    Yeah, anti-leech it was.
    Nice videos, btw. I'm going to rapidshare them for future reference.

    edit: done.

    I think the star ball Robotnik uses looks a bit stupid, im glad they changed that for the Final release. 50 Rings = 1 Up isn't normal Sonic behaviour I prefer it to be 100.

    I agree with you, but if this is a “Sonic 1 Beta Remake” must reproduce the maximum of "beta features".
    Memember it this a "Sonic 1 Beta Remake" and not a "Sonic 1 Delta" where everything that we want would be in on the full game.

    Also, is it really possible to edit the ring threshold for the extra life? And, why do you get an extra life only at 100 and 200, and not every 100?

    Changing the number of rings required for an extra life is as simple as changing a word in the ring object code. When you get 100 rings, a flag is set to stop you losing your rings and getting 100 again. Same goes for 200 rings. After that, the game is programmed not to allow you to get any more lives, regardless of ring amounts. This can also be easily changed.

    Just to let everyone know that I am still working on this hack, I added and improved on a few things I didn't get the chance to change or add before I released version 0.01.


    Animated pillar rings in MZ

    I am also in the process of touching up the UFO's, so they look more realistic( last time they were resized from that one set of tiles, and They kinda looked resized, and odd.)

    more detailed, and animated MZ Lava

    If my memory serves me correctly he has splats the bunny in Star Light Zone, im sure it wouldnt be too difficult to make it appear in Green Hill Zone.

    Eh... If you ask me, you wouldn't fare too badly with some dithering on that lava pattern. It'd make it look more detailed.

    If this represents the beta lava, I've never seen it. Do you have the screenshot you used as a reference for it?

    isn't there a prototype Marble Zone shot which shows you messed up tiles in mid air and you can see the Lava pattern? I believe its similar to this BETA Remake.

    I thought in the 0.01, Splat the bunny's movements were very odd, and his mapping was off, because he would be in the floor when he stood still.

    that's normal because he replaced the Grounder robot's graphics.

    That was a mistake in the positioning with the mappings, that will be fixed in the upcoming version. and as for the movement, it was odd because I couldn't figure out in ASM what instruction caused him to stop for a second. I got Splats working almost perfectly now.

    There were some things I noticed when I first played this, but I didn't bother to mention them at the time for one reason or another... anyway, the two that I remember were the filesize and the Sega sound. Their target cart size was 512k, so it shouldn't ever have been any larger than that. Also, the Sega sound was a last minute replacement for another feature they wanted to work in but didn't have time to implement. When they had to trash the animated sound test menu they wanted, they decided to throw in the Sega sound as space-filler. I was just thinking that taking care of those issues would help further it's "genuineness"

    I have another question, Will the un-used special stage icons be used, if not, you could take them out for a little space.
