(Original guide by Kram1024)

You probably wonder why Sonic 2 Beta has that level select that looks almost like the Sonic 1 level select, and how Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype has one that is the Sonic 1 level select. Well, that is what we are going to make the one in Sonic 1 behave like.

</syntaxhighlight> Notice anything here?

Button Fix, Part 1

A lot of stuff here we really do not need, as well as the fact that all buttons that are not the D-Pad seem to be used to play a sound or select a level. Let's fix that. <asm> LevelSelect: move.b #4,($FFFFF62A).w bsr.w DelayProgram bsr.w LevSelControls bsr.w RunPLC_RAM tst.l ($FFFFF680).w bne.s LevelSelect andi.b #$F0,($FFFFF605).w ; is A, B, C, or Start pressed? beq.s LevelSelect ; if not, branch move.w ($FFFFFF82).w,d0 cmpi.w #$14,d0 ; have you selected item $14 (sound test)? bne.s LevSel_Level_SS ; if not, go to Level/SS subroutine move.w ($FFFFFF84).w,d0 addi.w #$80,d0 tst.b ($FFFFFFE3).w ; is Japanese Credits cheat on? beq.s LevSel_NoCheat ; if not, branch cmpi.w #$9F,d0 ; is sound $9F being played? beq.s LevSel_Ending ; if yes, branch cmpi.w #$9E,d0 ; is sound $9E being played? beq.s LevSel_Credits ; if yes, branch

LevSel_NoCheat: cmpi.w #$94,d0 ; is sound $80-$94 being played? bcs.s LevSel_PlaySnd ; if yes, branch cmpi.w #$A0,d0 ; is sound $95-$A0 being played? bcs.s LevelSelect ; if yes, branch

LevSel_PlaySnd: bsr.w PlaySound_Special bra.s LevelSelect </syntaxhighlight>

We do not need the Japanese credits code, removed that junk. As for the levels, we want to start them with but not exclusively just , so an andi would be used there. Also, we want to exit back to the Sega screen, and why not some nice music? Only or should play something on the sound test.

The results should look like this:

<asm> LevelSelect: move.b #4,($FFFFF62A).w bsr.w DelayProgram bsr.w LevSelControls bsr.w RunPLC_RAM tst.l ($FFFFF680).w bne.s LevelSelect move.w ($FFFFFF82).w,d0 cmpi.w #$14,d0 ; have you selected item $14 (sound test)? bne.s LevSelLevCheckStart; if not, go to Level/SS subroutine cmpi.b #$80,($FFFFF605).w ; is Start pressed? beq.s LevSelStartPress ; if true, branch cmpi.b #$20,($FFFFF605).w ; is B pressed? beq.s LevSelBCPress ; if not, branch cmpi.b #$10,($FFFFF605).w ; is C pressed? beq.s LevSelBCPress ; if not, branch bra.s LevelSelect

===========================================================================

LevSelLevCheckStart: ; XREF: LevelSelect andi.b #$80,($FFFFF605).w ; is Start pressed? beq.s LevelSelect ; if not, branch bra.s LevSel_Level_SS

LevSelBCPress: ; XREF: LevelSelect move.w ($FFFFFF84).w,d0 addi.w #$80,d0 cmpi.w #$94,d0 ; is sound $80-$94 being played? bcs.s LevSel_PlaySnd ; if yes, branch cmpi.w #$A0,d0 ; is sound $95-$A0 being played? bcs.s LevelSelect ; if yes, branch

LevSel_PlaySnd: bsr.w PlaySound_Special bra.s LevelSelect

LevSelStartPress: ; XREF: LevelSelect move.b #$00,$FFFFF600 jmp MainGameLoop ;go to sega screen

</syntaxhighlight>

Level Select Music Fix

That fixes the level select so that it runs levels in a Sonic 2 manner, but it doesn't fix the music. Let's do that now.

Find: <asm> Title_ClrVram: move.l d0,(a6) dbf d1,Title_ClrVram ; fill VRAM with 0

bsr.w LevSelTextLoad </syntaxhighlight>

and add under dbf d1,Title_ClrVram ; fill VRAM with 0, these lines: <asm> move.b #$81,d0 jsr PlaySound </syntaxhighlight> replace #$81 with your choice of song.

the result should look like: <asm> Title_ClrVram: move.l d0,(a6) dbf d1,Title_ClrVram ; fill VRAM with 0 move.b #$81,d0 jsr PlaySound bsr.w LevSelTextLoad </syntaxhighlight> Green Hill Zone music at the level select, how lovely. On the other hand, if you plan on using my Sonic 2 Sound Driver port, try using music number $91 and PlayMusic as opposed to PlaySound.

Button Fix, Part 2

As you already know, is not yet fixed, time to fix that button:

First, we will have to edit the "LevSel_SndTest" routine. $C (left and right) will not work for detecting . We will need $4C (A/Left/Right) instead, so look in our function for: <asm> LevSel_SndTest: ; XREF: LevSelControls cmpi.w #$14,($FFFFFF82).w ; is item $14 selected? bne.s LevSel_NoMove ; if not, branch move.b ($FFFFF605).w,d1 andi.b #$C,d1 ; is left/right pressed? </syntaxhighlight>

and change it to read out: <asm> LevSel_SndTest: ; XREF: LevSelControls cmpi.w #$14,($FFFFFF82).w ; is item $14 selected? bne.s LevSel_NoMove ; if not, branch move.b ($FFFFF605).w,d1 andi.b #$4C,d1 ; is left/right/A pressed?

</syntaxhighlight> instead.

Now we can start working on adding the routine to handle and increase the 16's ($10) part of the sound test:

locate: <asm> beq.s LevSel_NoMove ; if not, branch move.w ($FFFFFF84).w,d0 </syntaxhighlight>

and add below: <asm> btst #6,d1 ; is A pressed? bne.s LevSel_A ; if not, branch </syntaxhighlight>

Now locate: <asm> bcc.s LevSel_Right moveq #$4F,d0 ; if sound test moves below 0, set to $4F </syntaxhighlight>

and add this routine under it to add support to the level select: <asm> LevSel_A: btst #6,d1 ; is A button pressed? beq.s LevSel_Right ; if not, branch add.w #16,d0 ; add $10 to sound test </syntaxhighlight>

Now the Sonic 1 level select will behave exactly like that of the one in Sonic 2 (Simon Wai prototype, except for night mode and split screen, those can be added manually if you get such a system working). Enjoy your alternative level select :)
