    EDIT: Updated to 18/8/08

    This hack is graphical, the palettes I am starting modifying (Already it was time!). Since already a lot of time has happened, I cancel the union of people to this project. (Though still they are in time)

    Things that I have obtained
    -SpinDash
    -Spike Bug Fixed.
    -Alternate Music.

    For doing:
    -Palette Change
    -Add characters
    -And more! :D

    Some samples of the hack: (old previews)

    Blast Park Act 1
    Blast Park Act 2
    Blast Park Act 3
    Castle Act 1
    Castle Act 2
    Castle Act 3
    Casino Land Act 1
    New Sprites!
    Casino Land Act 2
    Living in the City and More

    (more Coming Soon! =D)

    Edit 2: Not to flatten the rest of zones, I have decided not to do any more releases for the present. When it has the practically ready hack, I will do the correspondent release.

    Last Version: 0.45

    Now, it's time to opinions and discuss! :D

    From what I have seen from the video's the layouts are very interesting, though I have noticed certain instances of unfitting tiles the layouts were queit good.

    I would suggest toning down 3 things though.
    1. The amount of rings
    2. The amount of invincibility boxes
    3. The speed shoes amount

    Otherwise I have to say the layouts look quiet unique and interesting.

    As far as I know, you would need to use two different hacks for different languages.

    Also, how did you change the title cards, level select menu and "Sonic Team Presents"?

    To change them, you must use a hex editor.

    Well, I will have to put it in Spanish, then another version in English :P

    Well, I do not know by ASM tell, as I did with a Hex editor ...
    I would like to know one thing: how can I extract Ristar Music or any other Sonic ROM for the port to do after my hack?

    Bolded for Emphasis.

    I agree with this post wholeheartedly. ALSO. Not only should you tone down on those, but fuck. In boxes in general. I think you could have easily got about 700 rings total in JUST those 3 acts.

    And the way you designed the levels at certain parts are kinda akward. Maybe because they look incomplete, or because its something I am not used to. Iunno. But yea. Tune down the rings AND boxes.

    Beta 0.25 released. I hope it is for pleasure. I decreased the number of rings, boxes...
    Sonic the Hedgehog - Fantasy Worlds Beta 0.25

    Please, reply...
    In addition, I have other questions:
    How can I make more slots music?
    How do I convert the music to .Bin files?
    How do I get more characters (Shadow, etc.). for the hack?

    You'll need to use a split disassembly, grab them at Disassemblies.
    The SCHG How-to:Guide section contains plenty of guides to help you on your way.

    I have already made the dissassembly, but I do not know how to make the ports of the original ROMs to Sonic 1. At a minimum, convert MP3 files to MIDI. Regarding the remainder, only seek .Bin files from the rest characters.

    Try using the (old) ESE II Sound Importer, works brilliantly, allough you'll need to use MusicPointerFixer too.

    The music in BIN format isn't converted, just extracted. Once you locate any music track from the game you like, you just select it in a hex editor, then copy and paste it into a new file called WHATEVER.BIN. Then you convert it to the desired music format (if it's not already in it) and replace that file in the "music" directory (or however it's called in your split disassembly) before compiling it.


    Also, I don't think it's possible to convert MP3s to MIDI files too faithfully...

    The most faithful way to go from MP3 to MIDI is to sequence the file yourself. Using any utility will get you a jumbled mess.

    I fail to do so or do not understand ... Could you make me a little "guide" with images, if you do not mind?

    Oh, one thing...
    It's possible. With this page, yes:

    If you had actually tried using that, you'd notice that as soon as you select an mp3 file as the source, the midi option is no longer available.

    Joaki... el traductor de Google es peor que hablar en cualquier idioma, porque con él no te entienden ni los españoles ni los que hablan inglés. =|
