Contributed some Chiptunes/FM music to our end-of-the year recap cartoon for Sonic 1 & 2 which has already amassed 1.7M views over the weekend. We're all still figuring out how this could happen 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Did you know the image in my mastodon profile header was generated using actual code running in my #gears emulator ?

For this I wrote a romhack, a piece of code that will modify the code in the Sonic 1 Game Gear ROM so that it will display exactly what I need.

The code does three things:

  • change the number of lives Sonic has by default
  • change the current level selection on game start: this will modify the map shown with the small path.
  • change the name of the level that was selected to display (almost) any text I want

Read the code now or the following posts to understand how it works. 🧵 (1/4)
