If you have ported in sprites from other Sonic games or other games in general, you may have noticed the Sega screen is messed up.

This is good to do if you plan on porting sprites without that aren't converted to sonic 2's mappings and DPLCs.

Make a copy of the Sonic 2 sprites, mappings, and DPLCs for Sonic. Make in art/uncompressed SegaSonic.bin with a copy of the sonic 2 sprites, Also SegaSonicMap.bin and in mappings/spriteDPLC make SegaSonic.bin with the sonic 2 DPLCS

Now in s2.asm

Find this line of code for Sonic's art.


;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Uncompressed art
; Patterns for Sonic  ; ArtUnc_50000:
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	align $20
ArtUnc_Sonic:	BINCLUDE	"art/uncompressed/Sonic's art.bin"
;---------------------------------------------------------------------

Right after the art import for Sonic add in.


;---------------------------------------------------------------------
	align $20
ArtUnc_SegaSonic:	BINCLUDE	"art/uncompressed/SegaSonic.bin"
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now right below this section of code.


;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sprite Mappings
; Sonic			; MapUnc_6FBE0: SprTbl_Sonic:
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add this line of code

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mapunc_SegaSonic:	BINCLUDE	"mappings/sprite/SegaSonicMap.bin"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now replace this line of code.


;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sprite Dynamic Pattern Reloading
; Sonic DPLCs   		; MapRUnc_714E0:
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; WARNING: the build script needs editing if you rename this label
;          or if you move Sonic's running frame to somewhere else than frame $2D
;Sega Screen Sonic
MapRUnc_Sonic:	BINCLUDE	"mappings/spriteDPLC/Sonic.bin"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this line of code.


;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sprite Dynamic Pattern Reloading
; Sonic DPLCs   		; MapRUnc_714E0:
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; WARNING: the build script needs editing if you rename this label
;          or if you move Sonic's running frame to somewhere else than frame $2D
;Sega Screen Sonic
MapRUnc_Sonic:	BINCLUDE	"mappings/spriteDPLC/SegaSonic.bin"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Sonic's ingame sprites
MapRUnc_Sonic3:	BINCLUDE	"mappings/spriteDPLC/Sonic.bin"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But now, if you have other sprites, you will notice that the sonic sprites are messed up, to fix that, go to
 LoadSonicDymPLC_Part2
and change this.


LoadSonicDynPLC_Part2:
	cmp.b	(Sonic_LastLoadedDPLC).w,d0
	beq.s	return_1B89A
	move.b	d0,(Sonic_LastLoadedDPLC).w
	lea	(MapRUnc_Sonic).l,a2
	add.w	d0,d0
	adda.w	(a2,d0.w),a2
	move.w	(a2)+,d5
	subq.w	#1,d5
	bmi.s	return_1B89A
	move.w	#tiles_to_bytes(ArtTile_ArtUnc_Sonic),d4

To this


LoadSonicDynPLC_Part2:
	cmp.b	(Sonic_LastLoadedDPLC).w,d0
	beq.s	return_1B89A
	move.b	d0,(Sonic_LastLoadedDPLC).w
	lea	(MapRUnc_Sonic3).l,a2
	add.w	d0,d0
	adda.w	(a2,d0.w),a2
	move.w	(a2)+,d5
	subq.w	#1,d5
	bmi.s	return_1B89A
	move.w	#tiles_to_bytes(ArtTile_ArtUnc_Sonic),d4

Now change this


ObjB0_Init:
	bsr.w	LoadSubObject
	move.w	#$1E8,x_pixel(a0)
	move.w	#$F0,y_pixel(a0)
	move.w	#$B,objoff_2A(a0)
	move.w	#2,(SegaScr_VInt_Subrout).w
	bset	#0,render_flags(a0)
	bset	#0,status(a0)

	; Initialize streak horizontal offsets for Sonic going left.
	; 9 full lines (8 pixels) + 6 pixels, 2-byte interleaved entries for PNT A and PNT B
	lea	(Horiz_Scroll_Buf + 2 * 2 * (9 * 8 + 6)).w,a1
	lea	Streak_Horizontal_offsets(pc),a2
	moveq	#0,d0
	moveq	#$22,d6	; Number of streaks-1
-	move.b	(a2)+,d0
	add.w	d0,(a1)
	addq.w	#2 * 2 * 2,a1	; Advance to next streak 2 pixels down
	dbf	d6,-

	lea	off_3A294(pc),a1 ; pointers to mapping DPLC data
	lea	(ArtUnc_Sonic).l,a3
	lea	(Chunk_Table).l,a5
	moveq	#4-1,d5 ; there are 4 mapping frames to loop over


To this


ObjB0_Init:
	bsr.w	LoadSubObject
	move.w	#$1E8,x_pixel(a0)
	move.w	#$F0,y_pixel(a0)
	move.w	#$B,objoff_2A(a0)
	move.w	#2,(SegaScr_VInt_Subrout).w
	bset	#0,render_flags(a0)
	bset	#0,status(a0)

	; Initialize streak horizontal offsets for Sonic going left.
	; 9 full lines (8 pixels) + 6 pixels, 2-byte interleaved entries for PNT A and PNT B
	lea	(Horiz_Scroll_Buf + 2 * 2 * (9 * 8 + 6)).w,a1
	lea	Streak_Horizontal_offsets(pc),a2
	moveq	#0,d0
	moveq	#$22,d6	; Number of streaks-1
-	move.b	(a2)+,d0
	add.w	d0,(a1)
	addq.w	#2 * 2 * 2,a1	; Advance to next streak 2 pixels down
	dbf	d6,-

	lea	off_3A294(pc),a1 ; pointers to mapping DPLC data
	lea	(ArtUnc_SegaSonic).l,a3
	lea	(Chunk_Table).l,a5
	moveq	#4-1,d5 ; there are 4 mapping frames to loop over

if done right, it works, even with sonic 3 sprites.
