Basic Questions and Answers Thread

Thanks, might do it later.

 

So, this is a trouble i tried to fix long time ago, and honestly, im still not able to fix it.
I tried to do this guide, but it brokes the game in another emulators (Kega, Clownmdemu, etc.)

(Image of Clownmdemu)
And also tried to add the line that Red2010 sended, this line under "CheckSumCheck":

Code:

      bra.s    CheckSumOk

But it has the same result.

Any help?

 

How do I add a main menu in Sonic 1?

 

That requieres a lot of coding, appart, that is doesnt recommended for new ROM Hackers.

(I dont know if I explained it right, if not, please, edit my post)

 

It is best to leave it to the professionals. You don't have to answer the question if you don't have an experience of coding yet.

 

In one of the artnem files, I found this file called Unused - Eggman Ending. It is unused and did not appear in the game. It is Eggman falling to the ground in the background of Green Hill in the final scene, but why don’t we use it?

 

I've wondered this for a while, but how do I uninstall MegaPCM2 and replace it with Sonic 2 Clone Driver?

 

How do i make sonic die instead of just getting hit on debug mode in sonic 1?I tried everything but i didnt able to do it.

edit:Also is there a way i can enter debug mode after dying?(Drowning,level boundary etc)

 

You can, but it requiere coding to restore it.

 

Don't make me tap the sign:

 

Oh, okay, sorry lol, thanks for telling me
(Also sorry to penPhobic)

 

i have a weird issue with SMPS2ASM
this happens if i add a certain amount before the sound data (and also where SMPS2ASM is included), not sure why?
note: im using an old AS disasm, as this is for an update of an old hack

Code:

> > > sound/music/Mus81 - GHZ.asm(8) smpsHeaderFM(1) CheckedChannelPointer(6): error: Tracks for Sonic 1 songs must come after the start of the song - i checked here and it seemed fine 0-o
> > > fatal "Tracks for Sonic 1 songs must come after the start of the song"
fatal error, assembly terminated

heres the line it stopped at just in case

Code:

    smpsHeaderFM        bhz_FM1,    $03, $0C

 

Does 'bhz_FM1' come before or after that line you quoted?

 

Its data comes after the header
edit: i checked to see if its music81 causing the issue, doesnt seem so after replacing it with a binary file
sound/music/Mus82 - LZ.asm(8) smpsHeaderFM(1) CheckedChannelPointer(6): error: Tracks for Sonic 1 songs must come after the start of the song
the music files themselves are fine and ran good, its just smps2asm not liking it when i add too much to the assembly for whatever reason ;-;
UPDATE: i figured it was my version of smps2asm, i changed the file to the latest one in the current AS disassembly and it fixed that!

 

Someone know how I can port levels using Level Converter?
I tried to port Hydrocity into Sonic 1, but i have this as result

 

Sure! Sorry for that lol.
After adding the chunks and blocks files the game started to crash for some reason.
That was what happened.

 

There is a very easy way, first, if you have the SONLVL program to edit stages, all you have to do is export CHUNK for the stage you transferred, then delete the chunk, block, and tile, and import all the chunks that you exported before. I hope this idea will be useful to you

 

A problem when building my rom hack, a black screen. It's simple and I tried my best but could not make it work. Incase, how do I fix it?
