That can't be done on here until Save File support is added to Sonic 2 on the hub. It only appears when a save file has been completed start to finish.

I may consider modifying the steam version to have a code or something to compensate...

but how? afterall, your computer...

When I get the chance...

i am hoping that a new version of the hack can be created...

I would suggest Git but you're likely more used to Zenowhirl or your custom one :P

What? Why would I start again from scratch? I have my files on the internet...

oh thank goodness...

i was thinking that you lost the files when your computer crashed but you obviously backed it up...

smart move

Okay... i tried the s2 level select code but it didnt work... what is the code and way to activate?

It isn't a code. Read the change notes for a hint.

The unused merry meadow act 2 is wierd...

Okay, so i discovered a crash at Mech Sattelite Zone with Buisel- One of the lines of code executed redirects to a trap.

What were you doing when it crashed? Can you reproduce the crash?

I used level select to get to Mech Sattelite 1 (yes, i found the unused act 2) and jump-dashed around a bit. i was above the first slope in the level (before the loops) when the game crashed.
the screenshot is here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198051364185/screenshot/799796759764410020

Ah. I think it might be a problem with Buisel and Debug mode (yes, it is functional with Sonic and Buisel). Got a similar crash at the same stage after trying to jump-dash after using debug with Buisel.

Since i suspect that Debug mode isn't an intended feature, i think the right course of action would be to disable it in some way.
