[@alfo2804]

Not really. Compared to today's emulation accuracy, it might seem quite shoddy, but this was still around the infancy of emulation, and the Dreamcast wasn't a particularly powerful machine compared to the other three consoles in its generation, so the fact that it can - to a certain degree of accuracy - emulate a console that only released nine years prior is quite impressive. The modern equivalent would be the Playstation 5 emulating a base model PS4.

[@bruno-vicious]

@@alfo2804 I'm sorry what? You really don't know your hardware if you think the Dreamcast wasn't powerful. The Dreamcast was based off the Sega Naomi arcade hardware which inspired hardware like Atomiswave nearly a decade later. The Dreamcast was the second hardware to bring home a 1:1 arcade experience next to the NeoGeo AES. Believe me the Dreamcast was more than capable in performing emulation. At best the software emulation was in it's infancy as you said but the Dreamcast hardware was more than capable of delivering which is why Naomi lived on even after the fall of the Dreamcast. I think you need to do a little research in the history and specifications of the Dreamcast. The reason it failed wasn't because of it's performance. It was because of piracy.

[@alfo2804]

@@bruno-vicious What the fuck are you even talking about? I know what the Dreamcast is, what it was based on and what it's capable of. I also know that it's very common knowledge that emulation requires a device to be exponentially more powerful than the console it's emulating, which the Dreamcast simply wasn't. Even the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube couldn't emulate the Mega Drive with great accuracy. Plus, the MD is a notoriously difficult system to emulate, especially with its sound hardware, so it's no wonder it came out the way it did. And what on Earth does the console's failure have to do with this? The reason you gave was a complete myth, anyway, so it's even less relevant to the topic.

I think the iFone version is better than Glu version.

[@WaddleBih]

Oh that's interesting, I also have the Glu J2ME version (first flip phone game I owned and also first Sonic game I owned) but it looked different, sprites were actually the same size and looked much more similar to the Mega Drive ones :o There was even a background in the title screen and everything! Save system, level select, How to Play, and leaderboards! (I think there was a password on Part 2 to transfer chaos emeralds if you got all of them but I never could) Probably version for smaller screen resolution thing. It's still a very very good port especially for the system it's on, spent hours upon hours on it despite starting with part 2 that starts at Labyrinth Zone and getting part 1 about 6 months later... I'd gladly share the version I own if I can get it out of my phone!

[@ArtofZenDigital]

The line scrolling and parallax are actually better in the MegaDrive Japanese release. It’s strange given that they’re the same exact system. There are no scrolling clouds in the US version. For some reason, I always thought that the first time the clouds scrolled independently was the Saturn Sonic Jam Sonic 1 port. The cloud scrolling effect makes the first 3 stages look much more alive since there’s always some form of motion occurring on the screen. Thanks for posting this, it’s a great video.

[@DeskoDev]

The Japanese version was released a bit later the other versions, so Sonic Team was able to give it a little more polish.

@Super Retro guy Sonic Mania and Sonic Generations' versions too, but they're in.

[@reillywalker195]

I think the reason is that, whereas the Green Hill Zone of _Sonic Mania_ and _Sonic Generations_ is an elaboration of the original, the one found in the 8-bit versions is quite different even though it was clearly inspired by the 16-bit game.

[@berdo2595]

My first experience of Sonic 1 was a J2ME port split in 2 parts. I don't think it was the iFone version, but it certainly wasn't the Glu one showed here (maybe they had 2? one for low-end device, another for high-end ones). My phone had a far better MIDI sound bank however so the music didn't sound nearly as bad as in this video -- somehow the uploader managed to find a J2ME runtime which actually uses a *worse* MIDI bank than the one Sonic Genesis uses (which uses the same midis in theory).

iOS and android versions are the versions of this game that sega should be porting to newer consoles. They are not emulations but faithfully re-created versions of the game with a lot of care put into them and the sound is essentially what the genesis is capable of doing but digitally ripped from real hardware so it's technically more accurate than playing the game on original analog output hardware.

[@alfo2804]

How can it be more accurate than original hardware? That's literally impossible. It can be up to 100% accurate, but not any more.

[@Microwave414]

@@alfo2804 Because you're not dealing with a digital source, the sound chip converting the sound to analog using the built-in DAC in the genesis then being piped out after going through filters and possible noise inside the console itself. Instead the sound itself was ripped from the source before it could be converted to an analog signal in the first place. You're right it is 100% accurate but the original hardware itself is not 100% accurate which is self evident also from model 1 and model 2 consoles using different chips also.

wow generations looks amazing. I need to go back to the old games. Special times.

[@sonicwithagun2347]

Mania absolutely

GBA feels like you’re trying to hold your dog while he slips on the Waxed floor

[@LilGoodOnMyEnd]

You should’ve included the Sonic Generations 3DS version because that one is also a direct recreation of the first Green Hill act.

[@gommodore6441]

Everyone be ignoring the Sonic Generations 3DS version of Classic Green Hill. That one was a complete copy and paste of the original with 3DS graphics.

[@sonicthehedgehogiguess9729]

You Missed the Fire TV Stick version

[@Youtuber-xi6qo]

(Im not putting the rest for example the DS and 3DS Version because they are basically the same. And not putting Sonic Mania because its not actually Sonic 1.) Sonic 1 Revolutionizing: 1. 5:02 2. 6:00 3. 6:59 4. 4:01 5. 1:05 6. 10:01

Intro Music on Sonic Generation is a reference of Ending Music of Sonic the Hedgehog 1

0:10:01 I have sonic 1 and 2, iOS and android; how to get debug mode is: • Go on to no save mode • Press 4 letters, S, E, G, A, and you will hear a ring But if you play as Tails, you could press S,E,G,A but, also like this: A, G, E, S. Okay, back to how to get debug mode: • Press and hold the title screen when sonic appears. You will see the level select • Now you have to go to Soundtest and then do this code: In Sonic 1: 1, 9, 9, 1, 0, 6, 2, 3, and then you will hear a ring again. In Sonic 2: 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4 and you will hear a ring. • Now select whatever level you like. Then touch the top left of the screen on the score, time, and ring icons. Just touch once. Now you're in debug mode. Just press once again to turn back to sonic. In debug mode there is a + and a - at the top middle screen and they were used to cycle through items and eminies used and unused like in the Simon Wai Prototype of Sonic 2 or the Nick Arcade (fixed). #tailsabuse #tails #sonic
