I love it so much I play it all the time on real hardware, clones, emulator and Mega SG! So cool that it works with 3 players, now all I need is 2 friends...that could be a problem 😀👍
This was brilliant to watch with all the edits and reactions used throughout the testing phase. I thought the intro and ending were amusing. Great job for digging deeper into the error codes for Sonic 2 Heroes and found the solution in the end (or at least how to make it work). At least Sonic Classic Heroes was like the improved version of its predecessor. 3 players, now we're talking full control.
From what I remember, you *can* change characters while doing 3 players. The two players who wish to swap with each other must both press the swap character button at the same time, and it should switch between them.
Just saw the teasers for this and realised what the time was... On a side note I discovered you when you played this hack with Razor and Zenon all those years ago. Good times...
It would be awesome to see an even more extreme version of this with Amy added as a 4th playable character so you could use that entire 4 player Multitap.
This was a really good video, I enjoyed while I watched the real hardware testing of the Sonic Classic Heroes hack. :) I hope Flamewing will release the next version on the next decade with more teams, more texture options and more features.
Imagine if super tails and knuckles figurine: to pull off the glowing effect, has a sort of glittery-shine to them, so when you cast a light on them it glows slightly.
Once, this was the definitive way the play Sonic 1 and 2, thanks to the options that basically allow you to play the originals. Then Taxman decided to make his own Sonic 1 and 2
If i remember right, Sonic 2 Heroes constantly froze when i beat Wing Fortress, so i hung my head in shame and gave up on it. I loved the game until i couldn't complete it.
Brand new viewer here. I want to say, that "BDIWORH" series are really good. You combine both Real Hardware testing and Overview of interesting ROMs and Hacks in single video, and I personally barely watch Classic Sonic Game videos, but yours are an exception because of that. Good luck with your career, you're doing hella good job!
Wonderful video RHS! Yes Sonic Classic Heroes works on real hardware, although I personally encountered a crash in Oil Ocean Zone when I played it through but only once. Would have been nice if you showed the play footage from your European Mega Drive for a change seeing as the game booted up on that system, in saying that though I hate hearing Sonic 2's music slow, Flamewing and ColinC10 forgot to optimise the Sonic 2 half of the rom. Actually what they should have done was use both SMPS 68k for the Sonic 1 half and SMPS Z80 for the Sonic 2 half just like ColinC10's Sonic 1 & 2 hack. Now the Sonic 1 & 2 hack has bugs and crashes on real hardware but that's for another video. FUN FACTS: 1. It may interest alot of you that this hack has a reproduction cart available. 2. For some strange reason the PSG periodic hi-hat cymbal in this game is replaced by a PSG white noise one sounding inferior. 3. The entire soundtrack was done in SMPS V1 Z80 sound driver (not SMPS 68k).
This looks awesome. Some of the best ideas I have seen realized on the fan side of development was to "fix" the ideas they had for their flops. I saw an absolutely incredible Atari Pacman remade with the same data size cart.
This makes me wonder if Big's Fishing Derby runs on Real Hardware, share your support and like this comment so redhotsonic can do an episode out of it as well!
Hey btw there is actually a pop up on this time "4:32" yea just slow mo it and yea the answer to that messeage is "I want respect for Knux and Tails GOT IT RHS!!!" yea that's that.
@@saifulbaharialinoordin9019 - That's not how it works. The European ROM of Sonic 2 works on any regional Mega Drive (Genesis). In fact, I'm 99% certain the ROM is identical no matter where it was sold.
I added this game to my Sega Genesis Mini. And it works just it does on a emulator, only you’re playing on a tv this time. Actually, Hakachi (correct me if I got that software name wrong) Has allowed lots of Sonic rom hacks to be played on the Sega Genesis Mini.
I found Sonic Classic Heroes on eBay, and twice I got copies that just would not work longer than 30 seconds before crashing on my UK pal Mega Drive, any advice on getting it to work?
@The eccentric owl Usually repros work and boot up better than original cartridges but there is a small chance that you have defectives there. Do other games work just fine on your PAL Mega Drive? Have you got a Mega-CD attached? If so, disconnect it and boot the game. Did you purchase both copies from the same seller? And was this seller from China or Hong Kong? I only ask because alot of dodgy sellers come from that region. Blow into the contacts and keep trying. You need to be very cautious where you buy cheap reproduction carts from, don't buy from sellers that don't accept returns unless they have a 100% approval rating. Because of Coronavirus I had to buy my reproduction cart of Sonic Megamix from Great Britain which cost alot more than my usual region of purchase which is China. All the post offices are closed over there in China so your parcel won't be shipped anytime soon. I recently bought Sonic Megamix on a reproduction cart and it works great! The only difference I noticed is that the SEGA screen, Sonic Modification screen and Sonic Retro splash screen were all missing, the game boots straight to the ''Team Megamix Presents'' screen and the control scheme is always set to ''Megamix'', classic control scheme in the preference options doesn't seem to work, other than that it's 100% the same as the downloadable bin hack.
My pal UK Mega Drive is the old Mega Drive 1 with nothing attached, it has always worked fine with every other game including another bootleg. Both cartridges were from different sellers but based on the design of the cartridges came from the same source. It was really weird because the game had no lag or apparent problems while running until it crashed but because that was usually less than a minute I didn't really get to try much.
@@theeccentricowl7150 If you have another Mega Drive system like a different motherboard revision of the first model like a VA5 or VA6 or a model II Mega Drive, try the carts on another system. If none of my troubleshooting tips work it may be that the carts you have are faulty. The supplier of these bootlegs might be at fault especially if they look like they came from the same place, it might not necessarily be the seller's fault. You should ask for a refund if they don't work. Remember what I said in my last post, never buy reproduction carts from sellers that don't accept returns unless they have a 100% approval rating OR they have personally tested the cartridge themselves. In my case, my copy of Sonic Megamix was tested before hand and was bought from a seller with 100% approval rating. Good luck!
Whoa, I wonder how the heck they managed to cram all individual color pallettes for Knuckles and Tails in Sonic 1!? Considering Sonic 1 being quite limited in terms of free memory space for color color palette. Sonic 1 has Palette #0 which has total of 16 colorswhich are shared between Sonic, Robotnik, Items and Badniks; Palette #1 - 16 level colors, and Palette #2 - 16 colors for the background sheets. One exception is Labyrinth Zone and Scrap Brain zone 3, where they got Palette #3 the alt colors for underwater level and character+items. My only thought is that the hack creators somehow managed to make separate color Palette#4 for Tails and Knuckles, and probably shifted some items in the memory cache, to create free space for palette.
