Esrael Sonic Editor II Problem

I am trying to save my work to the rom but i keep getting an error saying that it cann ot create the sonic the hedgehog 2 rom, would anyone like to tell me why this is happening plz?

 

Well, you should post a Screenshot first. I want to help you, but I don't understand your problem.

 

There, it just wont create the rom when i wanna save all of the stuff.

I got that error when I was a noob, too. But I knew how to fix that. I think you have to create a folder called"temp" in the ESEII root folder. I think that should work.

 

Is the Sonic hack set to Read-Only?


That might be it.

 

i have tried both but still the same thing is happening.

 

Personally, I don't think you should bother with ESEII anyway. You should learn how to use SonED2 instead. It will pay off in the long run, and you don't have to worry about ESE corrupting your ROM.

 

Rika is right here. SonEd2 is a much better tool for editing Sonic than ESE II. It enables you to edit the art aswell, and also is very friendly with disassemblies, meaning that you can implement coding into your hack. If you use ESE II though, then you won't be able to code.


If it is your first hack, and you are just starting, though, then ESE II is a great tool.


Also, if you encounter this problem, try using SonEd 1 instead. Much easier to work with than ESE II. Some people still actually use SonEd 1 over SonEd 2. I think Nineko still does, and his hack is great.

 

ok i now sem to have got the hang of this SonED2 but now i wanna know how do i save my tile changes to the rom? i used the spit to extract the stuff from the rom, now i have edited the tiles, i need to know how to put em in my game.

 

you can edit the tile art in SonED 2, when you have edited the art how you want it to be then just press F3 to save it!

 

The (probably) solutions:


-> Try Esrael's ASM Editor.


or...


-> Right Click your Sonic 2 Romfile to see the Properties, disable the "Read Only" option, and click ok. Reopen your ROM on your editor and try to save again.
