Sonic 1 Beta Remake Update Thread

I say do all 4, Doing A first, until you get to a point where you can't proceed anymore, then do C, then when that is finished, do either B or D.

But if I had to pick one, I'd pick B or D, because everyone is hacking Sonic 1 lately, and there have been no "Really good" hacks for Sonic 3, and even though there is a dissembly for the Sonic 2 NA Proto, no one has really used it to it's fullest.

 

B or C

 

Id like to see you have a go at doing the Sonic 3 BETA Remake once you have finished the S1 BETA Remake completely.

I take it for a S3 BETA you would

1.Change the Sprites to Sonic 2 Style sprites
2.Change Ice Cap's intro so Sonic is running instead of Snow Boarding.
3.Change the Angel Island intro to show Sonic Surfing instead of being Super Sonic.
4.Perhaps include Mushroom Valley, Flying Battery and Sandopolis? (listed in the S3 level select)

 

Maybe also removing the level cut scenes, so instead of at the end of AIZ, you falling into HCZ, you just have a regular transition effect, and just start in the water in HCZ.

 

The reason noone makes a hack for S3 is the fact the disassembly doesn't build perfectly. (no sound what so ever)

The red boxes show where sparkles end up appearing. (and the sparkle object is using sonics pallete line)

what is the problem here?

If anyone wants to look at it., here is the code.

Code (Text):

1.    
2.  Resize_SYZ1:            
3.                 jsr    SingleObjLoad
4.         bne.s   SYZ1_RTS
5.         move.b  #$70,0(a1); load sparkle object
6.         move.w  8(a0),8(a1)
7.         move.w  $C(a0),$C(a1)
8.         jsr (RandomNumber).l
9.         move.w  d1,d0
10.         moveq   #0,d1
11.         move.b  d0,d1
12.         lsr.w   #2,d1
13.         subi.w  #90,d1
14.         move.l  d0,$8(a1)
15.         lsr.w   #8,d0
16.         lsr.b   #3,d0
17.         subi.w  #90,d0
18.         move.l  d1,$C(a0)

I'm no ASM expert, but based on your diagram, my guess would be that you have to generate separate random numbers for the X and Y coordinates to generate the sparkles at.

 

$8(a1) is X value and $C(a1) is Y.

Though there is an error in the code: you have $8(a1) but $C(a0). Should the $C be (a1) also??

 

What about that sonic 1 alpha hack that you were making?

 

FloorLog_Unk was used to log the Level's Solidity Tiles to see if it uses Primary and Secondary or Just Primary, It does that in S2F but is blocked off by an RTS because it delays the title card 2 seconds.

 

This may or may not work, but have you ever thought of making the goggles an object which is loaded relative to Sonic's position, and changes it's frame based on Sonic's frame? That way, you would only need one set of mappings for Sonic, and if the positioning of the goggles and their mappings are right, the goggles should be placed around Sonic's eyes at all times and the matching frame should be loaded. It shouldn't be too hard to do and will probably be better than double mappings.
