Questions & How To's

i downloaded this game today. love it. but i don't understand how saves work. they're really inconsistent and i don't want to keep having to restart the game every time i have to stop playing. can someone explain them to me?

I believe closing the game by pressing the X in the corner will make a quicksave that'll return you to the beginning of the last screen you entered when you start the game up again, however pausing and exiting ends your playthrough and you have to start again.

Hi Benny!

I need a little info: Probably u have played the new V5.2 patch already and you got known about the update a little bit!
My question is how do we get the ,,Homerun trophy,, in V5.2 game? What should we complete/do in order
to achieve that?

Thanks Sshadow! Actually one of my friends needs this trophy not me, but hopefully this V5.2 save data will satisfy him at all, we'll see!!!

I have a question. I've heard that SORR v5.2 allows you to just drop custom palettes in the mod game folder instead of replacing the palettes but I can't seem to get this to work. Does anyone know how this works?

Inside the mod folder should be a folder named "palettes", then inside that (or in mine) i have "chars" and "enemies" folders. Inside those you have the palette files themselves. They should work then.

From the bugtrack:

275. Sormaker: Added support for custom enemy palettes.
- Create a file called "enable_pal" on the main folder of your mod. (no file extension)
- Create palettes/enemies folder and drop your files inside.
- If you want to replace Abadede palette 3, keep abadede.pal (reference) and abadede3.pal (palette).
- The game will load the missing palettes from the original directory.

How can I unpack the SoRR.dat so it would be easier to make override data files, like custom sound files etc?

Good eve all.
I recently acquired an rg300 gaming handheld that came loaded with Streets of Rage Remake 5.1. I'm running into an issue with trying to map controls. What's happening is that whenever I attempt to remap using the handheld buttons they refuse to actually register. So I end up getting stuck at the remap screen and have to restart. When loading the game fresh the controls more or less work (although for some reason I can't use the L or R button to change which version of a given character I can use like the different versions of Axel), but any attempts to remap and the program just refuses to think it can read them.

Does anyone have any experience with this or have a possible fix?

Good day everyone, I'm trying to run the game on xbox360, I ran into a widescreen problem: in version 5.2 it is supported and set in the settings, but I don't understand what parameters need to be set in the xbox.cfg file. If you can tell me what parameters need to be set so that the game runs in full screen mode in 16/9 aspect ratio at 720p resolution.
The same text, but in Russian:
Всем доброго времени суток, пытаюсь запустить игру на хвох360, столкнулся с проблемой широкоформатности: в версии 5.2 она поддерживается и в настройках выставляется, но я не понимаю какие параметры нужно установить в файле xbox.cfg. Если можно подскажите какие параметры нужно установить, чтобы игра запускалась в полноэкранном режиме в соотношении сторон 16/9 при разрешении 720p.

Hi, I have just started playing SoR Remake and am really enjoying it, however there are quite a bunch of things I am unsure of and am trying to understand but I can't find anywhere, for example:

a) Do I need to finish the game first to unlock CPU Friend mode? And at any difficulty mode? What about SOR Maker?

b) What do these options do in the Game Options menu?
- Death Type
- Pause Delay
- SOR3 Exceptions

c) Is it possible to save the game before finishing all stages? My time to play is usually quite short and I rarely play the game until the end on one sit.

d) Is there any documentation that explains all the game settings and other useful infos?
(Edit: I just found out there's a Manual included inside the version 5.1; it is lacking in the version 5.2, would appreciate if added)

Is this community dead? because I've been looking and asking EVERYWHERE for solutions to fix the audio problem I'm getting with this game, and all I've been getting is radio silence. I really want to fully enjoy the remake the community helped work so hard on...

I have been playing SoRR for many years with great Joy. First of all thank you for this great project.

I can't set any screen filters on SoRR 5.2. No HQ versions, no scanlines. Is that intended? Or is it a bug?

I'm Using Windows 10, I have done a clean install and I have also tried all F keys.

My game also started with greyed out VSync and Video modes. I had to enter SORRv52\mod\system.txt and set it to desktop manually to activate those setting.

I'm playing on a 55" screen. Original pixel mode really looks bad. I wish for some filters like mame or retroarch. I hope the developers had some time and develop those kind of filters one day.

Anyway. Thank you for this project again !

Can say I'm having similar problems. Alt-Enter doesn't change between windowed and fullscreen, and I don't know how to get the game fullscreen on a second monitor.

It's been several years since I last played this and I'm pretty sure I was running a version pre 5.0, but is there a way on 5.1 to stretch the image to fill a 1920x1080 display? I know of the fullscreen launcher and while that does work, it leaves black bars on the sides of the screen (to maintain a 4:3 aspect ratio I suppose.) I swear when I played years ago I was able to scale it properly somehow, and that was with the exact same monitor I am using now.

Is there some way to do a sort of bordered windowless hack so it displays the way 5.2 does?
