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!

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?

Hello Friends!
I think such a topic is missing, and many of us are having a hard time ...
Some files like those of Klares and his patch Blaze R
https://sorr.forumotion.net/t210-blaze-r-naked-hack-completado
come to us in the form of files with the extension .ips
How to mount and use such files to the SorR engine??

I'm having trouble launching SoRR, when I try to play the game, it says: error, galsia.pal not found.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or that my file archiver is a WinZip. Let me know

Hey folks, I've been fiddling with the AI Editor since 5.2 is pretty much impossible to enjoy "out of the box", and I think I found a sweet spot, but one thing is bugging me. Are certain bosses supposed to be so fast and aggressive regardless of speed and agressivness setting? The best example for this is SOR2 Zamza or SOR1 Shiva. Yes, I made sure that my settings are applied to both enemies and bosses.

On a side note, what does "evade" setting do? I haven't noticed any difference regardless of which option i choose.

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to get SORR working on the Anbernic 353v handheld, can anyone give me some pointers? I've tried putting the files in the same folder as Portmaster, but nothing is working.

Hi all. My game doesn't see colors on the splash screen. How to solve this problem?

Hello,
I played V5.1 of SORR years/almost a decade ago and loved it. I recently downloaded V5.2, tried to do Mania a few times and got scummed out on the last level (cronies wouldn't let me get close to Mr. X enough to take out his 6 life bars   , or I didn't know how the randomized bomb disarming trap rooms worked anymore on the "SOR3" route and got the bad ending... but I would've gotten my ass kicked by Boss Shiva anyway since I only had 1 life left going into that area). After dealing with this frustration, I have a few questions:

-Does anyone have a list of all the 1up locations in SORR V5.2? I feel like I could be missing some (like some I'm forgetting about that I got in V5.1 and I need all the edge I can get since I'm not that good)?

-What are the actual differences in the A.I from version 5.2 compared to 5.1? I was looking for a video or post about this aspect, but has anyone done a detailed analysis of the differences (or even just some differences you should know about when approaching them)?

I don't think I can rest until I've finally beaten V5.2 on Mania. They're playing really dirty.



Edit: I did beat the game on Mania last night, but am still curious with the questions in case anyone is willing to answer.

I probably already know the answer since I haven't seen it included in anyones mod but..

can we create motorcycle scenes in SORM like in the standard SORR?

maybe some sort of creative work around?

Hello my name is Scara this is probably my first and only time using this forum site but I created an account here to ask for any help.

Now I'm not no tech head that has deep knowledge of windows inner workings but I'm in contact with some guys that are. Simply put I am looking for the direct open source code of SoRR V5.2 so I can give it to these guys so they can potentially try to convert the game into a UWP package that can be loaded into Microsoft's Xbox Developer Mode as a seperate application. With it more people can play this coveted remake on their Xboxes without having to jump through some convoluted hoops. If anyone has knowledge on how to dump the game's code contact me either through here or on discord I have the exact username there as I have here

Hope someone reads this soon and reaches out to me ASAP

Trust me, the source code of this game will never be released. I don't know if it's for good or for bad anymore.
