    Well, I'm kind of asking this because I've seen a couple of hacks that had a 'background behind a background' and it seems as if they made a 3rd background plane (Jester's Challenge and Placid Sapphire Zone from S Factor are some examples) Is this what they did? (And maybe someone could possibly explain to me how they do it?)

    They didn't create a third background layer. That's impossible. They've pulled off an optical illusion by means of sophisticated ASM and VRAM use. Just like in Sonic 2's Hill Top, and several of Sonic 3's zones. And, I highly doubt anyone will explain it to you.

    The two links on the thread linked above are broken.

    Even the pictures.

    But Rika Chou never mentioned that the links were broken.

    Whoops, I only read the second half of Bobesh's post. The pictures are broken, but the link itself is fine.

    If you're lucky, MJ may be able to re-post his guide in full.

    Nah, he's out vacationing in European Mexico. Besides, Adel could easily study the HTZ defamation code and background scrolling and go from there.
