General Screenshot/Movie Thread

I'm back yet again, with another odd version of Sonic 1 that I have in my house. This time, it contains a character that a lot of you might not know of (okay, if you have, then kudos to you).

Here's the video, which also shows me playing through it:

Spoiler: NOTE: CLICK ON THIS AFTER WATCHING

Once again, here is another ROM hack of Sonic the Hedgehog that I've created, featuring none other than the titular character from the 1994 Genesis game, Dynamite Headdy, replacing Sonic the Hedgehog.

The sprites for Headdy in this hack were taken directly from the source game, with some minor edits. They aren't complete though, with some sprites (such as the spinning and pushing sprites) still being Sonic himself. This hack also takes advantage of voice samples, of which are also taken from the source game.

Again, this is a personal, private project of myself for many years (I've been doing this since at least 2017), and this is the first time I've shown this one on the net (and the second time I've done so overall). As usual, I won't distribute the ROM for this hack due to personal situations (and don't ask me for one), but once it's ready, expect that to come very soon.

BTW, Dynamite Headdy released on this day 30 years ago in Japan, which is why I had to make this post (and video).
Also, while not surprising enough, this ROM hack is working on real hardware, as shown in the video. Can't you believe it?
And just listen to how clean those PCM samples are... (Thanks to vladikcomper for the Mega PCM 2 driver used in this hack (It was using the original Mega PCM v1.1 driver from the hack's creation up until vladikcomper released Mega PCM 2 in May of this year))

 

Messing around with Chaotix's sound driver.





Here's some PAR codes to get the ~200% speed effect:

Code:

007424:4E71
007426:4E71
007428:4E71
00E9D8:00FF
0101BA:00FF
075BA8:C6FF
076E98:00FF

You can change all of the the of the "FF"s to any 8-bit hex value for the speed.

You are welcome to Sonic 1 Twin Star!

Yeah,yeah, this is beta hack of sonic 1 but i and my team will try to make it interesting and most importantly not annoying

Using the power of the Sega 32X... get ready...

 

This is easily the greatest piece of art I have ever worked on. My team and I are extremely proud of this and worked really hard together to make this a reality. Those who doubted and mocked my previous works will rue the day, and see that I'm a true artist that deserves to be respected...

I designed and programmed a brand new fancy Sound test for Sonic ERaZor 7, so I figured it's a good opportunity to showcase it and cover the entire hack's soundtrack as well! This has probably the most Blast processing and VDP tricks I've done on a static screen so far.

Despite being extremely rushed, I'm still happy with the result. Due to deadlines, this was done in a week of non-stop working and many sleepless nights. This was completed 2 hours before the deadline; talk about cutting it close!

 

Been meaning to post in here.

Now this is quality art. Ollie approves.

 

here's something I'm working on now!

I am still trying to figure out how to change the colour/color palette of the text in level select as its raw code, and yk, I can only read main code but I did manage getting everything else working, just the text needs to be palette line 1 and its done for level select!

 

Starting to get the hang of working with modding the 2013 version of Sonic 2 here and there, with me changing up some art here and there as well as the layout for Emerald Hill's first act.

 

Seeing Sonic 2 Zeta Overdrive again even if in a 2013 Sonic 2 mode was not in my bingo card at all.

 

Very wip and stuff but since I missed halloween I thought I'd atleast show some progress

 

Evening. Here's more screenshots from my modding project. A lot of update has been happening lately. Enjoy : )

 

uwu, what's this?

just note, that this hack may or may not be finished. i just started hacking again out of fun. i want to see if my motivation lasts first.

 

Progress

Spoiler: Large screenshots

 

im porting GHZ to sonic 2 for no reason

 

Terra Night, but the palette doesn't suck anymore. Heavy WIP; but I've done more for this already than for the OG one!

 

Spoiler: Large screenshot

New splash screen and title screen background

 

it looks like there's a block error here with the background (or maybe palette) If it is a palette issue, change the background color to the same as the sky If it is a block issue, make the blank tiles use the background color.

 

it was a palette issue (i also updated my screen)
