Just hold right lmao.

...Or just don't play the ROM built on April 1st.

 

Showbiz Plaza Zone:

 

The air cap doesn't stop momentum in its tracks, though. It just limits how much you can accelerate and speed up.

 

First progress on Gear Generator Zone:

 

I present to you:

The first Sonic 1 J2ME ROM hack ever.
Edit: Turns out it's not the first, but it is still the first hack of the 128x160 version.

 

I have more updates on the SSRG Discord.

Well, fair enough, then.

 

I disagree with this statement altogether. Art isn't something that can easily be shrugged off as "meh, I could make it in Microsoft Paint". I believe this is PokeTogeKiss's artistic design, and everyone has a unique one. Mine's shit for example, heh.
I have to say, the font really stands out as being very robotic-looking. That being said, the level art could use some shading and slight detailing, but otherwise you're off to a great start and I honestly look forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

Thanks a lot! I've still got a long way to go, though, IMO.

 

Have a look at my J2ME Sonic 3 port, so far.

Custom splash (Along with a custom app icon)

Some in game stuff

And a lil more in game stuff.
It's obviously quite early on, but it's getting there. And with the fact that J2ME hacking is only just now starting out, it's going to take a while for anything substantial to come around.

 

I really like the logo, but the music sounds awful.

 

Something I've been working on lately, that I think I should share here now because I'm finally making some fair progress with it...



In short, I am making an attempt at reworking Crackers to function as a proper Sonic game, as a means of creating a usable utilisation of its engine for hacking purposes.

To summarise what's been changed thus far, the combi-ring mechanic has been removed entirely, and the second player no longer spawns. Likewise, the camera refers only to player 1's position data and no longer calculates a position between the two players. Sonic no longer continuously accelerates on flat ground and is locked to the same value given to cap standard acceleration in 1-K/CD (although unstable acceleration still occurs in air, which will be fixed later...). His walking animation speed has been bumped marginally, and the running animation occurs to match said acceleration limit. Techno Tower has had (somewhat) proper Y-scrolling implemented for the background and no longer triggers game over once the top of the stage is reached. The Z80 driver has also been thrown out and replaced with AMPS, hence the stock Door Into Summer port, which is a placeholder.

As should be obvious, this is all still an early proof-of-concept, but those I've shown it to have expressed interest and as such I figured I might as well show off what's done as of now, since there's some substance to show.

 

There's an unused object in Sonic CD that has existed since seemingly before the v0.02 prototype that seems to generate a waterfall. However, the graphics for the sprite aren't ever loaded into VRAM ever and are left completely unused, and the ID of the blocks that it places in the level layout weren't ever updated. However, due to how the object functions, and the fact that the unused splash graphics fit perfectly with the mappings made for the object, I firmly believe that it was meant to generate a waterfall.
