SoniNeko
Version: 0.8
Last release: 12/2007
System: Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
Original game: [[]]
Credits: Nineko, Puto

soniNeko is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by Nineko. It is notable because it's the first hack ever in which all the songs are conversions from MIDI and MOD files (and not ports from other Sonic games or other SMPS sources), mainly created as a demonstration of xm2smps capabilities. Its main feature is obviously the soundtrack.

There is not much else to see here, just a few palette edits (SonED), new level names and level select (Esrael Sonic Editor), and the classic ASM stuff such as the spindash and the spike bug fix (Puto). The version number of 0.8 means that Nineko wants to do at least two more big edits to it before considering it as "final". There is a slight chance to get new layouts.
