Been looking forward to seeing this after reading the title of your own works. 1:42 was amusing: "What was I thinking" I like how well you've progressed through your Sonic rom hacking journey. The backstory behind Sonic 2 Time Attack from a technical point of view was interesting to reach the final conclusion. Yes, we all learn from our mistakes after re-testing and oversights. Overall, fantastic video where a lot of hard work has been put into all this. Still looking forward to seeing a live stream of you and Millie do Sonic multiplayer hacks.
It’s great looking at all of your ROM hacks and how far you have gone, I will certainly miss the potential for a Part 2 of Sonic 2 Recreation. Cheers on your journey!
Man Sonic 2 Recreation looks amazing! Seeing how good it is almost makes me want to try and make a Rom Hack myself but I doubt I ever good. I have no idea how to code in Hex or anything like that.
The distortion on Sonic 2 Recreation’s game over screen when on console makes it sound even more like *it was forged from THE DEPTHS OF HELL where SONIC.EXE RESIDES*
Several times I have thought "I bet I could make a finished version of Sonic 2 Recreation in a level editior with some tinkering." But I never thought if I should. I'm not saying its a bad game, would love to finish it, but it takes a lot of dedication to make a full game. Even in a level editor, without any coding, except for the cutscenes in a seperate program, it still would take a while.
I think you should try the sonic adventure 1 and 2 prototypes and trial versions on real hardware. I would love to see more Saturn and Dreamcast stuff in this awesome series.
Did Redhotsonic ever finish part 2? I heard it was in the works a while back but damn ,this is so good it feels like a official Sega game, and that's the dream. Ive never been able to figure out to properly disassemble and create my own Sonic games, and there's no Mario Maker equivalent in our future likely so, I'm at the mercy of the amazing modders like RHS :) :)
Your little series made me interested in picking up a genesis of my own, now I own a Model 2! I'd love to get these hacks working on my own system, Bash especially for the multi-player with my best friend.
It bothers me so much that the Model 2 Mega Drive has a slide switch instead of the Genesis 2's latching pushbutton. Such fond memories of ragequitting with a peck of the index finger.
I just wanna point out, all the faults with RHS v0.90 here also persist on Fusion 3.64, like the Hidden Palace graphical corruptions, Medievel lacking collision, etc. I still remember all this from when I experienced playing said hack (alongside Sonic 2 Recreation) on said emulator like, 7 years ago. I also enjoyed Sonic Bash, even before it's v2 upgrade. I believe this was the first time I saw Sonic 2 Time Attack in action, and might I say, I don't think I ever saw anyone put that much effort into a "cheat trap" system, and specifically for emulators in mind, no less.
WAIIIT, You introduced us to Sonic 2 Recreation 9 years ago, and you made 18 videos on it since 2011 about it, So why is it JUST NOW getting a "But does it work on real hardware?" Video?
don't wanna alarm you RHS, but the whole "save state crash" anti-cheat measure in sonic 2 time attack doesn't work on mednafen might wanna keep that in mind when people submit times to your discord server
9:13 ahh yes the us sonic cd game over wasn't scary enough, it had to be distorted and now definitely children will have nightmares for the rest of the lives.
Your hacks at least came to a level of playability 😂 you also did custom level layouts and art which is so rare in the Sonic hacking community. Not a complaint just an observation. Honestly designing levels is so difficult for me. Not sure why. I’ve tried so many different level making tools for so many games and it is hard to find the right spot to itch. It’s easy to also get lost for hours. Easy to f*ck up the collision or otherwise have issues. 😅 I know how to program but I’ve never done much with it outside of really basic JAVA based UI and text based programs. Hard to really be motivated to do anything major when work is so draining and my weekends are me recovering from the week. 😓
Oh and when you’re designing a level it can be hard to tell when it is finished. That’s another issue I have. And the relative feeling of “is this fun?” Then again I’ve only ever finished a single level in Mario maker and it is... not awful but it is lacking. I know these things take time.
Another awesome red hot, tongue licking video from the master of owning every Mega Drive, Genesis and EverDrive model you can think of! And I disagree with a few things that were said in this video, for one, you're not an idiot far from it, you're a very skilled editor at learning the code who has matured over the years and has also become a loving husband and father in the time since these hacks were made. To become the awesome video creator you are today it took a some what retirement route from the hacking scene to achieve the status you have now. We only get better at learning the technology of what we love as time passes so most of the mishaps from your hacks can be forgiven as it was from a time when EverDrives and split modifications were very hard to come by. I'm not trying to upset anyone but the only gripe I have is when you give the verdict of (partially), to me it either works or it doesn't, having to reset and continue from the next playable level just to pass the crashed level or corrupted title card glitch shouldn't really be a passable oversight in the slightest, i'm referring to ''Sonic 2 Time Attack'' mainly as it crashes at the end of Wing Fortress with Super Sonic cancelling out. Any glitch, error handler or crash that breaks the game and hinders you from continue on a normal play means it's f--ked! And believe me I know hundreds of Sonic hacks that do this. But at the end of the day that's just my little nit-pick, I fully respect yours and everybody else's opinions and as I said above, any mishaps these hacks have are to be forgiven as they're made from a time of inaccurate emulator cycles when EverDrives were not fully available. As for the crown jewels, ''Sonic 2 Recreation'' you bet your arse it works on real hardware! That hack is a magnificent gem in the library of great and interesting Sonic hacks. Looking forward to more of your videos redhot Sonic.
If there was another level that also crashed that you couldn't pass, then I'd probably would have said no, but I thought in this case, that would have been too harsh. But clearly it's not 100% either; hence the partial rating exists. I was very close to even giving S2TA a partial rating. Also, thanks for the kind words! :)
If you mean Time Attack, that's because you have SRAM disabled and the cheat system can't work without it. Disabling it makes it think you're cheating so it locks up. Enable SRAM and it should work.
1:03 What's the background music used here? I've definitely heard it before. I remember now - It's an unused theme from Sonic Advance 2 (Leaf Storm, I think), but it's the rendition you made for Recreation.

You stole my idea early
Instead of shouting "SEEEGAAA!!" they should shout "REEEEED HOOOOT!!".
@Icecoldbluesonic hi
That or instead of Redhot they can also do "JEEEEET PAAAAACK"
what if it just plays an 16-bit version of the intro theme instead of shouting anything
they can also do "AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

This is too realistic.

This was the last video before the an ordinary sonic rom hack video too

I don't even own a Genesis or Megadrive or whatever, but I still find these videos really entertaining.
Had no idea you were an official rom Modder. My respect for you has increased infinity. Best wishes
Seeing how you posted S2R's OST on real hardware, I knew that would work
Not necessarily. The OST just proves that sound test works on real hardware 😛

The fact that every single sound is distorted (especially the Sonic CD US Game Over tune,) makes it 100x creepy than it needed to be lol
I 100% expected "Sonic 2 Bash!" to be a Genesis remake of the old Java mobile version of Sonic 2 with the same name.
I personally think Sonic 2 Time Attack is literally your best ROM Hack. Sharing your records, beating them? I just like that.
8:20 that is a cool way to end it thanks for sharing that

I have an x5 and model 2 but I can't get sonic 2 r to work, just to let you know
redhotsonic 2 is a masterpiece
I agree
RHS at the start : * pets a balloon with ego written on it . Also him : ...what?
I love the different games and the stage music this is cool
Could you release the source for S2R? The community could continue from where you left off.
Really want a update video for this , I really enjoy Sonic time attack m8! Thanks m8 cheers 🍻
I rember playing your red hot sonic 2 game it was very interesting I love what you did when the game
It bothers me so much that the Model 2 Mega Drive has a slide switch instead of the Genesis 2's latching pushbutton.
Such fond memories of ragequitting with a peck of the index finger.
Only the Japanese MD2 is a slide switch due to its locking mechanism. The European MD2 is the same as the Genesis 2 with its push-in button :)
RedHotSonic, will you release the Sonic 2 Recreation or other projects' disassembly files or no?
and this confirms my 10th video followed by the series that i see in the notification!
God what is your favourite youtuber me without thinking red hot🔥sonic
Whenever your oc (redhot sonic) does the peace sign I do it back
That's a rad SEGA intro screen though!
Do you think to test Yoshi in Sonic 2? i wish to see if that actually work in real hardware.
You have a great start
you look like a everdrive collector good job RHS!

Because BDIWORH is less than a year old and I wasn't sure about doing mine until I did a poll a few months back but over 95% of people voted yes.
@@redhotsonic Touche'. Also, I still can't believe this hack is that old though, just has a new feel to it...
Over dramatic intro? Guess this will be a VERY good episode
12:16 12:30 What’s that outro BGM?
Gem Runway Act 2 (but it's the MIDI version that was converted for Sonic 2 Recreation).
Yes back to the mega drive
Yes
Sonic 3 hard bosses edition? It could be extremely great to work on a real hardware!
Sooo, are we still able to help out on making Part 2, or is it cancelled indefinitely?
I mean fans of RHS could make part 2 but maybe
Hey red hot sonic I played sonic 2 recreation on the mega drive mini and it was fun and is my favourite sonic rom hack
Hell yeah, your own hack sick
If you were to make one last Sonic ROM hack; I'd like for it to be the second part to Sonic 2 Recreation.

As soon as I start up Emerald Hill Zone, the game locks up. With no cheats, nothing like that, it just decides to lock up.
