Brazilian user TiagoSC has released a WIP homebrew demo of Sonic The Hedgehog for the PlayStation (PSX). The demo itself is based on the Sonic Engine for SNES which TiagoSC himself developed previously. Tiago has also worked on other amazing homebrew demos, like a Megaman X port to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.

The demo has even been tested in original hardware, with consoles like the PSOne, SCPH1001 and SCPH550; and while the project's original schedule for a final release was set due to 2 month since August, 2022, Tiago is still working on the project, with the latest update being on January 1st, 2023. Those interested in the demo can download and try it for themselves from the link below.

Please don't answer to my posts if you don't understand them.

I have been in the PSX scene for years and PSX is all i know?

This is for the PlayStation 1, NOT the PSX. And yes, they are two different consoles. It's confusing because the PSX homebrew scene is currently active, too.

It's not confusing, you aren't confused.

Technically this is for PS-X, but nobody seems interested in the dash.

There is no such console as the "PlayStation 1".

There was a commercial release of Sonic that will run on your digital video recorder.

As many other Sonic fan projects, i predict this one will never be finished.

Are we really getting petty over using PSX as a synonym for the PS1? What even is this thread.. Sonic on the PSX (fite me) is interesting in its own right and we're stuck on naming conventions for a console. Bonkers.

Maybe. A lot of projects end as POCs or demos, so I guess it wouldn't be surprising, nor should it be.

This is TiagoSC we're talking about, he never finishes his demos

I like how the colors grow more desaturated the farther away the parallax is because it gives the image a stronger sense of depth. The color scheme looks lot better than the original. Additionally, everything looks so much brighter.
