  #((SegaPCm>>$10)&$FF), ($00A00019); Esrael L. G. Neto Add Sonic 1 Sound Driver


And
Edit: Use this code before SegaPCM this will calculate Segaaaa Bank

		cnop $0, (((((*+$6978)>>$10)+$01)*$10000)-$6978); Esrael L. G. Neto Auto Detect Bank	
SegaPCM:	
		incbin	sound\segapcm.bin

"Oops". Apparently, I made a mistake when I fixed the water palettes. Here's a fixed version of that part of the guide, with changes in bold:

		move.l	(a2)+,(a3)+
		dbf	d7,loc_277A
		rts	
; End of function sub_2764


Change it to this:
sub_2764:; CODE XREF: ROM:000042E4p
		lea	(PalPoint).l,a1
		lsl.w	#3,d0
		adda.w	d0,a1
		movea.l	(a1)+,a2
		movea.w	(a1)+,a3
		suba.l	#$80,a3; BTW, I changed this too, but you can't put bold in a codebox =P
		move.w	(a1)+,d7

loc_277A:; CODE XREF: sub_2764+18j

Also, for the record, you forgot to credit drx. I couldn't have fixed the underwater palettes without his VDP Calculator =P.

Another edit; this one includes dynamic recalculation of the Sega sound's location, so the Sega sound now works perfectly. Redownload the sound driver files and make the necessary edits if you've already followed this guide before.
