Sonic 2 LD

You're going to need someone to downscale the music from Sonic 2 to this game...

 

Using Sonic's SMS pallete, and reduced colors.

 

exciting stuffz.. I want to see more of this for the contest next year <3

That looks really good.

 

A feeble attempt to 'hybridize' the title screen banner.
Next... the pixel art. :v:

 

Hmm, it's looking really cool, but shouldn't the final versions of Sonic & Tails appear in the title screen instead?

Unless you already have plans for that.

 

Yes, and it's done.

 

I know this is probably the worst thing since mouldy sliced bread, but here's a very, very early WIP of Robotnik's theme.

NOTE: Yes I know that the DAC is still in there, but I'm working to change it to PSG noise.

Sorry to be rude but let me say this straight: you're just wasting time here.

1. Sonic 2 SMS doesn't use the SMPS sound engine, which means that a song converted with xm3smps wouldn't be suitable for actual use;
2. Since it doesn't use the SMPS sound engine, Sonic 2 SMS can use the four psg channels at the same time (3 melodic + 1 noise); you can't do that in Sonic 1/2/3/K for the Genesis;
3. That conversion in particular has timing issues all over the place, even in the chance that Sonic 2 SMS could use SMPS songs, doc eggfan should be deaf to actually use it

Points 1 and 2 can be probably solved by reading this, though I have no idea how to use it, nor if its conversions can be actually used in-game or if someone has to crack the Sonic 2 SMS music format (which is unknown, afaik). Unfortunately I think the latter is a more probable option.
Point 3 requires you to get more musical knowledge because it's not a good thing if you can't tell that that song's timing was completely broken.

So yeah, this should serve as a reminder to everyone who thought to contribute to this project with xm3smps: don't.

There you go. I have the mod2psg2 file if anyone wants it.

 

Dude, this is awesome.
Of course I can't speak in behalf of Doc Eggfan, but I can give this a thumbs up!

Now someone should contact Maxim from smspower and ask him if those mod2psg2 songs can be used in Sonic 2 or not. As I said, even if I seriously wish that it's possible, I highly doubt so

If Doc Eggfan doesn't mind I can proceed and contact Maxim myself.

 

I agree, that is a really nice an authentic sounding conversion.

 

Agreed. I just listened to it.

 

Eh... I'm indifferent, really. I might try my own arrangement at some point if I can be arsed. It's tolerable, if nothing else.

 

I contacted Martin, the author of Mod2Psg2; he says that it may be possible to use Mod2Psg2 songs into Sonic 2 by replacing Sonic 2's default driver with his one. He is probably willing to help, so I invited him on this forum.

Now my delivery boy job is completed and I shall disappear.

*poof*
