Enigma Credits in Sonic 1

From Sonic Retro

(Original guide by Fukuller)

Hi there!
I programmed something I call as Enigma Credits.
Why would you need that? Simple: with that, you can add more names to your credits. (more than 5 big names (e.g. Mister Sandwich))
Please note: this tutorial is for the Hivebrain's ASM68k disassembly.

Downloading the program

Download this file and extract it to your project's root folder (e.g. C:\Sonic1).

Configuring the game so it'll won't load the old script

Open up your "sonic1.asm".
Go to "Cred_ClrPallet:", then, find:

		move.b	#$8A,($FFFFD080).w ; load credits object

and replace it by:

		jsr	Credits_MapLoad	; We'll include this routine in the next step

Including the subroutine and the mappings

Let's include the routine we'll call to load the credits.
Add this before the "; end of 'ROM'":

		include  EniCredProg.asm	; here we include the "Credits_MapLoad" subroutine
		even
EniCred_0:	incbin	credeni\cred0.bin	; Credits #0 mappings
		even
EniCred_1:	incbin	credeni\cred1.bin	; Credits #1 mappings
		even
EniCred_2:	incbin	credeni\cred2.bin	; Credits #2 mappings
		even
EniCred_3:	incbin	credeni\cred3.bin	; Credits #3 mappings
		even
EniCred_4:	incbin	credeni\cred4.bin	; Credits #4 mappings
		even
EniCred_5:	incbin	credeni\cred5.bin	; Credits #5 mappings
		even
EniCred_6:	incbin	credeni\cred6.bin	; Credits #6 mappings
		even
EniCred_7:	incbin	credeni\cred7.bin	; Credits #7 mappings
		even
EniCred_8:	incbin	credeni\cred8.bin	; Credits #8 mappings
		even
EniCred_9:	incbin	credeni\cred9.bin	; Credits #9 mappings
		even

Save and build.
And that's all!

If you have PlaneED, then you probably want the project files.

Important notes

I recommend using Sonic 2's credits title card font. (OR, you can spend 10 minutes to write a name/word.)
All the mappings are empty.
