... my godness.. did you see the hiper sonic sprite?? the stars?? is most very cool !! the final version is bad.. I think Sonic 3C (Prototype 0517 - May 17, 1994, 17.08) (hidden-palace.org) and Sonic & Knuckles (Prototype 0525 - May 25, 1994, 15.28) (hidden-palace.org).rar the most complete games..

The Sonic & Knuckles proto is the least complete of the S&K protos, can'a agree with you there.

IMHO, while Sonic 2 protos were -all in all- nothing truly groundbreaking, seeing how those protos weren't the fabled "have-the-updated-level-select-but-with-lost-levels" thingie but more polished versions, S3C and Sonic 3D Blast were truly fun to explore. :drool:

Even though I'm not that good at hacking cheat codes and I had to wait for help.

[JDAdams]

Thanks drx - all completed downloading now, I'll seed for as long as people are interested.

[MoDule]

Can't wait for all the protos to get finished. This is great.

[Wyvernlord]

While the lack of Wood Zone or a pink Casino Night is disappointing, there's denying everything else is completely badass.

Grats on your success DRX. You've become a legend.

[WiteoutKing]

Oh sweet, I'm on the contributor list, hot. :P

This is a pretty historic day (yesterday, that is... I had a comedy show to attend to when the release happened, and drinking to do after that). Congratulations on an epic win, drx.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT, Shining Force II for GG is in here? Oh my god, I love you, drx. Also, a really impressive number of Pico titles on here.

There's no emoticon for what I'm feeling

I will treasure this forever

[Nikki]

Wow, lots of Doom 32x protos! Thanks for all of this, drx~

[Sanky]

(late, I know)
Drx is a god. Really.
All we now need is a Sonic 1 proto. Then we can sleep in peace.

[Chaos Hedgie]

Rememer when I said I wasn't impressed unless a Sonic 1 proto was found?

Well fuck it, 1000 prototypes, plus a Shining Force 2 one. I'm fucking amazed. I was totally not expecting 1000 prototypes.

Too much of a good thing?

Holy shit. Nice one again, drx :P

[Mikel]

I only tried Sonic 3C 0408, Sonic 2 (Many various versions), Ristar 0812, and Knuckles Chaotix 213B, 1227, and 1229.

That was an awesome release, thanks drx. Hope to see more from you soon.

This is probably the most valuable thing here. This is the execution environment for the machine that compiled this DOOM prototype. It tells us a lot about the hardware that was attached to it, and the assembler itself.

CONFIG=full_system
COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM
PROMPT=$P$G
MOUSE=C:\MOUSE 
BPATH=;c:\brief\macros
BHELP=c:\brief\help
BFILE=c:\brief\state.rst
BPACKAGES=s-asm,asm:s;h-c,c,pas:r
BFLAGS=-k -bi120z -mJKT -mrestore -Dega -D101key
BTMP=c:\brief
DIRCMD=/OEDN
TEMP=C:\DOS
SOUND=C:\SB16
BLASTER=A240 I5 D3 H3 P300 T6 
PATH=D:\WATCOM\BIN;D:\WATCOM\BINW;D:\WATCOM\BINB;C:\DOS;C:\UTIL;C:\BRIEF;C:\NORTON;C:\WINDOWS;Z:.
EDPATH=D:\WATCOM\EDDAT 
INCLUDE=D:\WATCOM\H;D:\WATCOM\H\win
WATCOM=D:\WATCOM
windir=C:\WINDOWS

So, we can see that this machine had an assembler (of course), a Watcom tablet, and a sound card. I don't see anything that may have been used for music development, though. The machine appears to have run DOS and Windows 3.1 (we have both C:\DOS and C:\WINDOWS in the path, and a WINDIR variable).

Great find, sir.

EDIT: It looks like the variables that I thought were being used by their assembler were actually being used by their text editor. So now we know what text editor they used. =D

Uh oh, looks like Star Wars Arcade (32X) (Prototype - Sep 06, 1994) (hidden-palace.org).bin built wrong. Its all Odd bytes :\ (even bytes are duplicates of odd bytes)
