@AgentCPU0 As cool as that would be, it's simply not possible with the crappy emulator provided here. Sorry.

Kinda would love for the widescreen version of this hack to work here. It'd be a lot easier than trying to setup RetroArch's DOS-esque settings nightmare. Believe me, I've tried

Still one of the best Sonic 1 rom hacks.

nah its fine, its on emulators too so theres no problem

Then too bad for you, Sega delisted this emulator and all its games to promote Sonic Origins.

same, theres a text saying "Sonic The Hedgehog ya no está disponible en la tienda de Steam." (Sonic The Hedgehod is not anymore on Steam)

@AgentCPU0: updated the ROM to ERaZor 7
@Peanut Noceda: switched to Sonic 1 as base DLC

uhmm... i tried to play it but it needs the steam ver of sonic 3 and knuckles, game that is not more on steam.

With ERaZor 7 now out, maybe try and update this for us?

Oh okay.

Just terribly old and inefficient coding from my side.

That's great to hear. I'm not a technical guy but what was causing the stutter in the code?

Mostly from bad coding. It will run a lot smoother in the update.

Oh that's cool, will be interested to see what gets changed. Can I ask, the game constantly stuttered. Was that by design or a problem in the programming?

Can't argue with honesty. But if you're interested: I'm releasing an update for this game in September this year, which will make a lot of the frustrating parts more tolerable.

It's partly my fault as I didn't know you could skip the hard sections. It was very stressful.

Would you mind sharing your thoughts in a bit more detail?

Well that was a miserable experience...

i love coming back to this every once in a while

The rings keep running into the seiling in the boss IT FRICKIN SUCCKS IN ACT 1

OK, thanks. I'll just use the ROM then. Great hack though!

Unfortunately no. There's nothing I can do though, as the emulator provided by Sega for Steam doesn't work when it uses Sonic 1 as base DLC. I had to set it to Sonic 3 to "fool" it into working properly.

Umm.. I have Sonic 1, but simce it says Sonic 3, will I still be able to play it

Thank GOODNESS there are no lives, otherwise I would have unsubscribed not too far into this mod.

A quick heads-up: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/674699953/351660338682087232/

I've got Hedgehog Abuse Simulator (see my other hacks), which I'm still planning to continue, but couldn't really find the time or motivation yet. Here's hoping it'll return at some point.

Ok then. I also found out that the final level is just after the end of the tutorial, and they are both connected. Cheeky. BTW, are you working o n a new hack?

Well-aware of that bug, but because it isn't game-breaking (plus that I never found the cause...) I've decided to leave it in. And yes, those spaces are annoying.

There are some minor graphical quirks, and also a glitch where if you somehow land on a monitor without breaking it, you'll stand in the air with the balancing animation. Can you fix these? Or is the monitor glitch intentional?












































Also, the music is absolutely rocking!






















































Also, I beat the Black Challenge!



























































Are you annoyed at these gigantic spaces yet?

No to yours. Everything in that stage is intentional (see the forum discussion for more details).

No to which question?

No.

Sonic's hitbox in the latest stage is like a square, so it makes it completely impossible. Fix it please?

But what about the hidden button that has flashing lights? Is that supposed to happen?

@Selbi Inkille: You're welcome!

@ccook33: Fixed it at last. Thanks again for the report and sorry even more that I forgot this in the first place. ^^;

@ccook33: Oh my God, I'm so sorry about that... That was part of a previous joke I left in the game. I thought I disabled that long ago, but looks like I accidentally triggered it again with this new one. X_X

I will fix this ASAP. Thanks for the notification!

WARNING: When you beat the game, do not turn on the opton that unlocks in the options menu or you could get a seizure!

Alright, new version is online (first rev since 2014). Changed the bug and a few miniscule things that have always bothered me, but not a gigantic amount of stuff to be worthy of a new full release number.

@Bwarch: I swear, it's an eternal curse that let's players and streamers find the weirdest bugs even years after I thought I finalized my hack. XD

So yeah, that definitely wasn't intentional and I never heard of this bug in particular. I didn't watch the full stream (yet), but it's very likely that your viewer was right. Every time you hit a check point in Labyrinth Zone, the camera control toggles between up and down, and on the fourth one it additionally disables the bottom boundary killing feature. So if you somehow skip a check point, you broke the sequence...

That's why I put the lamp posts in such a way so that they aren't skippable. How you managed to do it anyway is something I'm currently inspecting from your stream.

Thank you so much for your report and kind words! :)

Figured I'd drop a line here. I'm not sure honestly if some things I had happen in my playthrough were intended or glitches. You can basically look at the stream archive from this point until I switch over to something else, I hit a part where I didn't know if I was doing it wrong or the scrolling behavior in Wet Pit was acting as intended.

https://youtu.be/2jZTU5mH5U8?t=2066

One of my stream viewers theorized that what threw things off was hitting a checkpoint when the screen was still scrolling to catch up after hitting a skip box.

I actually really love the hack either way Selbi :D I've heard and seen that in some ways the Sega emulator has been giving some hacks problems, so maybe if IS a glitch and not me just being dumb this could be that too.

But really it could be either or.

Nope, did not work.

This has also happened with a few more hacks that I subbed to, what on earth is happening?

Didn't work after restarting Steam, just unsubbed and then resubbed in order to MAKE SURE it downloads, I'll check what happens now.

Have you tried restarting Steam? Dunno, never heard of this problem.

Well I have both Sonic 1 and S3&K and it doesn't appear on both.

@Shahars71: Due to a bug with the emulator, my hack doesn't work on Sonic 1. I had to set it to Sonic 3 & Knuckles as a temporary solution. You should find it under the mod list there (provided you have the S3K DLC).

For some reason this doesn't appear in my in game mods list.

@Hukka weird, I didn't have those issues...

Yeah I was able to see the text and continue playing since the change so that's fixed it.
I made it past Green Hill and the other text box seems to work too.

A few hackers seem to be having SRAM related issues as well, i'm wondering if changing over to S3&K will fix thier problems for the moment until maybe a feature to use SRAM in other roms is put in.

Yup, saving works just fine now. Thanks!

That said, I'm having some minor graphical glitches that probably are emulator issues. The bars on the top and bottom of the screen during cutscenes don't always load properly and Sonic glitched into his running sprite after hitting a W block in the first special stage.
