Honestly I’d be fine with the basic black with white tex menus we had on the 3DS and PS Vita I just wanted a proper menu with save functionality.
Yep, I always thought about that. Basic menus like the ones used on the Vita port would be at least more than enough for playability.

I tested them earlier they seem to be exactly the same versions I already have, no updates.

Also I can’t seem to be able to exit from Sonic CD back to the HBL though other than that it seems to work fine, even my edited Sonic CD videos run fine as I restored the vocals to the Japanese audio before which was even used in the 3DS port

Hopefully Sonic 1&2 will eventually be updated to support saving.

Always thought the videos weren't supported, as there is no mention anywhere in the Github. So it needs OGVs inthe SonicCD folder, then.

Never understood how the 3DS got better ports of Sonic 1/2/CD while the ones on the Vita can’t even run more than 10 minutes without completely crashing.

I got told on Discord that there are mods for RSDKv4 (Sonic Forever & Sonic 2 Absolute) which happen to include 2D menus that actually work on Wii U. This is great since I don't have to fix the 3D ones :P

I didn't know there was an issue with saving, I'll have to check on that. Would y'all be mad if I made them .wuhbs?
Any updates on this? Been eager since you first brought it up.

sonic 2 absolute works but not sonic 1 forever
Is there an .rpx I can download for 2 Absolute on Wii U?

EDIT: Nevermind I figured out how to get it to work, it's just a mod you have to activate with the version of Sonic 2 we already have. Was a little tricky, but I figured it out, cheers!

Hey, just a heads up, while the latest build of Sonic 1 Forever (1.4.2) freezes after passing the title screen, the previous builds (1.4.1 as well as 1.4.0 and probably even more earlier builds) works great on the Wii U.

I'm checking 1.4.1 right now, the website confused me for a second and I thought 1.4.1 was the latest release so I skipped from 1.4.2 down to 1.4.0. I'll update in a moment if 1.4.1 works or not.

UPDATE: yes, 1.4.1 works too. Only the latest 1.4.2 freezes as far as I can tell.

Sorry to bring up an old comment but I tried earlier today to set up Sonic 1 Forever mod for the Wii U and I didn’t know how to do it, do I need the PC version for this?

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
