Hacking [RELEASE] Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2

Have you put the respective Data.rsdk files on the memory card of your Vita? It is not sufficient to download the .vpk and install.

-r

No. As I indicated, I'm not sure where to even find them, let alone how to install them.

Take a look at my post on the previous page for instructions about getting the data files if you have Android. The Sonic1 and Sonic2 folders should be in the data folder on your Vita.

If you have an iPhone the general concept is similar, but I don't know how you extract the files from an iPhone game.

No. As I indicated, I'm not sure where to even find them, let alone how to install them.

The only things you need is a PC with iTunes 12.6.4.3 and an AppleId account (make a free AppleId account by Apple, and download the iPhone version of game for free). Unzip resulting .ipa with 7z, and locate the proper Data.rsdk. Copy file to proper folder on Vita, and you’re good to go!

Anyone else having issues to play labyrinth zone act 3? As soon as I start the waterfall sliding the level is cut and I always lose a life.

 

[FM_JN]

Can someone check if labyrinth zone act 3 is really broken or if it's just my setup? To access the level selector start sonic 1 in "no save" mode and press up, down, left, right, up, down, left, right at the title screen. Thank you.

For me just pressing start after entering the level select cheat code crashes the game and trying to access labyrinth zone act 3 with time attack also crashes the game.

Edit:

I just used the Data.rdsk from the Sega Forever version instead of the old version and it no longer crashes. Also, the waterfall loops forever as it should.

 

[FM_JN]

@Graxer Thanks for the reply. I just downloaded the latest Data.rdsk and it can't seem to fix the issue. The waterfall is still broken. Can you let me know which of the .vpk you're using?

[Edit]: I just reinstalled the vpk from SonicMastr and it solved the issue. Thanks!!

Following my previous Sonic CD port, I am releasing Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for PS Vita as well!

I heard your feedback about the Sonic CD port and the annoying black bar at the bottom. With this release I pumped up the internal resolution from 416x240 to 480x272, achieving one more time a pixel perfect output without leaving out any unused pixel. You will find a screenshot in this post to give you an idea of the game visual.

Once again, this is just a port. All the hard work for the source code has been made by the amazing developer and reverse engineer Rubberduckcooly. Without him, this release would not have been possible. All I did was to adjust the source code, make it running on PS Vita and ensure that the level of quality is the one that every used should expect from a game.

Have fun ✌

Are you the same guy that translated Kingdom Hearts FM 1&2

Yeah saw the Vita version, cool.

Any updates to the slowdowns or optimization to the runtime so it doesn't need OC? @Xeeynamo?

 

[PacBunnyXV07]

Should I give up on these port because I keep getting crashes in Sonic 2?

Try deleting and installing everything again, some files may be corrupted.

Make sure you are using the rsdk files from the Sega Forever version of the game. Earlier versions cause random bugs like crashing in my experience.

Does this work on fw 3.73? I haven’t downgraded yet and hones I haven’t decided if I wanna downgrade yet or not.

Still getting crashes, now its after I beat Robotonik in Aquatic Ruins.

 

[sonictopfan]

Tested all three games on my PS Vita, firmware 3.73 run fine but crash randomly, also Sonic CD is overly sensitive back-touch be it in game or in the menu, I can only play it if I put it on the table and use like a keyboard, not sure if these issues are related to using a higher firmware or not.

Disable rear touch pad with reVita.

reVita, is that a homebrew? I’m fairly new to Vita hacking, this is literally the very first homebrew I install after VitaShell.

The Android versions work fine save for the slow down and glitches that this Vita port has no matter what due to the pixel perfect screen resolution.

Yes, it is a homebrew plugin.

Edit2: Remember to not have too many plugins actice at the same tine to avoid slowdown and crashes in general on the Vita.

@Xeeynamo Are you still working on these ports?
