This is some amazing stuff, when the time comes that I mod my Switch I'll absolutely be putting this on there.
Down the line, if Eukaryot decides to make Sonic 3 A.I.R. open source, I really hope that it gets developed into a Retroarch/Libretro core. That'd be the simplest way to get it running on a multitude of systems much like NXEngine for Cave Story.

finally people asking for vita! thank you!
pretty much perfect except for a handful of windows CE games
Yeah? Sega Rally 2 not being playable is a real bummer

Why it was even done in Windows CE? The original was an Arcade game so a direct port would have made more sence.

I hope the creator of this thread does it, because closed-source means somebody needs to be given the code and be allowed to make the port, and it'd be easier for TC to do it than for yet another person to be able to convince Eukaryot to share the source with them
Whether or not somebody is allowed to is probably based off whether people beg enough for it to be considered worth it lol
And people hate begging, it's not considered A Good Look, but what did they expect from making such a valuable engine closed-source, placing the ability to port it only in the hands of a chosen few
Published an update to fix issues with loading mods at startup.
Hello,
First of all, thank you so much for making my dream comes true!
I've been waiting for the moment to be able to play all the Classic Sonic Series as the remastered version on Nintendo Switch!
Since the original icon had a different design concept from the other three, I made an icon for the Sonic 3 AIR switch port that follows the others.
The quality is not as good as the others, but it may look suitable as a collection on hbmenu.
I hope it helps in your future updates!
Thank you!

I'm curious, is this even remotely possible on 3DS, even a New 3DS? or is AIR more demanding than the Whitehead ports of 1/2/CD?
It might be a similar situation where the main sidescrolling platforming gameplay isn't too demanding, but the special stages are since they're built from the ground up. The blue sphere minigame in particular is much higher resolution and runs at 60 FPS.
Sonic 3 Air is built for 16:9 displays whilst the 3DS top screen display is 5:3, which is slightly narrower horizontally. It probably wouldn't be much of an issue aside from needing to adjust the HUD display, and maybe the locked camera for certain screens.
A 3DS port would be doable but you'd probably need to refactor aspects like removing some graphical enhancements and limiting frame rate for the blue sphere minigame.
The project is not yet open source anyway, it's only in the hands of a few trusted individuals to port it to other systems like the Switch or Android.
Likewise, can this be ported to the WIi U? Surely that system could handle this no problem.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@
Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
-
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
