    Yes! Finally I can do the Balls'n'Chain effect. After 6 hours of disassembling the boss code, I took the challenge of porting both the boss, and the whole Sonic object manager into powerful C++ classes. Using 3-D accelerated hardware, I was forced to use floating point, and it took me 4 days to convert the highly optimized fixed point GHZ boss into floating point semi-transparent alpha 32-bit protected Direct 3D 9 :P

    You need to have DirectX 9 installed, and a 3-D acceleration card.

    Hehe... Yea, you can also redraw the boss into whatever you like. THe PNG files are in the "data" folder"

    Enjoy!

    The boss was ported from MegaPlay version so that I would get the latest available version in 86000.

    I am really happy with the result!

    It doesn't work for me. I get an error alert claiming I don't have Direct X 9 installed (I got Direct X 9.0b from Windows Update during my last reinstall). And then it crashes with Windows Error reporting. I sent the report and it took a bit of time (it even showed a progress, so it must have sent the entire executable file to Microsoft) :P. But leave it to Microsoft and their proprietary ActiveX and .Net crapwork to be unreliable. Maybe this problem is related to me downloading the security patch yesterday about Direct X security exploits.

    Looks very nice.I will try it when I can install dx6 in my "0mg!11! l337" (irony) computer...

    Edit:Btw,really there was necessity of using alpha channels,only for the clouds? :P

    Well the clouds are pretty bad, I know. I had to do it alpha blended to get rid of the rounding of pixels when moving with a decimal point

    I checked the remix GHZ boss in Sky Santuary (S&K) just to see that it wasn't built from the original at all. It even sucked because the ball isn't really swinging. It is just moving back and forth. Also the ship's bobbing animation is reseted every time the boss starts to me, making it even look worse programmed from my point of view.

    The bobbing movement in the real GHZ boss is mixed perfectly with the ball movement which makes it one of the best programmed bosses ever in Sonic! All the Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 bosses were good programmed.

    But why isn't Naka using the Sonic 1 source to make the boss remixes in Sky Santuary Zone? Well, it's probably because Naka didn't program them. He was the main programmer, ant I'm sure he let some other guy program a little too. And the Sonic 1's object manager and Sonic 3's object manager are different.

    Finally I have installed the dx9,but now there is a problem...(see image) I tried Direct X 9 with other aplications that need it,and they worked,so I don?t think I have it corrupted.

    (Btw,very nice by your part that you released the source ;))

    Yeah, the object manager is different =( I noted the differences some time ago, I think I've got them somewhere =P Btw. I'm doing a s3k disassembly, so if anybody wills to do an idc (and split it =P), it would be great. I made an idc of AIZ and Competition so far only...

    That happen to me when I have still direct x 8,you need to install the 9.(although as I said in other post now I don?t know what happen...)

    If you have it,probably you need to reinstall it.

    Edit:LocalH was more faster than me.
