yeah, those cutting edge 90's graphics with 16bit color palettes are just too much for the poor 3DS

Apologies for the necro-bump, but I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for this project.
I'm amazed that Stealth went on to create a faithful game engine capable of reproducing Sonic the Hedgehog games, and this is being used for the upcoming Sonic Mania and already used for other re-releases of Sonic games. He already amazed me when he reverse-engineered and rebuilt Sonic the Hedgehog in assembly(?) for the GBA to prove a point way back, it's almost as though this paved the way for HCGE.
I hope that one day the engine can be fully ported over to the 3DS, especially with a .CIA build, as this could make for some amazing homebrew content. It's a shame that the build with sound does not appear to work.
Otherwise, I do have a GCW Zero with which to fully enjoy the engine, but few people own these things.

If I remember right, Sonic Mania isn't using this engine. It's using the Retro Engine, which was used for the cell phone remakes of Sonic CD, Sonic 1, and Sonic 2.

Ahh, so it does apparently, here I mistook the retro engine for HCGE.
Regardless, what these guys have accomplished is superb.

when I try to load HCGE I just get a red screen on the bottom screen, while the top screen has a horizontal line of glitch on the left of the screen.

Have you tried the no Sound version?
It seems to solve a lot of problems.

I tried both versions.

I tried both versions.

The code is almost 2.5 years old. It's not surprising at all it's in a broken state. You might try to contact the author on his site but I wouldn't expect much in terms of support for this abandonware.

Here you go:
Experimental Builds:
3DS - requires a 3DS/New3DS capable of running "The Homebrew Launcher"

If you experience any problems with any version of HCGE, please report them at the forum!
If I don't know about it, I can't fix it!

Hey Stealth, there's a stack dump error on load for 3ds on Luma version 8 running 11.4. Any idea what's causing this error?

Hey, How does one do what has been done for Fantastic Franklin?
