Homebrew Sonic Mania 3DS

[NGFan830]

I am not the only one that wants a Sonic Mania port on 3DS.
Here's how I think it would look:

Despite the fact that I rarely use my 3DS, I think that it would be a good game for the platform. There is no reason why it couldn't be done

You wouldn't have to crop the image like that. In actuality, in the sharp pixel mode without the blur or scanline filters applied, Sonic Mania's "true native resolution" is 424x240. The consoles and PC versions upscale it to HD or 4K and can use the higher resolutions for those filters. But the game's "true" resolution is actually far lower than that and in fact fits almost perfectly with the native resolution of the 3DS' top screen. 3DS is 400x240, which is only 24 pixels less than the game's native.

Here's some images of Sonic Mania at its native of 424x240, crop 24 pixels off the left and right and you'd have a good idea of what it would look like on the 3DS (you can even view them on your 3DS to see what it might look like)-

So OP are you developing this homebrew or what?

I mean he's 31 years old, so obviously he's gonna do it himself.

He might be a child but he still has intellect.

This won't be possible without Mania's source code. I don't even think that Retro Engine v3 is open source, and Mania runs on v5. I recall either Taxman or Stealth made a tech demo for Sonic 2 on the 3DS at one point, showing how it could run the Retro Engine v4, but that was never released.

It's possible, but I don't see anyone, official or homebrewer, working on it when it's already officially on the Nintendo Switch, another Nintendo portable system.

I mean undertale is being made for 3ds so is doki doki so maybe it'll happen you never know

Actually fun fact, renegade kid, the team behind mutant muds, actually approached sega to port Sonic mania to the 3ds. I can't remember if they were either bought out or they went under, but they ended up not being able to make the port. There's some fun trivia to get out of this thread. Now can we close it?

Sounds good to me.

Undertale's not had much progress IIRC and I doubt it will, haven't heard about DDLC but I don't care for it either way.

Heard it was the other way around, Renegade approached Sega?

Renegade Kid approached SEGA with the offer to port Sonic Mania to the 3DS.
As far as I know, the offer was rejected by the higher-ups at SEGA, not by the mania team themselves.

I think you're right actually. Editing post. Also I looked into it, they shut down for what I believe to be unknown reasons.

I mean, someone's trying to port phe game to android. I'd post a link but I can't due to being new, so just search "Sonic mania android" on youtube.

Android phones are way more powerful than the new 3ds fat chance that they could be able to port the android version.

No, they're not "trying". They're failing miserably.

You can't "port" Sonic Mania to Android by cobbling together all the assets and throwing it into Clickteam Fusion. You end up with a gigantic mess that runs at 15fps, and have barely anything to show after a year of "development". (Meanwhile, at this point in the development of the original Sonic Mania, the game was basically done.)

So, I'm just an 11 years old boi, and i made that photo with MS Paint. I'm not developing anything, I have NO idea about the resolution or somethin, and i zoomed in because I put the HUD on the bottom screen and it would look weird if it was on both screens.

hmm that explains it all
