Wow, thank you for that detailed response. Love the progress on SA2 multiplayer by the way.

Is there a detailed "fix your steam version of SADX" guide anywhere? I used to know one but it got taken down and then the associated download links no longer worked.
To first replace your steam version with the 2004 version, then to get the ADX, XInput etc etc.


I know there's a new mod manager (MainMemory is on a roll) and I'd love to use it for that sweet 1920x1080 borderless window.

Things the Steam version does have:

• E-101mkII and ZERO's model files
  
• Game Gear games
  
• Textures
  
• ADX format music (if you plan on never turning off the mod loader)

Things that the Steam version doesn't have:

• WMA format voices
  
• WAV format sound effects
  
• MPG format videos
  
• sonic.exe
  
• DLL files (CHRMODELS.DLL, ADV00MODELS.DLL, etc)

Even if you can find an archive containing only the missing files, you'll still be downloading a significant chunk of the game's data. I think you might as well just download the whole game. The only thing I can provide to you is the sonic.exe file, which you should use instead of the copy you get with the rest of the game's files, to ensure compatibility with the mod loader.

I do have the Israeli version of Sonic Adventure DX 2004 (actually been meaning to add the boxart to the wiki but can't figure out how) should I install it to my Steam directory and then replace the exe?

[MainMemory]

I've never heard of an Israeli version, I'm guessing it's the European build with SecuROM though. It'll work fine if you replace the EXE, although I don't know what you expect to get from installing it in the Steam folder.

I thought doing that would give me the files I need.

I'm trying to combine the 2 versions, basically have the 2004 version but still have Steam thing it's the steam version.

I've done it before.

Edit: Just going full 2004. I own it, seems silly to hold myself back.

It also has the shadow effect in the middle part of Lost World working (although that effect isn't used anywhere else -- it'd have been welcome in the middle part of Final Egg)

That too. This is probably a stretch, but it would be pretty cool if we could implement DirectX 9 into the older version and just throw those shaders in there =P
