No, but it sounded a little...formal, so maybe it should be "not-quite-so-seriously" :P

EDIT: 500th post!!

how illegal would it be to disassemble the original SEGA rom and use their method? :P

That looks pretty amazing. If I wasn't bogged down by the whole E:SoR and CaDan thing, I would so totally go for this sort of project.

Then again... maybe it could be re-visited...
It would *have* to be in ASM, tho...

Well since that site Builder linked to apparently shows the exact method they used I don't think it'd be that bad :P ;)

I wouldn't be surprised if Sonic was possible in Axe, but it would probably require 15 MHz mode or a huge drop in framerate (rendering every 3 or 4 frames, maybe)

Well if you didn't have smooth-scrolling I think it would be very possible. It'd be less Sonic like but still Sonic nonetheless ;)

Well even with "smooth" scrolling it might be possible, but not super smooth. It would kinda be like when you play a game on a computer which got specs that are too low to run the game at decent speed.

An example would be how I did the faster speed in Axe Tunnel, but worse. At 5x speed, the thing I do is simply refresh the screen every 5 frame.

I think that with a smoothscolling axiom, Sonic would be possible in 6Mgz in Axe :)

That could work, too. I hope Quigibo re-enables Axioms in future versions. Btw it's MHz :P

Gotta remember though that there is a lot going on. That sense of speed has to be there. There are other things going on in Sonic as well. The ring loss when you hit a spike or run into an enemy. You could make it that if sonic gets hit he doesnt lose any rings or like one I suppose. But like I said if the speed isnt there, you're just making a platformer with a hedgehog.

Oh right, the ring loss animation must be hectic. I wonder if we could simply do like the Game Gear version?

Yeah that might be possible, we went the similar route I think.

It's pretty much a port of the Sega Master System version
