Homebrew [Release][N3DS] Sonic 1 & 2 (2013) Decompilation port

[Mer]

Does your Data.rsdk file work on the PC version?
Make sure your file was placed in sd:/3ds/Sonic1/ (and not something like sd:/Sonic1/).
And if that doesn't work, grab an apk from Sonic Retro that isn't

I have tried to use it on my PC. It gets past the title screen but then it freezes.
I did place it on sd:/3ds/Sonic1/
I am now downloading the APK from Sonic Retro. I'll reply if it worked or not.

I forgot to say that it only worked on the rev2 of the exe. idk what that means but it only worked with it. The data.rsdk was the one that I used in the previous post.

I have also tried the sonic retro apk and the same thing happens. I don't think the issue is with the game but the CIA. I believe the CIA is compiled on the rev1 (?)

I have the same crash. Any ideas?
Also, I use old 3DS, is it even worth it to fix Sonic 1 and 2?

Update: I disabled Arm11 exception handlers in Luma3DS v10.2., and now both Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 freeze on black screens.

Thats what that does. Changing it will only result in black screens insrtead of a detailed crash log.

Installed the Android versions on my phone, used https://github.com/apk-editor/APK-Explorer-Editor to get the data files, installed the Cias; moved the needed files to the right folders in my New 2DS and then it worked.

I recommend using APK-Explorer-Editor to get the data files right from an Android phone as is easy and safeish, just don't poke around with it in other apps and you are golden.

I did think someone was making them compatible with Old 3ds models but that never became a thing and yes old 3DS does crash so you're not the only one!

Does this have mod support?

Nope, but you can run hacked Genesis roms with picodrive 3DS if you want.

Hard pass, I'd take the widescreen alone over anything you can hack into sonic 1

do i make a new folder or somehow get the folder

 

[salamieater]

when i try to run the game it crashes and ive put the data.rsdk and sonic 1 deomp file in the sonic 1 folder do i have to make the sonic 1 folder (thats what i did) or find the folder somewhere else
thank you.

So when ever I open it, It crashes and says: An exception has occurced.

processor: arm11 (core 0)

Exception type: data

fault satus: translation - Section

Current process: menu (0004003000008F02)

I have it in my 3ds folder on my sd with the sonic 1 and the sonic 2 folder there and there capitalized. I don't know why its erroring. (and yes, I have the data rdsk files in them)

You may have an O3DS or 2DS.

Same with you.

It's a small shame that Sonic 3 & Knuckles was toxic to Sega during the 3DS' life, cuz we have 2 great 3D ports of Sonic 1 and 2, yet the 3D collection will forever remain incomplete because making any kind of port of 3 & Knuckles was essentially forbidden at that time.

After months of restarting, getting stuck, giving up and retrying again, I'm finally ready to release a new update.

Update v1.3.0

• Now based on RSDKv4 version 1.3.0
• Mods can now be used. (See the About Mods section.)
• REV01 builds are now provided
  • Adds compatibility for certain data files.
  • Mainly untested. Only use if you are having issues with the normal builds.
• Audio processing is now done in a separate thread on a separate core
• Performance boost to special stages, due to the new audio thread
  • Sonic 1 special stages run at 30-60fps
  • Sonic 2 special stages run 15-30fps
• Added warning screens for some common user errors

Things that are NOT in this version but I know you'll ask if I don't mention it.

• It still does not run on an old 3DS
• These do not feature the fancy 3D menus.
• The Sonic 2 special stages still run at a low frame rate.
• It does not support the data files from Sonic Origins.
• Load times are still a bit slow. Most notably, the Sonic 1 credits scene will go out of sync.
• There are no multiplayer or networking features.
• There is no 3D effect of any kind.

so i installed the 1.3.0 version of sonic 1, but it says that the scripts are not found, even though i put them in the game's folder?

Does the game work without the scripts folder?
You also still need the Data.rsdk file even after setting up the scripts folder.

never mind, i got it to work with the scripts, but none of the mods I'm using work with either 1 or 2. i tried both the default and rev01 versions, but neither of them work. the mods im using are found here with no extras https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nnOjrAPad6L7Bvi_wKMcVJqD_ql8MLjH/view
