    Cinos - Battle of the Order Gems
    Okay, well, I have an odd request or two... My hack is like an 'elseworlds' Sonic 1, where things are very similar to the original, generally, but with definite differences - a Red Sonic for one thing, heh, and his name is Cinos.

    If you need the midis, PM me, but I'd like a version of Big Shot XL from Fatal Fury Wild Ambition, and Stronger, Evil Ryu's theme from Street Fighter Ex Plus Alpha, please? If they're too complex, just say so and I'll request something else.

    Can you please do the song: Mega Man X2 - Sigma's Fortress: Stations 1 & 2

    I really liked the song!

    Thanks!

    (If you have an XM can you give me that as well?... I want to give it a shot. xD)

    That's not really a lot of info... fancharacker-based hacks don't really appeal to me, but... oh well. More info would be appreciated, you know.
    I am loving this song as I listen to it. Okay, sure. However, it might take a while...
    That song is... well, it's overly hard. Also, the orchestral hits would sound quite horrible. Sorry...
    Oh, I've already done that. I did it ages ago, though, so I'll reconvert it. I gave it to oerg, but he said it's fine with him to give it to you...
    Sure...

    Sorry Roxharis. That was just a general enquiry. I do have a playlist in mind of the tunes from S3K and S3D. The reason I didn't include them was because I wanted my asking to come across like a polite request, not an overload of demands.

    If you are intereted though. These were the inital music choices I had in mind for S2 replacements before exploring other games. Not sure what your opinions are of them though. Any one would help I guess. However, like I said if layout and pallette hacks aren't interesting enough I completely understand if you wish to pursue hacks with higher ideals.

    Emerald Hill- Mushroom Hill Zone Act 1
    Chemical Plant- Chrome Gadget
    Aquatic Ruin- Hydrocity Act 2
    Casino Night- Balloon Park
    Hill Top- Lava Reef Act 1
    Mystic Cave- Endless Mine
    Oil Ocean- Flying Battery Zone Act 1
    Metropolis- Gene Gadget Act 1
    Sky Chase- Panic Puppet Act 1
    Wing Fortress- Death Egg Act 1

    Boss 1- Sonic 3D Boss 1
    End Boss- Sonic 3 End Boss

    Like I said. Thats why I didn't want to ask. I'm not asking for everything. I actually have no idea how difficult it is to convert these into a format for S2. Its just my idea for what might suit the zones.

    Well it shouldn't be too hard... As long as you have the Sonic 1 Sound Driver in Sonic 2...

    Hmm...I don't currently. Is there an easy way to implement it? Also, just out of curiosity why would it be neccessary?


    Always fun to learn new things. ;)

    Because porting music to Sonic 2 Driver is a pain... That is why hacks like: Sonic 2 Megamix and Sonic 2: Advanced Edit have the Sonic 1 Sound driver... Because it's as easy as changing music in Sonic 1...

    What's so bad about relatively simple hacks? If the layout is good... (Personally, though, I prefer hacks with new art)
    I can do the S3D songs for you... but I'm not too sure about the S3K ones. Mainly because of how easy it is to use Esrael's Music thingy, but I suppose those conversions are a bit broken. However, if you're not using the Sonic 1 driver, Esrael's tool will do quite a bit for your needs. :(
    Since when was this "CarrascoZX0 and roxahris' music thread"? No offense, but...
    Really, porting songs like that isn't exactly hard, even with an automatic converter (see: wiki).
    It makes music stuff much, much simpler, as tools like XM4SMPS export in Sonic 1's format in default. Sonic 2's music driver, however, isn't TOO bad, due to the way things work. But Sonic 3's driver and the other Z80 SMPS drivers? All addresses must be absolute, in Z80 format. Which is why people use the Sonic 1 soundriver, which has nice, simple, relative pointers. However, if I remember correctly... Sonic 2's driver isn't very hard to port to; all music starts at $8000 due to the compression... but it cound mess sound effects up. If you use the Sonic 1 driver, then it'll miss most of Sonic 2's sound effects. However, if you ask Tweaker for the Clone Driver, or ask whats-his-face for their modified driver, you won't need to worry about that. Still, considering you said your hack was a simple layout/palette hack, it'd probably be easier to port the songs to the Sonic 2 driver.

    I... haven't had much time lately for people's music requests. I'm getting them done! Slowly. But quickly!
    I recently realized that I read TVtropes way too much. I had to delete the last sentence of that because of it.

    Sorry about that roxahris, I was just trying to get some of them off your hands... Since it was a shit load... And because I have them ready mostly all of them... I did those ports a long time ago...

    Oh, no, it's fine. I'm not going to do all the songs he requested, because that seems a bit too much... but if you could give him the ones you have, like you said, and tell me what you don't, I'd be very happy.

    Cinos - Battle of the Order Gems
    More info about Cinos? Well... to be honest, I haven't got much more. It's not really fan character based, I told you pretty much the whole deal about it there in the fact that it's a parallel universe-style Sonic the Hedgehog with similar themed levels with new colors and subtly altered layouts [although I plan to create some new levels once I get my head around decent tile editings.] When I get anything more to tell you, you'll be seeing a thread about it.lol :v:

    Thank you for taking a crack at Big Shot XL though. =) It's alright about Stronger, I know some songs may be more complex to sound good through the Sonic 1 driver. I'm looking forward to hearing your work.

    Alright cool... As for the ports these are what I have:

    Chemical Plant- Chrome Gadget
    Aquatic Ruin- Hydrocity Act 2
    Mystic Cave- Endless Mine
    Oil Ocean- Flying Battery Zone Act 1
    Sky Chase- Panic Puppet Act 1

    Boss 1- Sonic 3D Boss 1
    End Boss- Sonic 3 End Boss

    But if you want these ports to work... Get the Sonic 1 Sounddriver for Sonic 2! Please! :v:

    Thanks for your help.

    Cinos - Battle of the Order Gems
    ...Ew, that palette makes me feel a little sick. No, mine's red. With black shoes. And S1 character model, not SAdvance.

    What the hell is that thing?

    [Ontopic] I haven't seen Rox on for a while, is he ok...?

    I wasn't being a dick. o.o; Sorry it came across as such.

    Cinos is overused...? Shoot, I've never seen one. >.>; *puts a name change consideration in the hack's future*

    And what is the significance of this really eye-killing Sonic anyway? I don't do well looking at those colors... They don't belong together.
