Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator
From Sonic Retro
Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator (or simply S1TCG) is a text editing tool created by Selbi. With this tool you can edit and generate any kind of text for Sonic 1 (originally just for Title Cards, then changed). It was designed for the Hivebrain June 2005 disassembly (info) (1,016 kB), but with some digging it's also working for the SVN version. Because it was written in Visual Basic 2008 you will need .NET Framework v2.0 or better (v3.0 is recommended).

Tools and help windows
Version 2.5 of the utility contains (or at least partially) the following tools:
- Zone Title Cards text generator
- Credits Title Cards text generator (Beta)
- "SONIC TEAM PRESENTS" generator (optimized version of the Credits generator)
- Level Select Text generator (for references, releated to level select text)
- Level Select Text editor (for directly editing the misc\menutext.bin)
- Header generating tool (the thing your emulator shows)
The help windows are there as a replacement for a readme.txt.
Approved features for the next version
The next release (v3.0) WILL contain these updates:
- Optimized Credits tool (making creating credits much more handy)
- Perfect centering for the Sonic Team Presents generator (I and M will make the text a little bit off-center)
- New design for the program (which looks ugly and is actually pointless)
- "SONIC HAS PASSED" generator
Planned features
Some things which are planned, but cannot be made (yet):
- A feature so Title Cards are not off-center
