    For anyone interested: The text scrolling is done by writing each line of text to the scroll plane as the plane is being scrolled vertically. That is, on every 8th scanline, the next line of text is written. Note that this uses the VDP directly instead of the Sonic engine.

    Yeah, that's lame all right. Now someone actually make a real fucking hack for SAGE instead of a joke hack — that'd be a miracle! :-O

    I have a better one for you. How about someone actually make a good game for SAGE.

    I like how the post is always different when you hit a box. It adds replayability. Sort of. :v:

    Also, I'm not familiar with this guy (though he sounds like a hoot). Is "W(e)TF LAME" a pun everyone uses to describe him, or did you make it up for this hack?

    People usually use much more angry words to describe him.
     
  6. This is the best hack ever. And it is easy.
    I just hit a monitor to see what it said..I don't read that fast :(

    Easy? Try beating the whole game.

    Yeah, that was intentional (after all, tl;dr = too long;didn't read. =P)

    You're not missing much by reading it. It's better off left ignored or skimmed because it's some of the most shallow reasoning and refusal to just be proven wrong you'll ever try to read.

    This hack is certainly one of the most amazing accomplishments of the year.

    So, use the level select to go to Final Zone and beat the game. Sonic will hit a monitor during the MZ demo (unless you exploit the C button bug of course).

    Oh, so that is how Sonic can beat the game without getting wetflame'd :O

    Nineko just won the game.

    Gah, foiled by that stupid monitor in LZ2. The same one that FUBAR'd my no-rings run (well alright, there are others, but ten at once?)

    That's why this Sonic hacking "scene" has died in 2003 and is still dead.
    To avoid drones jumping on me, you will have to understand from this single sentence.

    I assure you, the scene was much worse with this kind of things back then.

    Shadow Alpha, an awesome hack of Sonic 1
    I assure you nextvolume, if we were all nearly as pessimistic as you are with regards to the hacking scene, we'd be finding rainbows vomiting rainbows in our Sonic hacks rather than innovative features.

    I played the game and hit the first monitor.

    I laughed.

    I played the game and beat the first level and jumped into the special stage ring (and was whisked away to Wetflameland).

    I cried.

    I used the level select code and beat Final Zone; then, Sonic hit a monitor in the credits demo videos.

    I shit myself.



    Kudos, GerbilSoft.
