    I have this ese II program and I want to make some levels such as genocide city and a desert zone. How would I go about making a new level exactly? And I have more questions. How do I insert things like enemies and items and such? How do I insert a boss and other enemies? How can I, if possible, make new tiles? That should be all I have to ask. If I can't do these things in ese 2 can I do these in soned? If so where can I find soned?

    Whatever catches my fancy
    SonEd is very different. It can edit level tiles and level layouts, including putting in new objects. ESE II is an all-around utility, but many consider it to be a poor choice because it's not very compatible with other tools.

    Bosses are treated just like any other object by the game code (except that many of them are loaded as several objects, so you may want to be careful with that).

    There are no level art editors for Sonic 2 beta. Only the final.

    Well, I own three copies of sonic two final. So could I legally download sonic 2 final then so I can make sonic 2 uncut?

    With enough hacking skills you can make it with Sonic 2 beta. :P

    No matter what game you hack, you will need to learn how to use a hex editor.

    And man, stop worrying about weather ROMs are legal. The ONLY way a ROM is legal as a backup is if you dumped it yourself.

    Also, try to improve your grammar a bit.

    I'm going to hit you over the head with a heavy pot if you keep going on about the legalities.

    IT IS ILLEGAL BUT YOU WILL NOT BE CAUGHT AND YOU CANNOT GET IN ANY FORM OF TROUBLE WHATSOEVER FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FOR DOWNLOADING ROMS.

    Hell, you could download GameCube games and still probably not get in any trouble.

    Edit: Circumvented the caps-lock form thing. :)

    ROM hacking is also illegal because you're taking an official Sega product and modifying it in your own way. Every level you edit is another year in the slammer.

    Would I have to download the source to edit the hex in hex workshop?

    You want Sonic 2 Ultima? You don't have to make it. You can download a patch.

    Geez... ROM hacking is not illegal... unless you are selling it to make profit. It's the same as having the ROM on your PC... It's not illegal, but morally frowned upon... especially if you have a game which is obsolete.

    Australian law is a similar kind to the American law, and if you live in America or Australia, it isn't illegal to fall under any of the categories above. I should know... I was studying law in school, and I frequently read law books =P

    Please change the name of your hack, Mr. A Bunch Of Numbers, I've already started a hack under the same name.

    See my projects list. I renamed it to sonic 2 ultima, then I found out that was taken, so I changed it to sonic 2 redone.
