So now seeing this on the console not only made me feel what I said before, but it like...actually blew my mind. I might honestly have to check this out now. Thanks for making Christmas even better than before.
@carlosiagnecznot necessarily. If it has a decompilation like SM64 and OOT, modding is as simple as directly editing the code. With traditional rom hacks, there is a lot of hacky tricks they use to get it working right. Like with SM64 ASM hacks, most hacks could never run on real hardware because the hacky techniques they used were only done with emulator in mind. But a decompilation "hack" works more like a modification, the native code is being edited directly.
@@Xenon_XTH if it had a graphics chip in the cart helping like starfox and virtua racer i think they could make a proper port without the drastic downscaling
The Doom engine doesn't have a "draw distance" in the sense true 3-D games do. If its in the viewable area, its drawn. Everything that isn't immediately viewable is not drawn. This is why there is zero pop-in as well.
Wow, I was purely speculating the other week when I commented how we would likely see this game ported to 32X before Saturn or any other console given the existence of other projects like Doom Resurrection. I had no idea this mad man was actually doing a real port. Insanity.
early to mid 90s,by late 1999 we had way better graphics and pc folk even in 1991 had better graphics but yeah thisi s what the 32x sonic should of been
@random_an0n By 1995/96 this would have looked pretty typical compared to the 3D PS1/N64 games coming out, but it still would have competed well I think. My 6-8 year old self would have loved to play it.
aj, this is pure magic. never thought we'd get from stair slopes and barely-functioning dreamcast ports to marvels like this. merry christmas, old friend!
Well, it's a little ironic that you mention stair slopes since this demo doesn't have real slopes either, but yes this is EXTREMELY impressive and awesome nonetheless! SRB2 has come a long way.
@@Trimint123 Not everything based on a game for an old console is a ROM hack. The new Doom port likely used the source code to create an entirely separate and improved port that has nothing to do with the official one.
Homing Attack instead of “Thok”? You’ve messed with the natural order! Lol, jokes aside this IS very awesome. Happy anniversary SRB2 XMAS and merry christmas
Not gonna lie, but for a while now I've been thinking it'd make more sense just to give Sonic the Homing Attack and Metal Sonic the Thok. It'd let Sonic fit better an onboarding space for new players as "the default pick" while letting Metal take on the role of "High Speed, High Risk". Since he's an unlockable character, people would be used to the game by the time they got to play as him, so the difficulty and finesse of the Thok wouldn't turn players away or lead to "I'm just gonna rely on Tails flying me around." (Especially since Metal Sonic plays Solo.)
@@Jackelbeaver Honestly I like this idea, and it's probably the only "removal" of the Thok that I'd actually accept. Not only does this replace Metal Sonic's boring hover with something far more fun, but it also feels more thematically fitting for Metal Sonic in general. (Plus, the idea that Metal Sonic wants to be the "true Sonic" by mimicing what was once his ability is funny)
i think it makes a lot of sense here given the more limited controls, a mega drive controller just doesn't give you the finesse to aim a thok like on keyboard and mouse
@@Jackelbeaver I HEAVILY agree with you, although I think the devs have gone on to say they want to remove all traces of Thok, which personally hurts me just because I love SRB2 for it’s ongoing legacy (and of course, the fact that I’ve been playing since 2.0 as Sonic)
Getting a stripped down SRB2 to work on a 32X is like putting Sonic Mania on a base Genesis. Both are intended to mimic the capabilities of the Saturn instead, but you made this anyways. *Absolute insanity.*
I had informal talks elsewhere and theoretically Sonic Mania would require the 32X and the Sega CD (aka, the Tower of Power combo) to run on a Genesis, namely out of the ROM size limitations and the extra color and CPU processing capabilities of the 32X for the special stages.
@@Bobsicanthe 32X + CD combo isn’t that far off from a Saturn in terms of power. Sadly very very few games utilized it, and the ones that did were corpse killer and night trap
@@SaturnTubes32x + CD is closer to PS1 than Sega Saturn. Argonaut Games devs said recently that Sega Saturn was more powerful than PSX, so the rank would be in terms of power specs: N64>Sega Saturn (multi cpu architecture)>PS1>Atari Jaguar>3DO=Sega CD + 32X > Amiga CD32=NEC PC-FX
@ Argonaut’s game devs were notorious liars even back in the day, and no one at the new company can be trusted too much. Saturn was not stronger than the PS1, partially due to how it rendered the polygons. However, it had a better processor for doing 2D spites which is why literally all of the best games on the console are 2D based(yes, Nights is not among the best games it’s just among the most iconic). The big ace Saturn had over the PS1 is the 4MB ram cart and the Video CD card add ons, but much like the 32X+CD combo, very few games ever utilized these as a combo. And ironically, the ones they did also used 2D graphics
Man, this just feels so right. You did what Sega never could - 30 years later, we finally have a 3D Sonic on the 32X. Crazy respect to all the people who made this possible.
Simplemente hermsoso, estuve jugando la demo en el Kega Fusion y no podia creer lo que mis ojos veian. Ver esto corriendo en el 32X es totalmente maravilloso, gracias por este regado de navidad, ojala podamos jugar la version completa algun dia. Saludos y suerte con el proyecto :)
This is really impressive, and it was really fun too, looking forward to the full version of this demake, the more SRB2 the merrier!

Dude, if the Nintendo DS runs Sega 32x with emulation, and this project is practically 32x, NOW WE HAVE A PORT OF SONIC ROBO BLAST 2 2.0 FOR ALMOST ALL EXISTING CONSOLES?!!?!??!?! (and NDS why i like DS )
We have seen so little of the 32x power that this fine exercise of taste and technicality can pass as damn bloody magic. I just love what you did, so my son that plays Sonic games, hats off. Happy holidays certainly!
Just gave it a run on good old Kega Fusion as mentioned on the description, and, my oh my, this is impressive!! I really like the new music, and would love to have it on normal SRB2. Can't wait for the full version!!!!
Were a ROM not available, I'd assume this was a hoax. This is easily the most technically impressive 32X game I have ever seen. I was always under the impression that the pitiful draw rate to the framebuffer precluded anything from running full-screen (well nearly) at an acceptable framerate like this, but I sure was wrong! Incredible work! If I had one critique, it's that the FM sound effects are reproduced as low-quality samples (through 32X PWM?). I wish they'd just play back as FM, even if it means music channels dropping when they happen.
I can't believe this is real!! Is a real xmash gift! I hope this can be finished with all the v2.2 stages, and maybe this port can be ported to other hardware like old3ds or ps2!
And people were saying this wouldn't run on the Sega Saturn? Plus i respect the BALLS to put the actual current version of the game, you could have went the easy route and port an older version like 2.0 but no, actually insane.
Of course a game just like it would run on a Saturn. It just can't be SRB2 because it's designed for software rendering on a Pentium and a linear graphical buffer. The Saturn is a game console, so it should have tile memory and mostly hardware rendering. "Porting" SRB2 would probably mean making a new engine for it, because there's no way software rendering on an SH2 could keep up. Most likely it would also need a new map format because parse time is precious. And by that point it wouldn't be SRB2 anymore.
This is so cool. I think this might have made my Christmas better. This might be kind of like a game that you'd see in a dream but think "That might not be possible in real life."
I'm so happy I could cry and you used great 2compression on this, Sonic on a polished doom engine. I am truly blessed to see the day the 32x gets the respect it deserved
I’ve literally watched this video at least twice a day since it came out. I cannot explain how exciting this is! I absolutely have to get an everdrive to test this demo out. I’m really curious to test it on multiple different configurations of my hardware. I have had certain 32X games play different depending on what configuration I had assembled (different genesis board revisions plus the different 32X revisions). This is such a great time to be a retro game fan! And I’m so happy that the Sonic community has fans that are willing to make these kind of games happen!
This is incredibly impressive and cool! Really excited to see how much would be possible to make work on the 32X. It doesn't need to all fit in a single ROM either, 2-3 zones divided on individual ROMs is always a valid solution. Multi-cartridge games with perhaps a shared SRAM are a tool I have expected the homebrew community to make more use out of, for a while now.
Some dreams can become true, even the most unexpected. SSNTails, u and your pals are living legends. Thank you so much for the codding effort and pure love needed to create this. I expect the release of the source at some point because can be a major breaktrhough in the community. But for now i will, say thanks again, shut up and keep clapping. 👏👏👏👏
Wow. You guys put it on the 32X in quite a small timeframe, if I do say so myself. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a bunch of wizards. Edit: forgot to put this in the comment, but good job and merry christmas to you and the rest of the team, you all did something no-one else would even *attempt*. And I think that deserves a great deal of respect.
Just played through the demo and I'm super impressed. It froze right away the first time I played. But I rebooted and it was perfect. I also almost beat the Blue Sphere stage but was 2 blue spheres short. Can't wait to see where this goes!! Great week for Sega homebrew with the GTA3 Dreamcast port. Very grateful for the retro homebrew scene 🙏
I expect to see a "Crawla Bouncing" power play video at some point in the near future LOLOL jokes aside, this is AMAZINGLY technically impressive !! Props to you guys for getting this to run at a stable frame rate !!
I would never have expected this, let alone how well designed and impressive it turned out to be! ... A bummer there's no emulator on New 3DS that can run it well. Yeah, I'm crazy enough to want to play this on a New 3DS. It's would've been the closest thing to 2.2 on that console!
maybe making it into one of the virtual console cias could work. I've seen knuckles chaotix on that but I'm not sure how well it runs cause I haven't tried it
Extremely impressive. I remember playing the Dreamcast port back in the day. My only complaint is that some sounds are kinda crusty like the ring sound and the spindash sound. But it's a prototype so I can see that being fixed in a future version. Regardless, this is sick. Thank you for this and happy holidays!
Even though its a shame slopes had to be removed, this working like it does at *all* on the 32x is a goddamn miracle. Hard work payed off, amazing job. Hopefully slopes can one day work on this hardware without breaking everything haha

I have had certain 32X games play different depending on what configuration I had assembled (different genesis board revisions plus the different 32X revisions). This is such a great time to be a retro game fan! And I’m so happy that the Sonic community has fans that are willing to make these kind of games happen!
I have no words of how impressed am I now. This is the best thing ever made for 32X. I wish the best for you guys complete this project!
Wait, what? Will play that demo on my 32x right now. Amazing work here. And this you call 0.1 on your website? 😍 Incredible work there! Thanks a ton!
The more we live we are getting to see what the older consoles could REALLY do. I love this new era.
This is incredibly impressive and cool! Really excited to see how much would be possible to make work on the 32X. It doesn't need to all fit in a single ROM either, 2-3 zones divided on individual ROMs is always a valid solution. Multi-cartridge games with perhaps a shared SRAM are a tool I have expected the homebrew community to make more use out of, for a while now.
SEGA!! PLEASE HIRE HIM!! HE'S A LEGEND. HOW?!?? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE! IMPRESSIVE!
>oh funny, its a cool what if fan game thing
>WAIT ITS AN ACTUAL 32X GAME????
Dude, this is AMAZING!!!! What a blast 🔥🔥🔥 Im going to enjoy this magic in my 32x right now
fantastic music. It's amazing how every Sonic fan project looks better than everything made after CD.
We got srb2 working on the 32X before GTA 6 now that's insane
Some dreams can become true, even the most unexpected.
SSNTails, u and your pals are living legends. Thank you so much for the codding effort and pure love needed to create this.
I expect the release of the source at some point because can be a major breaktrhough in the community. But for now i will, say thanks again, shut up and keep clapping. 👏👏👏👏
Finally, Sonic Mars has come to fruition in another form!
An alternate timeline where sega knew what they were doing:
SOMEONE TIME TRAVEL TO 1995 AND GIVE THIS ROM TO SEGA (or at least when it becomes a reality)
Oh my god it happened. I’m trying this out asap and thank you for making something so cool. Merry Christmas! 🎄
I guess things have finally evolved from "but does it run Doom?" to "but does it run SRB2?"
I thought it was gonna bw an OST not a full game lmao.
You guys truly are monsters.
This is fantastic, though!
This is the kind of thing I didn't knew I needed.
Please continue, this is freaking awesome!!!
This makes me so happy, such awesome work!!
Wow. You guys put it on the 32X in quite a small timeframe, if I do say so myself. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a bunch of wizards.
Edit: forgot to put this in the comment, but good job and merry christmas to you and the rest of the team, you all did something no-one else would even *attempt*. And I think that deserves a great deal of respect.
Just played through the demo and I'm super impressed. It froze right away the first time I played. But I rebooted and it was perfect. I also almost beat the Blue Sphere stage but was 2 blue spheres short. Can't wait to see where this goes!! Great week for Sega homebrew with the GTA3 Dreamcast port. Very grateful for the retro homebrew scene 🙏
I genuinely cannot believe what I'm seeing, "impressive" doesn't even begin to describe it!
This is a level of technical wizardry that I am too human to comprehend.
I wonder how much could be done if you went even crunchier and used the SVP.
Not very familiar with the SVP, but my hot take is that the Hitachi SH2s in the 32X run circles around it.
I did watch this video yesterday but I guess I was so impressed about this milestone that I didn't notice who uploaded it lmao
I can't even fathom how this is possible, insanely impressive
It's all about time and talent. The 32X was no joke. Simply incredible.
The world wasn't ready for the 32X.
I expect to see a "Crawla Bouncing" power play video at some point in the near future LOLOL
jokes aside, this is AMAZINGLY technically impressive !! Props to you guys for getting this to run at a stable frame rate !!
This is beyond incredible, holy hell.
This is like successfully drawing the Mona Lisa with MS Paint
Great work, guys. Nice seeing the progress you were able to make thus far.
I cant wait for full Release
I would never have expected this, let alone how well designed and impressive it turned out to be!
... A bummer there's no emulator on New 3DS that can run it well. Yeah, I'm crazy enough to want to play this on a New 3DS. It's would've been the closest thing to 2.2 on that console!
have u tried retroarch for new 3ds?
I agree, that's the first thing I tried too but it's lagging to death lol
@@Randi_MyMan Retroarch on 3DS is super lousy, it's not really worth using other than for *maybe* playstation games. It even makes NES games lag.
looks like we're stuck with 2.1 on new3ds for a little bit
maybe making it into one of the virtual console cias could work. I've seen knuckles chaotix on that but I'm not sure how well it runs cause I haven't tried it
Let's bring redhotsonic for this one.
I feel like the borders on the top and bottom gave you the idea for this comment
SRB32X: But Does It Work On REAL HARDWARE?
This port is amazing man keep going!
This is CRAZY impressive! Im downloading this ASAP
SRB2 32X!?!?!? SRB2 XMAS 25 YEARS!?!?!? Yaaaaaa
Awesome😮! Very good work, I hope you continue forward, you have all the support of the community with something like this.❤
Extremely impressive. I remember playing the Dreamcast port back in the day. My only complaint is that some sounds are kinda crusty like the ring sound and the spindash sound. But it's a prototype so I can see that being fixed in a future version. Regardless, this is sick. Thank you for this and happy holidays!
Can't wait for Techno Hill Zone! Impressive stuff!
If SRB2 can be ported on the 32x, we could get SRB2Kart on there, maybe even Ring Racers!
To quote TFS Android 16:
_"LET'S NOT GET CRAZY"_
well merry christmas, this is legitimately fucking insane. i'm super impressed.
Even though its a shame slopes had to be removed, this working like it does at *all* on the 32x is a goddamn miracle. Hard work payed off, amazing job. Hopefully slopes can one day work on this hardware without breaking everything haha
This is too much srb2 a person can handle
Honestly this is genuinely so good dude
32X about to get it's redemption arc.
I hope you’ll finish making this project in the future, keep up the good work 👍🏻
This is literally the "Wolfenstain on a gameboy color" type of port of the Sonic Community and I love it
It finally went from an april fools build of srb1 to something absolutely outstanding!
Genuinely this makes me wish there was a Saturn port.
In the SlaveDriver engine it could be plausible.
I hope this gets ported to wherever possible
@@jotinhagece Same though! I genuinely look forward to some amazing ports. SRB2Wii was a fun one from what I remember.
@@SimitarchVOs both Wii and O3DS would do wonders
Absolute cinema
I actually had The Tower Of Power as a teenager back then. This would have been AMAZING!
