Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: The Taxman - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

Ok, so let's face it... my days producing fan games are well and truly over. But interestingly enough, I just found out that Joseph Waters (Nitemare) who originally worked with Euan has taken it upon himself to reboot the pre-merger(s) Multimedia Fusion version of the game:



I don't know if this is already known but since XG has a bit of a following here and AFAIK Joseph isn't on Retro I thought I'd post it. I don't have anything to do with this, but kudos to Joseph for keeping a promise I can't

Hey gang, I wasn't going to make this public for a little while, but given SEGA's latest blog post, and their upcoming discussions on wednesday it's time for some guerilla marketing!

The question is, do YOU want it? This is more than just one of their emulator ports, we're talking iPhone exclusive enhancements and features (I've got some cool plans)

Yep, it's out. http://toucharcade.com/

It's 100% emulated. I looked inside the app archive, and it contains a file called "rom.bin". Tested it in Kega Fusion and low and behold it ran no worries XD.

Emulation performance is nothing to write home about. It runs at 30fps, with ok but not accurate sound.

Anyone who's got a jailbroken phone could most likely insert different roms and play them too :P

Interesting...

Maybe SEGA scrapped the iPhone port of Sonic 1 and went with this instead.

Yep, after digging up the Pre XG merge build again... I finally sorted out a Mac version.

Go here to get it

It's pretty much identical to the SAGE 2007 build, so there's no point in bug finding (unless it's a critical OSX crash or something) since the Retro-Sonic XG build is now months ahead of that one.

Speaking of which, I may as well spruik a W.I.P few screens while I'm at it!









So yeah... Enjoy!
