I figured I'd go ahead and hammer out a simple splice to establish a baseline before trying to launch it into the stratosphere - mixes parts from Aquatic Ruin, Hydrocity, and Azure Lake with minimal editing around the upper edge of the water. As-is, this would probably work nicely for a basic and otherwise auspicious first level in an mildly-above-novice-level ROM hack. No cycling palettes here; the only animation is parallax scrolling (layer division on the lower left, assembled 320x240 sample on the upper right).
If something like this will suffice, then consider it done - otherwise, further advise me as needed.

I see... well then this won't be any trouble at all. The two examples you've provided are perhaps the simplest ones (Sonic 1 and Sonic CD both recycle level graphics for their title screen backgrounds to varying degrees) - I'll try to limit things to a tropical/grassy setting for consistency's sake, but depending on where my mind goes, you might see something fairly alien or mechanical (I'm not above experimenting when inspiration hits).

2026-10-22 07:41:26 UTC

Oh... so you're just wanting a background for your title screen and not a full thing logo-and-all? That narrows things down beautifully, actually.

2026-10-22 07:36:28 UTC

I'll see what I can wring out - if absolutely nothing else, I can at the very least kitbash a mock title screen from a bunch of random rips and check in with you to see if the output is serviceable.

2026-10-22 07:30:22 UTC

- reply

Hm... title screens aren't exactly my wheelhouse (at the very least, it feels like it's been ages since the last time I've ever attempted such). Depending on how much ripping off Sonic we're talking here, I could potentially workshop something in between my other pet-projects, but I make no promises on if it actually happens or not (if it gets buried, it gets buried - wouldn't be the first, won't be the last). I'm in no real position to accept payment for any work I actually do manage to get off the ground right now, truthfully.

I'm kinda thinking of just staying up all night listening to NanoSweep music while chipping away at more models...

Piecing together room assets from model rips... this model had no armature when I initially got my hands on it, but it didn't take long to sort that out.

I've been wanting to get level maps working in something for a while now, but I'm mostly content with just doing the artwork... though, given that this set is just reskinned Labyrinth Zone, it could probably be hacked into a Sonic 1 ROM with relative ease.

So I started digging for more material to tinker with and I found this old thing... an experiment of sorts, in which I found that Ecco tiles worked surprisingly well on Labyrinth Zone. I made more level chunks than just this one, but I never finished the whole set.

Suddenly remembered trying this out way back on the nightly builds and wanted to see if anything about this broke in the release candidate (as if the character himself wasn't broken enough already).
Can safely confirm all is well - it's as beautifully fucked as ever!

A little early-morning, post-breakfast arcading... I was on the phone with my girlfriend while I was enjoying my pancakes and coffee, and I overheard this game's noises in the background (and she just couldn't pass up the opportunity to chat about it when I pointed it out - it ended up being the only thing we really talked about at-length).

Unlike most composite models, the components on this one have just enough of a functioning armature that I can lightly modify the pose in a few ways without needing to shift pieces around too drastically.
This outfit probably won't become a permanent addition until after the model is completely finalized (with a new and improved armature and all).

Before you ask, no, I'm not replacing my pinned render with this one - I'd like to get a bit more done with her model (something more permanent than a composite) before I seriously consider replacing the old one.

Went scouring through old sprites I had on file and found this old piece from about 6(?)-ish years ago (I seem to recall this being older than that)... as it happens, the Battle Network custom map wasn't my first shot at C-Island, though that's far more polished than this old thing.

Updated alert map... I strongly dislike using this map because it's always behind where the radar normally would be, time-wise, but you work with what you got.
The Tornado Warnings seem to have expired (they're no longer marked), but it's still capable of spinning up more. Even if we don't get anything particularly rotational over here, the straight-line winds are still going to be a concern.

There's always the possibility this could dissipate before it gets here, and the past few iterations of the alert map make it look like it's stalling just outside the western edge of the state... but I'm not betting on things calming down - the fact that it's already triggered multiple Tornado Warnings out there is enough of a reason to keep an eye on it (that, and look at all the Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. This thing's pretty active).

UPDATE: Located Fighting Samba in-game... it's another simulation-exclusive battle track. It plays when fighting simulated versions of enemies from the planet Highland (yes, that's actually its name... there are also planets named "Faraway," "Blackhawk," and "Bluewater" - Cyber Knight II definitely threw in the tower on trying to sound exotic with its planet names past a certain point).
Since the song can be heard as early as Act 1, it goes pretty high in the listing... so all that's left is Reunion and Parting, and I'm almost positive now that it's an ending track - I'm very tempted to preemptively stick it at the end of the list right away, but I want to confirm (and I'm basically right at the final boss, so it hopefully won't take long to do that).

2026-03-08 01:24:24 UTC

- reply

Act 5 of 5 - still haven't found Fighting Samba in-game yet, BUT... turns out, the SPC rip was missing THREE tracks, and I've just ripped it. Unlike the other two, this one ISN'T on the CD, so it doesn't have an official title... so I gave it one... it's not entirely accurate since you don't actually hear the music ON Earth, but you DO hear it in the training room on-board the Galvodirge when fighting simulations of Earth's monsters.
Regardless of naming accuracy, I'm absolutely certain I made the right call on its placement in the tracklist.

I only just now realized that I could've just watched a let's play... not that it matters now - Act 4 of 5, and still haven't found where the song first plays yet, but I'm definitely narrowing down my possibilities, and I may as well play the game to completion at this point since I'm already far in (it's been pretty nice remembering how Cyber Knight II works... possible candidate for a screenshot playthrough at some point, but definitely not until after I've done the first game (which I've started and abandoned runs of multiple times by now (oh boy, the first game is a bit of a thing))).

It's slowly dawning on me that Fighting Samba might be a VERY late-game battle track... I've been on Cyber Knight II like a bad it almost the entire day - Act 3 of 5, and I still haven't heard it yet. Am I seriously going to beat this game in almost a day-and-a-half? Playing a game to near-completion just to hear where a song first plays...
...goddamn, what the hell's wrong with me.

2026-03-06 23:38:48 UTC

- reply

So, turns out Cyber Knight II's SPC rip was missing TWO songs as opposed to just the one... and, like with Fighting Samba, this second missing track appears on the arrange CD in both arranged and original forms, complete with an official song title.
I've ripped and titled it accordingly - sounds like an ending theme, but I actually don't remember it in any real capacity... then again, last time I ever beat this game was back when I still played on ZSNES.

I have spent essentially my entire morning being very brutally reminded that Cyber Knight II has a nightmarishly rough difficulty curve that rears its head as early as Act 2.

Fighting Samba has been ripped, now I just need to figure out where the hell it plays in the game, because I KNOW that's not an unused track. It actually appears in the Cyber Knight II Ambition of the Terran Empire arranged music CD in both arranged and original forms...
...speaking of which, I've taken the liberty of renaming certain tracks to match their counterparts from the CD, assuming they had a counterpart to begin with (though I did opt to favor consistency with the fan translation patch regarding names of locations and such - hence "Flight of the Galvodirge" instead of "Flight of the Galbodage").

I can only speculate that the reason there are still entire games left unripped is because they can't be ripped to SPC format, hence SNSF (and ripping SNSFs is apparently a bit of a pain in the ass).
VGMPF has a list of unsupported games (https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=SPC#Unsupported_Games), but I'm not entirely sure if it's a complete listing, so there's probably more than what they've got on there.

Claymates has an SNSF rip.
Currently trying to rip another missing track, this time from Cyber Knight II - unfortunately, the translation patch doesn't account for the debug menu, so I'm kinda having to feel my way around it and figure out where the sound test is.

I have never ripped an SPC before...

The previous effect was from the Flash Museum series, specifically Volume 1 (named "Kagayaki") - this next one is from Volume 2 ("Senkou").
Kagayaki seems to operate on a theme of bursts and explosions while Senkou leans heavily on electricity an light rays. Not entirely sure what this could've been used for, but it would certainly make for quite a background image.
The Flash Museum libraries were released by a company called FLASHBACK Co., Ltd.; and the front covers for the CD cases on both volumes I could find have it proudly written along the bottom: "Photo CD - LICENSE FREE" - you just know these probably ended up being used in a LOT of shit just from that alone.

Perusing archived texture libraries while having a meal... this one looks like a hitspark right out of a fighting game (might have even been used that way, too - this particular library WAS from '95, after all).

Aside from doing just a smidge of math to recalculate the positioning on the back wall, the fixes were basically a straight carryover from 16:9 to 4:3... should be safe to keep copying the values from there.

Thank FUCK all of these are built off of the same template... mostly... anyway, 16:9's are done, now for the 4:3's, which I could also probably get away with just copying values over from the wide versions, but I MIGHT still need to fine-tune some things.

Turns out, I just needed to adjust a few decimal point values for the Delta parameters on the offending floor strips... though, now I'm noticing some VERY minor desync on some of the more faraway floor strips, and I can definitely confirm the wall desyncs a bit too.

Undoing the experiment to show why it started in the first place - if you can scroll the camera far enough to either side, the floor strips nearest to the front start to desync their scrolling (and I think the background wall also desyncs, but I haven't seen the full damage of that yet).
I've compensated for the scroll desync by limiting scroll distance to BoundLeft = -500 and BoundRight = 500, which is already fairly large on its own, but I'd like to push the stage bounds even farther out in the future, and the current hurdle to that is sorting out the scroll desync.

Decided I wanted to experiment with this since I haven't touched stage coding in a bit, and...
...
I think I'm developing a very tight understanding of why this floor parallax method required the floor to be broken into horizontal strips.

Well, I think I found out what makes this revision so "DX" - this place seems new (or, I don't recall it existing in previous versions, at the very least)... and it's apparently possible to beat the game without ever coming here?
Large optional areas like these tend to be pretty dangerous compared to the rest of the map, so I might want to hit up a save point and hold off on this one...

Went on a different route from the last run and encountered the most dangerous butterfly in the cosmos (it chewed through all my lives).
I'm reasonably certain at least a FLAC recording was made of the prototype dump's music, but now that we have this final-ish build, I think a redo is warranted - maybe a proper rip in USF format, assuming that wasn't already the case with the prototype (and maybe a full restoration/remastering using the original instrument sources later on down the line).

Before you can squash enormous bugs, you must first learn about them... so I am.

"It does not address any enormous bugs that already exist in this game."
Considering the whole point of the game is blasting enormous bugs to dust, I imagine patching them out would be somewhat antithetical.
