Original Topic of pre-release ->Delta v0.24 preview

This version is not the same base (Sonic 2 rev 2 used here) as preview, but the same idea was used here with new features:

- Title Screen is now animated (Sonic 2 Final with Sonic 2 Beta).
- Sonic Object from Sonic 2 Final.
- 7 emeralds, which now enable Super Knuckles, Miles e Sonic.
- Sonic 2 Final Ending sequence with Sonic 1 Credits.
- Sonic 1 Special Stage as Bonus Stage through LampPost with 50 rings.
- HUD added in Bonus Stage
- Sonic 2 Special Stage can be acessed like previews versions (Big Ring at end of levels with 50 rings).
- Sonic 3 Title Cards style.
- New Boss Meter HUD
- Edited Sprites for Sonic 1 Levels to be compatible with Super Sonic / Knuckles / Miles.
- Alpha Levels reused for EHz and HTz.
- Custom Sonic 2 Beta Sound Driver with Two life Sounds one for Sonic / Miles and other for Knuckles.
- Invencibility and Super Sound are player especific

A lot of bug fixed:
- Infinite Title Screen scrolling now works perfect while Sound Test is highlighted.
- Illegal Instructions in Sonic 1 Levels
- Colisions in Sonic 1 Levels
- Fixed some undocumented bugs while defeating Boss Like ARz, CNz and MCz Boss.

Tested and fixed to work in Real Genesis / Mega Drive.
Invalid Addressing like move.w #$0000, (FE11).w works on emulator, but crashs In Real Hardware.
Invalid Pointers ignored by emulator, but crashs in Real Hardware.

If you played and found bugs please comments.

Edit: New build with fixes (v0.24a)

You're alive? o_O Holy shit

[MathUser]

Bravo on making a new revision of an excellent hack. Welcome back Esreal.

[Knucklez]

Well, this is completely out of the blue.. I mean it's been a good three years. Glad you've finally come around and got it done.

I seriously thought you were gone for good since the last time you released anything.

[KingofHarts]

Welcome back. I'm looking forward to this release!

[DalekSam]

O_O

It's been far too long. Great job as usual.

I love when one of the earlier breakthrough projects gets revived. Still think this project had the best Hidden Palace layout.

Wasn't Long Version getting refined again as well?

Ever since I've joined here, Sonc 2 Delta was one of my favourite hacks. It has not changed, and I'm very glad to see another release. Welcome back, Esrael!

[Selbi]

I feel like I got sent back to 2007, where this hack made me join the scene after I discovered a video on YouTube about it. It's always good to relive nice memories. Great job!

[ColinC10]

Wait, what? What year is this? Wow, this made my day. Legendary hack, legendary hacker, calmly posting an update as if it was only last week he said this:

I am planning to release an official v0.24 soon, but I am releasing these pre-releases to get most bugs reported and fixed and Thanks for all of you for playing and commenting.

Awesome.

Fantastic seeing you again, Esrael! Delta has always been a favourite hack of mine =P

[Ravenfreak]

Wow it's great to see you again Esrael. The Delta series of hacks have been a few of my favorites and it's great to see that you're still working on them. I'll definitely be downloading this once I get off work tonight and giving it a go. ^_^ I hope that I'll be getting a flash cart for my birthday so I can play this on actual hardware as well. :3

[Aerosol]

I didn't know you were still around. Welcome back, Esrael (though I wasn't exactly here when you left)

[dsrb]

I updated the wiki with the new release:
http://info.sonicret...g/Sonic_2_Delta

I haven't addressed any potential changes to the list of levels and other features, but it's better than nothing.

Wow. The legendry Esrael. Never thought I'd see an update on Delta since my presence on Retro.

Looking forward to this with great interest!
