My Sonic 2 Hack

You could always make your own art for certain Bgs?

 

When I ported Isolated Island to Sonic 2, It brought all he backgrounds with it. The only problem I had was I needed to re-arrange the tiles and change the BG deformation.
Although I didn't get the 8x8 tiles from the ROM, I used the Chaotix savestate for everything. Using the ROM, the Foreground and Background 8x8s are in different chunks.

 

Ack, another reason I hated Chaotix...

 

I personally didn't like Amazing Arena very much. The clock thing and the music were bleh.
Levels in Chaotix get to use all the different pallete lines the Genesis has, as sprites are MARS.

 

1) Take a copy of a blank Sonic 2 ROM.
2) Open it in ESE, therefore screwing it up.
3) Make a copy of this screwed up ROM.
4) Change the level select.
5) Compare the two and find what changed.
6) Stick that into a non-screwed Sonic 2 ROM.

..just guessing though, can't say I've tried it, but I reckon ESE doesn't move where in the ROM the level select stuff is.

 

That looks pretty sweet man. Can't wait to try it out.

 

I like your other work, but I'm not to fond of that lastest CPZ image, it just looks way to slapped together with random things.

 

That looks nicer, but I suggest more color, that looks more NESish

 

Crystal Egg Zone... NICE!

 

That's pretty good, but you should make it more 16-bit than 8-bit, like someone else mentioned. Either way, you're doing a great job, and I can't wait to play your hack.

 

Yeah, looks pretty good. I'd REALLY tone down that blue before you add more detail though. It kinda hurts the eyes after a while. :P
