Q: Are there anymore decompilation projects in the works?Ī: Absolutely not.
We would also like to expand our horizons beyond sonic going forward, and we don't wish to spend forever just playing catchup with Sega's official releases. This project took about 1.5 years to do, and doing Sonic 3 would take equally as long, if not longer, as Sonic 3 is not only larger in scope, but Origins' hybrid codebase makes it harder to read. Q: Will there be a decompilation for Sonic Origins/Sonic 3?Ī: No. Q: Will you do a decompilation for Sonic CD (2011) and/or Sonic 1/2 (2013)?Ī: I already have! You can find Sonic CD here and Sonic 1/2 here. Don't expect any major future releases, however. FAQ Q: I found a bug/I have a feature request!Ī: Submit an issue in the issues tab and we might fix it in the main branch. However, there are a multitude of ports listed in the RSDKv5 repository. Since Mania is very easy to build, requiring no dependencies, virtually any platform that can run RSDKv5 can compile Mania easily. The only directly supported platforms are those listed above. Pass GAME_NAME to the makefile to change it/ Other platforms The makefile is a trimmed down version of the RSDKv5 makefile that only supports game compilation.īy default, unlike the RSDK makefile, this will look for the default game name of SonicMania and use it as source and compile as such. A v5U executable cannot run a v5 Mania, etc.
The version you choose must match up with the RSDKv5 version you run. Adversely, projects without All compile each object using their separate source files. Projects ending with All use the generated All.c file in-place of compiling each object seperately. Open SonicMania.sln and build the project you wish to build. However, there are some options available for some platforms if you wish to build separately. Most platforms will heavily encourage you to build it in conjunction with RSDKv5. 
Including: 1.00 (Console initial release), 1.03 (PC initial release) & 1.06 (Plus update)
Added all content from all released versions of the game. Added support for targeting RSDKv5U rather than standalone RSDKv5. Added a built-in mod loader and API calls to enable a much smoother modding experience. If you want to transfer your save from the official PC versions, you can just copy your savedata into the folder containing the decompilation! Additional Tweaks This project was made with love and care for the source material and was created for purely educational purposes, and would not exist without the work of Sega, Headcannon, and Evening Star. We do not condone using this project as a means for piracy in any form. DO NOT USE THIS DECOMPILATION PROJECT AS A MEANS TO PIRATE SONIC MANIA. You can get the official release of Sonic Mania (Plus) from:Įven if your platform isn't supported by the official releases, you must buy or officially download it for the assets. Without assets from the official releases, this decompilation will not run. It also poses a risk of seriously confusing for people looking to pick up the game, who now have to distinguish between versions that have no visible differences except $10 in price and a small “Plus” written on one of the box arts.ĭid you play Sonic Mania? Have you played its Plus upgrade? Is the base game still worth the $20, or should would-be buyers just spring for the whole package? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on this new package and whether or not the $10 savings are worth losing out on DLC.SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE OF SONIC MANIA (PLUS) Otherwise, though, the new physical edition is perplexing, especially with its timing, coming out well after the game has had its time in the sun. If you occupy that narrow cross-section on the Venn diagram of “People who insist on owning Sonic Mania physically” and “People who do not want to spring for the Sonic Mania Plus DLC,” well, then, this was made exactly for you. However, instead of adding purchase incentives like physical goodies and packed in DLC, Sonic Mania now goes the opposite route by strictly selling the vanilla edition, a direct downgrade from the first physical release.Ī pretty significant downgrade from Sonic Mania Plus, this physical package will not include the DLC upgrade’s additional characters, modes, and remixed levels. Over two years later, the game is making the rounds again with a new physical version. 
Sonic Mania was a beloved return to two-dimensional form for the Blue Blur upon its release in 2017.
