    What about the extra code that was used for the spindash and spike bug fix in S1, would those be compatable in the genesis?

    The spindash code must have been directly taken from the Sonic 2 source before the code was converted to SH-2. Still the Sonic 1 player has the jump while not spinning bug so only the spindash code was taken, nothing more.

    Here's what I can do. I need the code for the spindash from Sonic 2. I can put it into Sonic 1, and I can use the graphics from Sonic Jam's Sonic 1. I need to do the mappings with LOst Library, and I need to know how to change the dynamically uncompressed art to VRAM data so it will work correctly.

    I've been thinking about putting the spindash in Sonic 1 Plus. I can do all the graphics and animation stuff easily, but I'm not quite sure how to do the coding part. I've got three choices:

    1. Port the code from Sonic 2
    2. Port it from Esrael's spindash hack (which isn't perfect)
    3. Port it from Sonic Jam

    To me, porting from Sonic Jam looks easiest. Tracking down the relevant code would take a few minutes. Converting from SH-2 to 68k might be a bit more difficult though.
