(Original guide by Mikel, based on a guide by HPZMan)

Notes:

  • Firstly, credit to HPZMan for the original guide he made for Sonic 1.
  • Secondly, you need to have the Sonic 2 Clone Driver in your hack. To get the Clone Driver, go to
    Sonic Retro
    this topic
    ; it requires the Sonic 1 Sound Driver to be ported to your Sonic 2 hack first.

First, go to "PlayMusic:"

You will see something like this: <asm> PlayMusic:

tst.b ($FFFFFFE0).w
bne.s +
move.b d0,($FFFFFFE0).w

move.b d0,($FFFFF00A).w rts + move.b d0,($FFFFF00A).w rts </asm> Change it to:

<asm> PlayMusic:

       cmpi.b #$7F, d0
       ble.s   ChkSounds00to7F
       jmp     NormalSoundRequest

ChkSounds00to7F:

       cmpi.b #$01, d0
       bge.s   LoadSlots00to7F
       jmp     NormalSoundRequest

LoadSlots00to7F:

       add.b   #$80, d0; Add $80 you get slot that starts in $81            
       move.b #$01, ($FFFFFFFC) .w; $FFFFFC moves $01 you you make sound to driver load secound index

NormalSoundRequest:

       move.b    d0, ($FFFFF00A) .w
       rts

</asm> Then, go to "PlaySound:".

You will see something like this:

<asm> PlaySound: move.b d0,($FFFFF00B).w rts </asm> Change it to:

<asm> PlaySound:

       cmpi.b #$7F, d0
       ble.s   ChkSounds00to7F_Special
       jmp     NormalSoundRequest_Special

ChkSounds00to7F_Special:

       cmpi.b #$01, d0
       bge.s   LoadSlots00to7F_Special
       jmp     NormalSoundRequest_Special

LoadSlots00to7F_Special:

       add.b   #$80, d0; Add $80 you get slot that starts in $81            
       move.b #$01, ($FFFFFFFC) .w; $FFFFFC moves $01 you you make sound to driver load secound index

NormalSoundRequest_Special:

       move.b    d0, ($FFFFF00B) .w
       rts

</asm> Then, go to "loc_7202C:"

You will see something like this:

<asm> loc_7202C: jsr sub_725CA(pc) movea.l (off_719A0).l,a4 subi.b #$81,d7 move.b (a4,d7.w),$29(a6) movea.l (Go_MusicIndex).l,a4 </asm> Change it to:

<asm> loc_7202C:

       	jsr    sub_725CA (PC)
       	movea.l    (off_719A0) .l, a4
       	subi.b    #$81, d7
       	move.b    (a4, d7.w), $29 (a6)
       	movea.l    (Go_MusicIndex) .l, a4
       	cmpi.b #$01, ($FFFFFFFC) .w
       	bne.s   NormalIndexLoad
       	movea.l    (Go_MusicIndex_01to1F) .l, a4

NormalIndexLoad:

       	clr.w   ($FFFFFFFC) .w

</asm> Then, search for "Go_MusicIndex:"

You will see something like this:

<asm> Go_MusicIndex: dc.l MusicIndex ; XREF: Sound_81to9F </asm> Add this below "Go_MusicIndex:":

<asm> Go_MusicIndex_01to1F: dc.l MusicIndex_01plus </asm> Then, go to "MusicIndex:"

You will see something like this:

<asm> MusicIndex: dc.l Music81, Music82 dc.l Music83, Music84 dc.l Music85, Music86 dc.l Music87, Music88 dc.l Music89, Music8A dc.l Music8B, Music8C dc.l Music8D, Music8E dc.l Music8F, Music90 dc.l Music91, Music92 dc.l Music93, Music94 dc.l Music95, Music96 dc.l Music97, Music98 dc.l Music99, Music9A dc.l Music9B, Music9C dc.l Music9D, Music9E dc.l Music9F </asm> Then, add this below "MusicIndex:"

<asm> MusicIndex_01plus:

        	dc.l Music01, Music02

</asm> The "dc.l Music01, Music02" is basically an example of what music slots you should use for Slots $01 to any number you want to stop at

Then, go to "Sound_ChkValue:"

You should see something like this:

<asm> Sound_ChkValue: ; XREF: sub_71B4C moveq #0,d7 move.b 9(a6),d7 beq.w Sound_E4 bpl.s locret_71F8C move.b #$80,9(a6) ; reset music flag cmpi.b #$E0,d7 bge.s Sound_E0plus Sound_ChkValue_OtherChecks: cmpi.b #$FF,d7 bge.s Sound_E0toF8 cmpi.b #$9F,d7 ble.w Sound_81To9F cmpi.b #$F0,d7 ble.w Sound_A0ToCF cmpi.b #$F9,d7 bge.w Sound_E0toE4 </asm> Change it to:

<asm> Sound_ChkValue:  ; XREF: sub_71B4C

       	moveq    #0, d7
       	move.b    9 (a6), d7
     		beq.w    Sound_E4
      		bpl.s    locret_71F8C
       	move.b    #$80,9 (a6); reset    music flag

cmpi.b #$E0,d7 bge.s Sound_E0plus

       	cmpi.b #$01, ($FFFFFFFC) .w
       	bne.s   Load81to9F
       	jmp     Sound_ChkValueFor00

Load81to9F:

       	cmpi.b    #$9F, d7
     		bls.w    Sound_81to9F; music    $81-$9F

Sound_ChkValue_OtherChecks: cmpi.b #$FF,d7 bge.s Sound_E0toF8 cmpi.b #$F0,d7 ble.w Sound_A0ToCF cmpi.b #$F9,d7 bge.w Sound_E0toE4 </asm> Now, go to "Sound_81to9F:", and change it to this:

<asm> Sound_ChkValueFor00:

       	cmpi.b #$FF, d7; $FF = Last slot will be musics in index $00 - $7F ($FF = $7F)
       	bls.w   Sound_81to9F
       	rts


Sound_81to9F: ; XREF: Sound_ChkValue cmpi.b #$98,d7 ; is "extra life" music played? bne.s loc_72024 ; if not, branch tst.b $27(a6) bne.w loc_721B6 lea $40(a6),a5 moveq #9,d0 </asm> Finally, we are going to Change the number of sound test slots in the options menu

Go to "word_917A:"

You will see something like this:

<asm> dc.w $7FFF ; 4 dc.w Sound_test_sound ; 5 </asm> Change the "$7" in "$7FFF" to anything you like, like "$FFFF", or "$CFFF"

That's all for now, this guide will cover Level Select Sound Test Slot expansion soon
