Fuze is PERFECT with Angel Island Zone Act 2

[cabo-hicks]

hi to all

well, this is a little minihack that i make for sonic 3 and sonic 3 & knuckles.

http://www.4shared.com/get/FGONqZBd/ips_s3_s3k_234min.html (4shared now need register, but is free)
they comes in "ips" form. use lunar ips and the roms for apply it. (lunar ips comes with the patches inside the rar)


it was maked using game genie codes and cccgp tool, that created a ips patch with they.
i do this thanks to one very kind guy named ugetab, that saddly not are now beetwhen us .
i ask to him about this game genie codes, cause i cant find in the whole internet this kind of time codes.

the objective, was convert sonic 3 in that really rare pirate arcade machine that i see and play years ago. with only 2 minutes of time and not 10.


details of that pirate arcade machine sonic 3:
-------------------------------------------
that pirate arcade machine never was released on mameui32 yet.
it have erased the sega logo, only allows you to select "no save" mode, and the coin credits was displayed with the "C" symbols of the copyright message. (9 credits as maximun)
but the most important.. it only have 2 minutes of time and not 10. making a true challenge!, complete the game for else sonic fan that are bored of finish it easily.


so, you must run for get the lampost for can continue from that point when the time over comes at 2 minutes.
apart, theres not needed of worry about the lives, cause you can take many extra lifes simply playing of by doing some bonus games here and there.

the only hard part playing was the final level, cause you lose many time (one entire minute!) in the robotnick ship trip.
so you been forced to perform 2º flash jumps over robotnick in the precise moment.

anyway, this is not a very hard/impossible hack, trust me .
apart, i create one notepad inside the rar with instructions and tricks/advices for can easy complete the final levels with sonic or tails.

and more sonic hacks...

this time 2 rare hacks, with 2 ponys. specially dedicated from those girls that i know we have in the forums...
(the ips donwloads are on the description of the 2 videos).

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (& knuckles) Fluttershy Edition Hack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joclP1EKnu8

Sonic & Rainbow Dash (Genesis hack) (s3&k hack)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWS_oD5yagk

well, i dont want too much ponys... i would prefer other chars or animals. but i like to play this game on a different way.
and definitivelly i have to admit that this 2 hacks was maked pretty well.
because they have changed every tails sprite, for that new ones of the 2 ponys. including the points screens and many others screens. making this char hacks very completed, compared with many others that i see around the net.


and for end, your worst nightmare!... the s3&k bosses hack by vlad
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBlad768?feature=watch
(the download is there on the right, this hack is still wip, but can be perfectly played)

is a hard hack like master edition, so try it only if you have the enough guts hehe. cause the damn could be pretty hard...
the idea however is interesting... erase almost all the levels, but keeping only some and the bonus emeralds, and over all the bosses but much more harder.


last note about the s3&k time ugetab hack that i make...
------------------------------------------------------
i discover playing recently, that the 2 o 3 minutes versions of the time hacks, causes a time over problem during the game credits!.
is rare... but anyway, you can fix that simply using the 4 minutes game genie code that i already included in the readme with the ips files.

add that game genie code for have 4 minutes only during the credits, and you not die there by a time over.
anyway, the game looks as completed in the savegame screen if you reset on the credits.
but sure that you want to see the ending, after fight against the time for end that 2,3 or 4 minutes hacks...

"My little pony" in Sonic?

[cabo-hicks]

LOL.

...well, thats why i say "for the girls of the forum..." hehe (joyjoyful rabbit sure that will like this)

anyway i really wants that other hackers make their hacks as detailed like those 2 of that girl...
even if i would prefer have much others characters in there (for example mario bros), the truth is that those 2 hacks have ALL the details changed into their hack...

not like happens compared with many others hacks. that miss the savegame screens, bonus continue icon, bonus stage sprites, and the rest, apart of have the main sprites changed.

the only hacks that also have all this, are the high quality hacks of s3&k from sonic retro (amy in s3&k for say one example, that even have new moves included too).

ps:

guys, did you know other sonic 3 & knuckles hacks (or others sonic hacks) suggestions?

hi to all, lets get back to my favorite sonic game, sonic 3 & knuckles.

this time for one interesting fangame that i discover just yesterday. it recreates the 3d bonus stages from s3&k.


the website plus the download. enjoy
http://www.bluespheresforever.com/

could be fantastic this same thing but recreating the whole game. like that mushroom hill zone 3d recreation...


by the way, that was a fangame not? then, why this never was released on a demo form at least? what a pity...
and sure that that project was abandoned like many others fanmade proyects.

[Mr.Din]

the last video was just a well mad video. it wasn't an actual game, still looks awesome though.

[cabo-hicks]

well, after many time has passed and since i dont have none news of this with exception of that youtube video, i start to thinking that maybe that one (maybe) not was one fangame after all.

maybe it was one beta engine test from sega himselft, for test how the fans value a sonic game like that. just like in the end appears sonic generations.

but the truth is that i dont have idea if this could be or not...

apart, there also exist others brillant sonic 3d fangames stoped or cancelled, and this video appears many time ago. even before of sonic 4 (that have a more poor engine compared with sonic generations).

so maybe is just one of those absolute brillant fangames canceled. or is that even that same guy now works for sega cause he makes that demo... who knows...

[cabo-hicks]

just a note about that sonic hack latios 0.3, theres a big fail in sandopolis act 2. if you play as knuckles you can get from the left the secret way gliding. but anyway the main patch with the animals trap full of ghost, that are the main way of the stage and MUST BE opened, is saddly closed . it lacks their switch for can open that door.

so, you cant continue from there without using the debug mode cheat code. you can take that pro action replay code from gshi, i think that i publish it on my gshi threat.

this is my thread, look by yourselft. i publish a lot of s3&k codes along with others game codes on there...
http://gamehacking.org/vb/threads/3220-miguelo-pro-action-replay-codes-for-genesis-amp-sms-games?s=22777ddf7a724881077c2b9e6d54474e

anyway, this latios 0.3 hack is interesting, due that you always have giant rings here and there, and hight jumps for sonic and knuckles, given you the posibilitie of replay it and change the path you take. or that you can morph to hyper knuckles against super mecha sonic without using any pro action replay code cheat.

apart, some stage palettes are interesting.

new version of the sonic 3 & knuckles harders bosses hack, by vlad.
this time is the 100.0 version. maybe the definitive version? who knows.

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBlad768?feature=watch
download at the right, from various servers. enjoy (or suffer, cause this hacks is hard )

i like to play it, but im now already playing other s3&k hacks from before...

EDIT:
-----
i play a little the 100.0 version of the s3&k hard bosses hack, and now it dont have the savegame menu or emerald ring bonus, so only have the select stage (sound test) for can play it. i prefer much better nt selet single level and play the whole game followed, so i take the old 94.7 version that still have those features.
i hope vlad come back the savegame menu and the bonuses for further versions...



EDIT:
-----
one rare hack, "sonic & knuckles corrupted, christmast edition". call it "a broken hack"...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAGmKdJMCRM
download in the description (remenber: 4shared need register, but is free)

there are more of this rare hacks from the same hacker, with broken parts/loopings, etc.
for example this, s3 corrupted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1OSOHoTpjs
(download in description)

[cabo-hicks]

another curious s3&k hack...

"Sonic & Knuckles (Hardcore Hack) - increased difficulty for hardcore players."
http://homepage.corbina.net/~lich/romhacks.html
search in that dowload page that name exactly for find the download and a shot.

this is the page of "Ti", the awesome hacker responsible of do those 2 legendary golden axe 3 genesis hacks, that allows you to play as the griffon or the enemies. this is a thing that the game already have, but that have glitches with the palette or doing some moves if not was hacked first).
apart, this guy also makes that other s3&k kunckles & tails hack, for tails follow knuckles.

notice that this s&k hardcore hack, also works with s3&k. i do the test, and it works.
apart, you can add to the mix the k&t patch if you want to have both things in the same hack.

s&k/s3&k hardcore hack features (increased difficulty):
----------------------------------------------------
time limited to 5 minutes and not 10.
you can die even with rings! (take the protections and super/hyper sonic is much more important now!)
only 5 lives as maximun.
300 rings for an extra live.
no continues (only on s&k, on s3&k you always can use the savegame for continue).

this hack is not a "total new thing", but are a little hack for play the game a little different... somethign like that s3 arcade pirate machine with 2 minutes that i already talking about.

greetings

[SoRFanatic]

I can't let you have all the fun. I managed to find this:
(of course this is just the demo).

That same person made this:

[cabo-hicks]

yeah, good.
i already have it, however due to lack of time i cant play it by now.

the final version of the s3&k harder bosses hack is released. version 100.1 by theblad768.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8srSWi-EBbk
(donwload on video description).

now is done. it have the savegame feature again, and 2 giant ring bonus on angel island zone act 1 and mushroom hill act1, for can take all the 14 emeralds from s3 and s&k parts using the savegame level select after completing the game.

the game features hard but well balanced bosses, as one true challengue for s3&k fans. in fact, is the most interesting hack i see of their kind, cause others like master edition etc are much more hard, due to the very harder levels that they have.

but this, have interesting and harder bosses well balanced, without stage, so you appears in almost all the levels directly into the boss room.

have you the guts enought for end it with the 4 characters (included s&t)?
show that you are enough good playing sonic games for end this!

[cabo-hicks]

a Spanish saying says: "donde dije "digo", ahora digo "diego", more or less translated will be: "where I said "say", now i say "diego". .

but for you english talkers this maybe would be: "where i said "say", now i say "seed"...
ok never mind... that is, i rectified.


sonic 3 & knuckles harder bosses, version 100.2. now with the emeralds bonus also harder. (see the video).
anyway, you always can use savestates for help you...

(download on the video description)

is supposed that this will be the definitive final version. but who knows... i dont swear it now...

[cabo-hicks]

"supposed" final version 100.3 of the s3&k harders bosses hack...

ps:

i already tell to the guy that he always say the same "final version", but that then he lie... hehehe

[cabo-hicks]

Hi to all.

i been experimenting... and i discover that those s&k corrupted hacks (normal and christmas edition) by "mario&pit" that i talk before, are both almost identical.

so, the only difference are the red cap and the snow palette on mushroom hill zone.


apart, if you use lunar ips and compares the original s&k rom with those 2 hacks roms, you can easily extract the ips patches...
then, i notice that those 2 ips patches can be used too on s3&k. just like that s&k hardcore (hard hack) ips by ti.


finally, i compared these two s&k corrupted hacks, and using lunar ips i can extract a single patch that gives you ONLY the christmas edition part.

i mean... give to sonic the red cap and the snow palette for mushroom hill, BUT WITHOUT none other stage corrupted modification. this can be used in s&k and s3&k too.


so, i made a little pack with the 3 patches extracted...

including:
----------
-the s&k corrupted normal and christmas vers ips hacks (for be used on s3&k roms).
-and also the christmas little patch, that gives you only that red cap for sonic and the musroom hill snow palette. (for use on s&k and s3&k too).


enjoy

[cabo-hicks]

uppps... it looks theres a little bug using the christmas hack in sonic 3 alone rom...

cause in launch base act2, the stage appears bad, both the scenary and some rare elements here an there. however, you can continue playing until you reach the final boss where you must kill the 1st boss and take the robotnick ship.

in that part, theres a block there that dont let you access to the ship. so you must be forced to use the debug mode pro action replay code (see my blog, in my genesis gshi post i have posted that debug code for s3 and for s3&k games).

however, theres nothing wrong using the christmas patch with s3&k.
the only new things i discovered is that flying battery act1 zone now becomes more easy, and that some others act1 levels has changed their palette colours for the snow one like on muhroom.
but apart of this, the s3&k christmas hack can be ended perfectly. without need use for nothing the debug mode pro action replay code.

this fail with sonic 3 must be one incompatibility issue beetwhen s3 and s3&k. cause maybe s3&k game must use the same adress that s3 uses for the launch base act2...

but i never think this hack will cause none problems with s3, since the original patch was maked only for s&k. and it dont have none change maked for launch base, cause s&k obviously dont have that stage even...

greetings

Sonic Lost World new characters



Let me guess at first silhouette on left, its a female and she's was like Chameleon like Espio's horn and tail

[iceweb38]

So the trailer for Sonic Lost Worlds got released
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-sIkDWfccU

Clearly you can see Nintendo is co-developping the game coz it looks like Sonic x Super Mario Galaxy.
Not too mad it's a Nintendo exclusive though, it looks fun but I'm not that hyped.
