Streets of Rage Hacks

Streets of Rage 2 Double Dragon

Billy and Jimmy fight against mrx

after a long time
I bring my last work in hacks,
Mai KoF XIII.

I'm a great fan of your work klares. One day, I wish to know how to change the character portrait
and lifebar icon.

This is a wip of Michael Jackson Moonwalker for Street of Rage:

The sprites are edited and resized in order to make a complete SOR character.
Need to do:
- Electric shock frame
- more details on sprites (mostly on Michael face)
I need some criticizes on this to shape it near perfection.

Here's the .bin file if you want to try it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12oekhpGRIWW5Ify4F65YOTVaDx8E5ous
Final version is coming in few days, stay tuned

If you're using the tool Pancake 3, you can add the portrait and life icon by going to Edit > Portrait/Icon and loading your image to use for the character. The image sizes you need are 48x48 for the portrait (character select and cutscenes) and 16x16 for the lifebar icon.

Another thing, when you imported Michael into the game, his colors had to be automatically changed to fit the game's palette, so before importing sprites into the game you should edit your sprites so that they use only the colors from the palette being used.

@Soulfireblaze: Thank you for your clear answer, that's helps me much

I'm working on a Thriller version also who have Axel behaviour:

I can release a hack mode for this 2 characters if you want to test them.

Otherwise I think I'll continue on SOR2X openbor project made by Kratus that is more dynamic and offers more possibilities:

I've been trying out some old Rom hacks for fun and i think i've found the best SOR Rom Hack. Its the Final Fight hack by Kratus.


I was expecting a cheap glitchy reskin but i was surprised by the quality of the hack. I've noticed no game breaking glitches and the sprites scale proportionately and it even has the SFX from FF.

Though, Its kinda disappointing that Haggard doesn't have his trademark piledriver, the character that won me over is Guy, like holy shit! I never like guy or cody but in this rom hack he's the best character, he's arguably one of the best fan inserted character in SOR games. Guy's 3 hit combo feels so much more satisfying here due to the increased speed and his special move is like an improved version of Axel's million punch with a better reach.

New ROM Hack of Streets of Rage 2, starring Doraemon and the other main characters.

Hi guys!

There is someone here that can help me change the sprites of an enemy on SOR2 hack tool?

I'm modding the game, but the editor says "compressed" and I can't import my sprites.

Thanks.

Compressed art can't be edited through Pancakes itself.

Thanks Waruiva.

I have to use Tile Layer Pro?

I opened the rom, but I don't know how to deal with that.

I will search more about it, if you say that I have too use it.

Do you have some tutorial?

See what I'm planning:



I will publish my sprite work in devianart.

There is a document on Romhacking.net about changing the title screen and character select portraits. You might be able to apply it to compressed enemy sprites.

Thank you very much Waruiva.

Do you know how they add new characters like in The Sor2 Sindicate?

There is a tutorial?

There is a way to avoid this "break" in sprite?

My sprite is a little bigger than the original, but seens that the sprite is limited to original sprite "size".

You can always generate new sprites as long as you don't exceed the ROM Size's 4MB limit. Customizing enemies is much easier with an older version of SOR2 Syndicate Wars hack, which converted enemies from compressed to uncompressed.

I managed to do the "generate new" using "generate from image".

Again, thanks a lot.

There is a way that I can convert to uncompressed?

The process of making enemies load uncompressed graphics takes a lot of work. I think in Syndicate Wars, they were coded to use specific art locations based on their enemy slot like with players.

Here, this is a romhack of sor2 that I made where I put garfield in the game.
