If you'd like to learn more about what, exactly, was broken with Sonic R's lighting engine and how it got fixed, InvisibleUp wrote about the process: invisibleup.neocities.org/art...
Tutorial:
Step 1: Install Sonic R. If "install.exe" won't work, try "setup.exe." If neither work, copy all files and folders from the CD and paste them in to a folder somewhere on your computer.
Step 2: Run the Sonic R Updater. When it asks you for a folder, tell it where you just put the Sonic R files.
Step 3: When the Sonic R Updater finishes, it will launch the Sonic R Mod Manager. In the Mod Manager, bring up the "Graphics" tab. This is mostly up to your preference, but I'd uncheck "Windowed" and "Force 4:3 Aspect Ratio." In the drop-down menu to the right, select "Native" to set the game to your monitor's resolution. Or, if you want, you can leave these options alone.
Step 4: I'd also recommend installing one of the sound mods listed above. You only need one, so don't install all three at the same time. Place the mod's folder in your Sonic R mods directory. If you still have the Mod Manager open, you may need to click "Refresh" to get the mod to show up. Check the box next to the mod to enable it, then click "Save."
Step 5: Launch Sonic R, but head in to the options first to set up your controls if you think you need to. If you're using a controller, I'd set "Action" (Jump) to the A button, "Accel" to the X button, "Camera" to the Y button, "L Brake" to the left bumper, and "R Brake" to the right bumper.
Step 6: You're done! Play the game!

If you stop playing Sonic R like a platformer and treat it more like a racer by using the accelerate button to run and bumpers to do sharp turns, it’s actually a really fun game. It just had hardly any levels

[@PiousMoltar]

Most racing games of that era didn't have many anyway

[@keiyakins]

It's not the best racer but yeah you can legit have fun with it as a weird racing game with a couple platformer elements instead of a platformer with a couple racing elements.

[@topeightz7590]

Truth

[@RiainRamblez]

Hey you're that meme guy from Instagram

[@IsaMariaUu]

Honestly the reason I feel Sonic R is so fun is because rather than a racing game, it is more of a 3d platformer. This is why I liked it better than other racing games from the era. It was a 3d platforming game disguised as a racer.

[@Sonic171K]

Unique Sonic games like Sonic R and Sonic The Fighters need to be remade but better.

[@blitz4506]

Right?

[@kayaplaaya9875]

[@miwestraveler3986]

Sonic 3d blast was pretty unique, and one of the original devs made a director's cut version.

[@replayed7082]

I am unbelievably happy to see a sonic R video in 2019 that talks about it in a sense that isn’t bashing the controls or hating it due to that being the common consensus. I love Sonic R with a passion. This is an absolutely solid video, I’m really glad my friend showed it to me. Great work

[@jomon324]

Hear, hear!

[@emanatingf]

@Replayed Word, all of that following others opinions sh- is lame

[@RatchetSprite1]

[@RoboyZHunter]

Or how bout a definitive Sonic Adventure 2 Battle that restores the dreamcast DLC and lighting.

[@Smilephile]

Heros is so underrated it's lumped into the bad Sonic game pile occasionally but it's very good, well at least head and shoulders above the worst Sonic game

[@mr.nicktheboy1030]

I recall playing Heroes on PC with a mod loader.

[@entermatestar9116]

@@Smilephile its kind of hard to be worse than secret rings

[@matti.8465]

I would pay anything to have a version of Heroes with the quickstep or anything that can keep me from constantly hugging the wall as a speed character.

[@Superkidra]

8:35 IS THIS WHAT THIS TRACK WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE ALL ALONG?? I can't say how grateful I am for this video dude, especially since I was so much less knowledgeable on Sonic R's porting problems (as opposed to SA1 and 2). It's a game I hold near and dear to my heart, not least because of its music (that stopped working on my childhood copy lol), and I can't wait to play it again. Thank you!

[@Nitroxity]

I was just as shocked by Radiant Emerald at that part too, man. Honestly with how smooth the rainbow pattern is you almost don't see how low-poly the track is, it almost looks modern.

[@Zennan]

CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE

[@Superkidra]

@@Zennan I can! Fancy meeting you here by the way lol

[@ZNemerald]

I KNOW, IT BEING TRANSPARENT AMAZES ME

[@wonder-games3579]

Pretty sure it wasn't colorful on the original Saturn release.

[@Squishito]

I used to play the hell out of this game on PC as a kid. I always remember it controlling horribly (I used a keyboard, pressed up to move, and never even knew there was a drift, so yikes) and I had a nightmare of a time unlocking everything, so I never really came back to it as an adult. After this video though, my interest peaked and I gave this a try and replayed the updated Sonic R with the racing game controls like you said. It was honestly a whole new experience and I have a brand new appreciation for this game now. It was so surprisingly fun, I just sat there and beat everything and got all the characters and emeralds and stuff. It's like it patched a memory up and now I can come back to this and have fun, which is pretty mind blowing for me. Just wanted to say thanks for sparking peoples interest in this and convincing people to give this clunky old thing a try, you've given me some fond memories to look back on. Nice video man. Also you have a smooth ass voice.

[@LitheFider]

I remember how my pc couldn't handle it performance wise so it ran a lil slow, and I didn't know this till later when I played it on a better PC I was like HOLY SHIT I CAN'T CONTROL IT IT'S TOO FAST! 😂 The original slower speed honestly helped me play it better.

[@Kevintendo]

I had no idea there was a drift button either lmaooo

[@Psilocervine]

Oh, I never heard the Saturn Sonic 3D Blast ring effect before, that's a really satisfying sound

[@cst1229]

And i realized the shield sound is in an SRB2 mod.

[@spearmintpony7105]

I wonder if GameHut knows a way to unlock Sonic R's framerate.

[@RG7621]

@Autumn the Squirrel Nice! He replied. He is such a cool guy. I bet getting Sonic R to run at 60fps would be a fun challenge for Jon.

[@ProjectFrenzy]

@@RG7621 Surely if it was tied to the code it would just mean most speed values being nerfed, adjusting how quickly the clock progresses per second, extending jump values so they don't last like a second and other stuff like that. Could very much be possible just would need a lot of values double checked to still be playable

[@FinalLuigi]

It becomes much easier when you have access to the game's source code, and then do testing to ensure that there are no (or few) timing related snags. M2 was able to port Virtua Racing to the Switch, and also increased the frame limit from 30 to 60 FPS. The main reason why PC ports often have framerate locks is because publishers see PC as a "least concern" platform, and want to cut porting costs to maximize profits, plus they already have free defenders on Steam forums where they continually defend awful ports being released at full price. Source code access is the reason why Mortal Kombat X got "unbusted" on PC by a different developer; if you can save a trainwreck then you can surely improve a game.

[@sethseth6ify]

I wonder if GameHut knows a way to add netplay to the newer port, like in the patch for the older PC version. I'd appreciate that, a lot

[@FinalLuigi]

@@sethseth6ify If there was netplay in one version of the game, then surely the modders have been able to transplant it. Even though it was rereleased, the base code hasn't changed much so it should be significantly easier than trying to hack in 60fps support.

[@GeekCritique]

Excellent video, thanks for doing this. I've always loved Sonic R! Now, I just wish there was a way to restore the Saturn version of Radiant Emerald. You're not kidding with that seizure warning!

[@PeterDCOHanlon]

Well, the transparency is restored in this mod. It just also has the disco lights still present. I personally enjoy the mix of the two together; disco transparency. That said, it would be a nice feature to be able to turn off the disco light for more authenticity.

[@UltimosVA]

Oh hey man! Small world seeing you here. :)

[@InvisibleUp]

Without the transparency on it's like staring into a strobe light because the lighting mod makes the track so much brighter. It's super easy to turn off the strobe effect, though, so I'll look into that.

[@PeterDCOHanlon]

@@InvisibleUp Ah, that is interesting! Is that caused due to the same reason that certain objects like on the title screen etc appear brighter? Also, that would be cool for people who just want transparency. I myself, as stated above, like them together. Having options is always a good thing~ 😎

[@InvisibleUp]

@@PeterDCOHanlon Nah. It's just because the background is black, so when the stage is semi-transparent it looks darker than it would otherwise. The issue with the shiny title screen stuff is because it's still using the vertex colors for the Direct3D mode, which are brighter to make up for the lighting engine being wrong. I still need to sit down and figure out how to fix it for the shiny objects, because they're rendered differently than everything else.

[@SteveGameSDG]

I may be in the minority, but I actually really enjoyed Sonic R.

[@darkgenie3167]

SteveGames same. When I first learned people hated it I was genuinely shocked

[@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa]

Yeah. I think a lot of people's gripes with it come from false expectations, but if you just embrace the game for what it is, it's actually really fun. Kinda short, but fun nonetheless.

[@leeiif]

I enjoyed it but could easily see the cracks.

[@CanaldoZenny]

They fixed Sonic R, but they won't fix the PC version of Sonic Heroes.

[@Motscoud]

It's mainly an issue with the DRM. If there is a way for the DRM to be completely disabled (Piracy patches do not work, as it still communicates with the incompatible DRM) fine. But for the time being, it's impossible to run it on anything newer than unpatched 7

[@iMernerner]

we can't run sonic heroes anymore?? shiat

[@Motscoud]

@@iMernerner On 7 there is a way of disabling the update that breaks Heroes' DRM. But 8 and newer, it is impossible, unless SEGA release a DRM free executable.

[@ViperAcidZX]

@@Motscoud Funny that you say that since there is a DRM-free version of Heroes in a re-release package (it came with Adventure DX, Riders, and Mega Collection+) and apparently it uses a crack to remove the DRM.

[@wayge]

@@Motscoud the "sonic pc collection" supposedly has no drm on heroes.

[@AdeonWriter]

Does it fix the tails model? Tails had white on his ears on Saturn, but never had it on the PC version due to a rendering bug.

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said this is simple to do! Already got it set up. :)

[@mikester8171]

A user by name of Showin recently released a Sonic R improvement mod that genuinely does a lot to fix many of the issues with the control scheme as well as rebalancing characters. Even has a final boss race added to the game against eggman, I’d recommend you check it out it’s pretty cool, would definitely be a good thing to add to a definitive version to play the game.

[@GalacticCuisine]

I specifically went and bought a PC copy of Sonic R and followed your steps just to play it for the first time. Seeing you said looking at it as a driving game rather than a platformer made me get used to the controls fairly easily. It's a fun little gem. Thanks for the video

Ahh thank you so much for this video! I've been wanting to replay this game from my past, but was actually wondering what differences there actually were between the different versions (and which is best). Sonic R is a very misunderstood game - it may not be the best, but it has undeniable charm and I love it ♥

[@vald3070]

Thank you for posting this! I stumbled upon it at the perfect time and got everything working because of this video, right down to the sound mods and adding a wired controller. I had to change a few of the graphics settings after the initial setup but now it’s perfect! I just found your video for sonic adventure, looks a little tougher but that’s gonna be next for me. Thanks again!

[@PatVX1]

You're telling me that my game had mussed up graphics all these years and I didn't even realise god damnit.

[@IsaMariaUu]

I first played the pc version back around 2002 and I didn't even know about the missing lighting effects. I also played it a couple years later on Gems Collection. Great video!

[@BintonGaming]

So, im a few years too late, but a crucial detail for those of you still playing this game that was left out of this video: the cursor moves so absurdly slow in the menus on the Saturn/PC version compared to the Sonic Gems port. in the Sonic R mod manager, under "codes" theres a code for speeding up the cursor movement to the speed from the Gems port. this is another essential change to really make this the definitive version imo, it makes a world of difference despite being a small change

[@ViperAcidZX]

If anyone knows their way around XInput Plus, you can also improve modern XInput controller support for the game, allowing for proper D-pad and analog triggers support.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO I HAVE BEEN DYING TO REVISIT THIS GEM OF A GAME I LOVE ALL THE MODS JUST TO MAKE IT SUITABLE FOR THIS DAY AND AGE

[@Chronis67]

Thanks man! I tried to play my copy of Sonic R a couple of years ago but it just didn't work. Apparently it was something about how the game checks the PC's specs using loading times being too quick. Tried some suggestions like changing a line in the code that checks the speed, or playing in a specific dial windowed DirectX sandbox thing, and neither option had great success. But this looks like the answer I was hoping for!

[@jomon324]

Sonic R is awesome and you can’t tell me otherwise. The only complaint I have is that Tails’s flight and max run SFX (same sound) need to be lowered or removed altogether.

I've always wondered if some creative modder could turn Sonic R into its own sort of Sonic game. I don't think we've tried a Sonic game where A moves you forward, but as you've stated about Sonic gameplay in the past, Modern Sonic games have become almost like racing games. In that vein, why not try a Sonic game with racing-style controls?

[@Clara_Page]

There's definitely some potential for a Sonic R Platformer, Ive often thought a new game in 3D blast's engine could be really cool

[@VinylFoxx23]

I was introduced to Sonic R as a kid. I found it at a used game store we used to have here while looking for games for the Saturn that I purchased (it was 2009 or smth.

I got Sonic R for the Saturn that Christmas. Honestly having only 5 tracks wasn't unusual for the time. Sega Rally had what, 4? And the 4th one was really hard to unlock, so more like 3. Oh and it only had 3 cars. But it's still a fantastic game. Sonic R sometimes gets a bad rap but I love it. The only game that does 3D Sonic properly in my opinion. I never had any issues with the controls, unlike some. Better than the complete lack of control you seem to have in the recent games. And although he ran fast, it wasn't the absurd speeds the new games have. Which is honestly how it should be.
