[@Randi_MyMan]

already peak by the tokyo toy show sonic sprite recreations being used

[@BillyBlazeTheKeenest]

Well this is an exciting development!

[@doslogo]

It has been a few crazy weeks, but it has been exciting the entire time! Thanks!

[@customsongmaker]

I don't know it it's AN exciting development, but it's exciting development.

[@protocetid]

I like Sonic fan games on weird platforms, your project makes me feel a little better after the Sonic 1 SNES port I really wanted was canceled.

[@timebmber]

this is underrated i thought this was some decently popular channel like 10k subs or 20k subs but no it's a really passionate cool guy

[@lpcamargo]

Can't wait to see what you come up with! You must be aware of the Sonic Physics Guide at Sonic Retro, right? It's an invaluable resource for projects like this.

[@doslogo]

Absolutely true, all of the Sonic Retro guides are invaluable when working on this. Also I won't be afraid to ask for help if I run into problems. Thank you!

[@crimester]

you can do division and multiplication, it's just that have to do them yourself

[@logickeeper]

The music should be able to be done pretty easily via the YM2151 and PCM/PSG on the VERA

[@MotownBatman]

Wikid Awesome Brotha! Keep it Up!

[@Offramp-z7p]

What an ambitious project! But, um, well... have you ever read the story of Icarus?

[@doslogo]

Once I fly into the sun, I'll make sure it gets entertaining for the KZbin 👌🔥

CX16's memory ought to be enough, original Sonic 1 on the Megadrive was a 512kb cart and the sequel 1MB.

[@doslogo]

512 kB is definitely the best option, since that's what the CX16's base model has. It is accessed though a narrow window of 8 kB, giving me 64 banks to read and write to. Going to be a lot of bank-switching, but it will work 👍
