Sonic Mania decompilation project completed and released

header (1).jpg

Rubberduckycooly, the person behind the many classic Sonic game decompilations, has released their latest project. After successfully decompiling Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic CD's mobile ports, they've completed reverse engineering Sonic Mania, in addition to having released a modding API for the game to go alongside it. This project works with all versions of Sonic Mania, including the original release, the 1.03 update, and the Plus update. In order to run the decompiler, you'll need a legit copy of the game, available across Windows, Switch, PS4, and XB1. According to the developer, this will be their final decompilation work, Sonic-related or otherwise, capping off their hard work on the Retro Engine series of Sonic titles.

I tried running this on nvidia shield tv since there was an android version. It works well enough, but hope the issues get patched. No dlc at the moment, and a bit of crashing, the FMV are not in color. I'll be happy to see if they can add online multiplayer mode that the game lacked.:ninja:

one thing is for old games being decompiled, but this game is still selling on current consoles, i think the one who gets hurt the most is the dev sadly.

You do still need the files from the original release to use it. Basically anything that isn't the code itself, they aren't going to include.

Given the game's already on PC natively I don't think it'd make piracy any different or particularly easier.
I guess for the small handful of people who refuse to game on anything but a Vita.
