Various Sonic romhacks
Since most popular Sonic hacks tend to be put out as just roms instead of patches...I've been putting together or fixing some myself. I figured since there is a pretty big fanbase of this stuff it's worth making a thread to dump this stuff in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knuckles in Sonic 1 (Apply to Sonic & Knuckles locked on with Sonic 1):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/69kgx ... c+1%29.ips
This one is pretty clear. Instead of having Sonic 1 when locked into S&K loading up Blue Sphere it'll do what it should have in the first place and let you play as Knuckles in the entirety of Sonic 1.
If you don't have S&K for the Sega Genesis, here's the same patch that you can just apply to Sonic 1 by itself.
Knuckles in Sonic 1 (Apply to Sonic 1 Rev. 0):

Sonic 3 Complete. This is essentially a definitive and bugfixed version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Lots of fun stuff here

Sonic 2 XL. Turns golden rings into onion rings. Collect too many and die of obesity. Stupid and challenging but fun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonic 2 with Jump Dash and Homing Attacks. Pretty self-explanatory.

Metal Sonic HYPERDRIVE. Pretty damn awesome and original game featuring Metal Sonic. It's worth your time trust me.

Sonic Megamix. It's pretty amazing supposedly but I hadn't put much time into it.

The S Factor. Another good original game. Apply to Sonic 2:

I can do requests but unlike the Super Famicom translation and conversion threads they won't be as quick, and I generally won't go out of my way to make patches for Sonic 1 since there's 2 versions of it which require twice the work. Anyway I just figured I would share the ones I've fixed up thus far. Enjoy.

Re: Various Sonic romhacks
I have the Sonic 3 Complete patch from your patch folder, love it. Also grabbed Sonic Megamix. I had no idea about the Metal Sonic Hyperdrive, is the Sonic 3 patch for that strictly Metal Sonic in Sonic 3 & K, or is it the actual Metal Sonic game?
Also not to nitpick, but it's Mecha Sonic technically. Metal is the one that debuted in Sonic CD. Silver Sonic is in Sonic 2 Genesis/Game Gear/SMS.

Re: Various Sonic romhacks
One of my faves is Ordinary Sonic ROM Hack: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1912/
Give it a try, there's no specific reason not to..

As for the nitpick bring it up to the creator of the romhack, not me...he was the one that named it, i just fix up patches and i couldnt care less about the semantics.
That ordinary sonic hack looks awesome by the way hah
Re: Various Sonic romhacks
I own Sonic 1 as part of the Sega Genesis 6-Pak game. Could you make the Sonic 1 hacks work with that?
Re: Various Sonic romhacks
It's possible yes but it would require me to re-do all of them using the cartridge you own as the basis. Unfortunately free time is not something I have in abundance these days for a request like that but if there's only one particular patch/hack you'd be okay with then sure that's fine, I can at least do that for you.
Re: Various Sonic romhacks
In particular I'd like Knuckles in Sonic 1. Thanks
Re: Various Sonic romhacks
Sure. This will turn your 6-pak cartridge Knuckles into Sonic 1. This will essentially wipe the rest of the games out in the 6 pak though while the patch is applied. Nothing I can do about that as while I can make patches to turn one rom into another i'm not to be mistaken as a full fledged rom hacker.

Re: Various Sonic romhacks
That's fine with me, I can turn off the patch to play the other games. Thanks again man!
