    Yesterday, I tried to hack sonic 2 beta, the simon wai prototype, with the disassembly created by esrael. And I tried to import some songs from another games. When I try to port, the music don't work. Later I tried to port the s1 sound driver by copiyng data from SoundDriverLoad and from Go_SoundTypes until the end to the s1 disassembly. Ah, and copied the data in the Sound folder. When I try the game, is completely muted.


    Why happen this?

    Because the game wasn't made for that driver. There is a lot more involved than a copy and paste of some code and files. Also just a question - why is it that within the last two weeks that you tried to port to 32X, and now Simon Wai? I have a weird feeling about that...

    While I don't know much about the Simon Wai beta's sound driver, I think you're porting the data and/or the sonic 1 driver software incorrectly between sources, you may want to revise your methods of porting for better chances of success.


    Also I'm asuming that the Simon Wai beta uses what is probably a Z80 based software engine, perhaps if you could dig up some more info about what sound driver the Simon Wai beta uses, what processor it's aimed at primarily and what format it's in?

    The sound driver is processed in z80. But I don't know why I can't port the s1driver, because the hardware is the same.. why have problems?


    and

    Is because I am creating more games.


    Sonic Alphaomega. My main project. This is the hack converted to 32x


    Sonic 3 buggy edition. A game created with ESE, but this have level fixes, especially in plane-changing


    Unknown game. Just yesterday started. I not have the game title, and I have no idea what may have this hack =P
