Hey, Im making my own hack of Sonic 2 beta using using ESE II (thanks esrael, Ill make sure you have a place in the credits;)), STE and SLEEP ,Ive been trying make my own tiles for Casino night using the 16x16 blocks but it wont save them for some odd reason and now, Casino night 2 screwed up with nothing (I want to edit the background because i dont want the player thinking that there's a tile somewhere there isnt), I get an Illegal Instruction error when start Neo Green Hill act 1, Neo Green Hill Act 2 is totally blank (a la Casino Night 2), I want to give Wood Zone 2 a background that's not completely blue instead of the background tiles being in the foreground, add objects into zones that don't have any, and add more characters (Shadow, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Cream, maybe sonics brother Manic and Mighty) how to do I do this (i'm a newbie to this stuff). But even with all these bugs, it does make for a more complete Sonic 2 beta (casino night 1 you can complete without debug mode) and found a
Game Genie code for Sonic 2 Beta that enables debug mode but you cant restart the game by pausing and pressing A:

AH99-8CH4

So im gonna shut up for a while and show some screen shots of this son of a gun:

 SS2.jpg   576.33K   13 downloads
Still has old Sonic 2 beta title screen
 SS3.jpg   399.94K   4 downloads
Modified the level select palette although this is NOT a palette hack
 SS1.jpg   110.72K   1 downloads
Enabled AND modified Sega Logo palette (its not illegal just as long as the logo is there, no offense but why hasn't anyone done this yet???)
 ss4.jpg   644.81K   6 downloads
For your info, this is Wood Zone 2, and I used Sonik Sprite (that is how its spelled) to replace his standing sprite and one of his waiting sprites (because its freaky to see Sonic blink without eyelids)
with the ones in the final Sonic 2
 ss5.jpg   529.31K   3 downloads
Proof that its Wood zone 2, it has nothing in the background, just bright blue
 ss6.jpg   586.94K   2 downloads
Finally getting down too it (literally)
 ss7.jpg   95.76K   3 downloads
More of the custom Sega.
 ss8.jpg   331.43K   2 downloads
And now some of the legendary Hidden Palace
 ss9.jpg   300K   1 downloads
Had some fun moving stuff around in my object editor (notice the orbs)
 ss10.jpg   414.95K   1 downloads
The proper Sonic 1-Up box instead of the Tails 1-Up
 ss11.jpg   478.28K   4 downloads
The glowing bridge that I have yet to move some place else
 ss12.jpg   399.37K   2 downloads
The only modifications I made to Hill top is get rid of the giant gap and I filled it with something (see screenshot above)
 ss13.jpg   107.94K   7 downloads
What happens when you select Neo Green Hill 1 from the level select
 ss14.jpg   549.4K   5 downloads
Moving into Casino Night now, The spot that Sonic is standing on right now, he would fall straight through if I didnt change it

However, theres alot more to it than this so why not try this yourself? Heres the link to download it:

Oh yeah, if your experienced, feel free to tell me the things I need to know or even do it yourself and send it back to me when your done at:

Why did you double post just for more screenshots when you made a mistake, and you can just edit your previous post?
Also it sounds like a 'do it for me' thread, and know ones gonna do it for you, you know. Will help with asked questions but, your asking questions in the wrong thread. Ask in the basic questions/answers thread. As for the hack, I'll have to play it later.

Im not saying YOU MUST do it, IF YOU WANT to do it.

BTW thanks for the help!

Okay first off, stop your double posting... For the second time... That's why you have an edit button...
And if you need help ask your questions in the Basic Questions and Answers Thread dude...

Anyway, Animemaster still has a point. Even though you asked people for help... Do you really think people would help you with what you've done so far? Hell, I wouldn't... But that's just me... Besides, I don't know too much about ESEII and Sonic 2 Beta...

EDIT: Also, why did you name your hack Super Sonic Legacy? I see no Super Sonic... ^^'
And, look! I used the edit button! You try now!

I did that (took a while uploading the shots.... again)

[Jamesoleruster]

Should I change the name of this (I personally don't really like it either) If so, what should I name it?

[shadowbeasts]

You double posted again, either press the edit button or if you post one thing and you know your going to post something after do it in the post or working on. Anyway for now I'd just call it Sonic 2 beta plus or sonic 2 beta complete.

Yea, we didn't have to hear it a third time. Two was enough...

Nah, that sounds pretty cheesy... I'm pretty sure he can come up with something better. =P

I really don't suggest hacking S2 Beta. The engine is too broken....


Yeah though, double posting is a bad thing, use the edit button. Your screenies look pretty good, keep going, but it's S2B.. :x

[Lips2k8]

Hacking s2 beta eh? I thaught esrael was the only guy who did that oh and the screenshots are cool - apart from that god awful filter you seem to be using... play it how they used to be dont ruin it with silly filters lol

Uhhh..... The filter I use makes things look all HQ, but I like sonic 2 beta though, maybe I should take the whole engine from the final sonic 2, and put it in here, maybe post what I took out as source code for anyone who wants/needs it....

[Irixion]

Yeah uhh, unless you have extensive knowledge of the Sonic engine and the 6800, you're not really going to get anywhere. Also, please post your screenies at x1 with no filters in PNG format....it helps us low bandwidth people.

[Katelynn]

unless you have extensive knowledge of the Sonic engine and the 6800, you're not really going to get anywhere.

At least try to check your facts, spelling and naming (it's 68000, not 6800) if you're going to try to sound smart.

Whoa, are you serious? Relax!
He probably made a little typing error.
Sheesh, no need to get all worked up about it.

[Jamesoleruster]

Ok so i've gone in and tinkered with emerald hills palette and renamed it "Dark Night Hill Zone" and because the name is so long I had to to change "stage" to act. More screenshots below (modified Sega Logo palette a little more) Oh yeah, for the records, I use PNG because of the quality, it drives me UP THE WALL when I do these things and then see crummy quality Heres a comparison of JPEG and PNG:
 ssl.jpg   43.35K   8 downloads  ssl.png   15.25K   9 downloads
JPEG

PNG B)

Notice the difference? It smudges, I HATE smudging. Anyways..... The description for those images above is: Modified Level Select text
 ssl0.png   16.85K   5 downloads
Heres Dark Night Hill Zone!!!
If anyone is working on this, Ill add the palette of this zone into it as well as do the level select and sega logo
