    It is fantastic to know, that such an incredible project will be worked on.
    I'll follow your progress with great interest, like I did the previous years! ^^

    None at the moment I'm afraid.
    This is my last post. I plan to use it here because I feel it is necessary. I have been very cautious with where I post at times. I think it is now time I became a pending approval.

    With that being said, does this mean Megamix is back in business? If so then if you are planning on adding more characters. (don't count on it of course though. XD) then I think a great Super Transformation theme would be the Music that plays in Altered Beast after Transforming into the beast but before getting to the stage boss. (I believe the title of the track is "Theme of the Beast") That theme lasts a while too so not only does it feel powerful like a Super Transformation (especially if the pitch is changed some.) but people will get annoyed by it somewhat less. You don't have to put that in Megamix but at least put it into consideration. Although you could probably extract the better Arcade version's theme of the beast if you are truly planning on switching to CD Audio like some of the previous posts say.

    I had fun with Megamix versions 3 and 4. Quite honestly I'm glad you decided to bring Megamix back from wherever you sent it Tweaks. Some of the bugs in the game were starting to bug (no pun intended) me. (such as the music sometimes not changing during a super Transformation.)

    I actually kind of knew you wouldn't give up on Megamix so easily. (Especially since you have to beat Atomic Sonic with its Chibi bitmap Sonic and broken levels. (yeah I found a loophole in level select of that game that allows you to access the special stage and Green Hill Zone acts 1 and 2. Some of you probably already know this though and anyways it isn't important because both acts can't be completed without debug as there is almost nothing left.)

    Just so you know I'm behind Megamix 100% (even if I suck at hacking.) I look up to you Tweaker so if you fail it will ruin your image in my eyes. (well sort of. It might make me cry some too. Nah I'm just joking with you. It takes a lot more than that to get me crying. It still will suck if you decide to stop doing the hack.)

    Relevant question: Is there a CDDA soundtrack for Original? If so, is it brand-new, or remixed S1 music?

    Nice to know I can speak about Megamix in general publically again without fear of dropping something accidentally. =P

    I love the Tweaker Tantrum option, as others have noted =P And kudos on finding a very clever way to hide the loading time between acts - I honestly would never have thought of that.

    Looking for a Rom Hack to Test.
    Fucking late as always BUT this coupled with my new job coming up has made my entire week! Nice one Team Megamix for sorting it out and continuing on the most EPIC Sonic hack I've ever played :eng101:

    Since mp3's are being used in this that means there can be voice acting or FMV's. I bet some people are waiting to see Jaleel White voice samples incorperated in the game ending.

    Just to say I had some sort of proof that it was being continued, there was an obvious hint: The Member's Lounge "Post your desktop" thread. Tweaker posted is super nice desktop background, but one of his desktop icons was a Megamix folder (technically both 1 and 2 had folders =P).

    Took me a while to find a decent enough wallpaper, but I like how it turned out. :)[/quote]


    Just saying, pay attention to the team. They might throw hints at us in obscure places ;)

    PCM samples, not MP3. MCD isn't powerful enough to decode MP3 in real-time, never mind when a game is running too =P Also, voice acting, presumably added by the Megamix team? I lol'd.


    YES THE CHEER AFTER THE EXTRA LIFE ICON DOES NOT COUNT YOU PEDANTS

    Tweaker will get Tay Zonday to voice everyone in the game.

    I've been way out of the loop and I have so many questions to ask that I don't know where to start. So I guess I won't bother asking them. All in all, good to see this back in works...

    This is kind of a dumb question(no surprise, I'm a nub ;) ) but will we be able to have our own music play in Megamix?

    Oh, and awesome that it wasn't cancelled.

    PS: I didn't really read all teh posts, by the time I read through all seven pages there'll be even MORE replies :)

    But it sounds like a good idea. Maybe you guys could ask xoc if he would be interested? It's worth a try.

    Here's his take on Green Hill.
