Fix the EHZ Deformation bug

From Sonic Retro

(Original guide by qiuu)

In Sonic 2 is in EHZ a small deformation bug, the lowest two layers don't scroll as they are not affected by the deformation code:

To fix this, go to SwScrl_EHZ:. Scroll down until you see SwScrl_RippleData:. Above it you should have this piece of code:

	move.w	#($B4)/12-1,d1 ; $B4 bytes
-	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	swap	d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	swap	d3
	dbf	d1,-

	rts

Copy and paste this code twice into it:

	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+

In the end it should look like this:

	move.w	#($B4)/12-1,d1 ; $B4 bytes
-	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	swap	d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	swap	d3
	dbf	d1,-
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+

	rts

And that's it! Now it should look fixed:

Sonic 2 Beta

This bug can also be fixed in the Sonic 2 Beta.

Just replace the code with this:

	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	swap	d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	add.l	d0,d3
	swap	d3
	dbf	d1,loc_61B2
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
	move.w	d4,(a1)+
	move.w	d3,(a1)+
