'''DalekSam''' is a [[Sonic scene|scener]] who has been around for quite a while now. Although he isn't impressive when it comes to hacking, he has some skill when it comes to spriting. He hangs out a lot at [[Sonic Retro IRC channel|#retro]], and follows the crowd when he feels like it. He has his friend [[STE (scener)|STE]] to help him with things, like music, and other things. He also prefers to be called Sam in some cases.

'''''DalekSam''''' is a scener who has been involved in several ROM hacks, more notably his own [[Mobius Adventures]] and [[Sonic Thrash]] as well as participating in hacks like [[Sonic ERaZor]]. Today he works as a hobbyist musician at home and is also participating in Mega Man Time Tangent.
 
 
==History==
 
===Sprite War with [[Hitaxas]]===
 
When he was making his hack, he decided to use [[Chimpo]]'s sprites that were going to be in his hack (with his consent), ''Dash''.
 
 
 
So when Sam decided to release the second release of [[Mobius Adventures]], there was some war to come. Hitaxas was going to use edited versions of the ''Dash'' sprites, in his hack, [[Sonic: Super Deformed]].
 
 
 
There was a war between the two over at [[RetroHack]], although it was settled soon after. Hitaxas finally approved Sam being allowed to use Chimpo's sprites, even though they were for public use.
 
 
 
===Dalek's Chibi Project===
 
So far, Sam has worked on [[Sonic]]'s, and [[Knuckles]]' sprites. [[Tails]] has been done, but has to be redone; it is taller than Tails and also doesn't look like Tails at all.
 
 
 
===Learning [[xm3smps]]===
 
Sam took awhile to learn how to use the tool, [[xm3smps]], and has made some good songs with it.
 
 
 
His first ever conversion was started off with a [[MIDI]], cut it down to 8 channels, which was the incorrect way. He labeled the channels 1 to 8 in the order of selecting the channels, and picked the boss' voices. It was a beeping mess, but kept going on and on. A few months later, he finally made his first decent song: Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Champion. It had a screech at the start, but it was fixed with the help of [[Master3k]]. This import was a great one in Sam's mind. Then, he moved on to another song: the Boss 2 song in SA2; Egg Golem. It was another successful import: but these 2 imports were helped by [[Oerg866]], by helping him with what channels are what, and with the help of Oerg's instruments. He later redone the Egg Golem song, which had better DAC choices and also imported the Sonic 3 Knuckles song from Sonic and Knuckles collection. Obviously, he loves his Dam Dariram.
 
 
 
==Personal Info==
 
===Love For Speed===
 
Sam loves motor-sport, and there's nothing more better than a good simulated race on [http://www.lfs.net/ Live For Speed] He is S2 Licensed, providing access to all veichles and tracks in the game. In Live For Speed, he is a team member of [http://www.stormracing.net/ Storm Racing] and proud.
 
 
 
===Fasination about Sonic===
 
As well as a fascination for motor-sport, he loves his speed: Sonic the Hedgehog was introduced to him by an elder brother. He owned a lot of Mega Drive games, including ''[[Ristar]]'' (which Sam did not know about) and ''[[Sonic 2]]''. Recently, Sam found a ton of Mega Drive/Genesis games, along with 2 Mega Drive Model IIs. Earlier than this though, when Sam was about 6 or 7, Sonic was introduced. ''Sonic Adventure 2'' was played by Sam, and he enjoyed it. He wanted to watch his brother play these games, as he was amazed and they were apparently cutting edge to him. Later, when he was around 9 years old, ''[[Sonic Mega Collection Plus]]'' was introduced to him, and he played the 16-bit games and loved them to bits. He got up to Flying Battery Zone on ''[[Sonic 3 & Knuckles]]''. When he gave up and went to the toilet, he discovered his younger brother had taken over (no surprise :P). 3 years later, by chance he found ''[[Sonic Megamix]]'', and was introduced to the [[Sonic scene|Sonic Hacking Community]].
 
 
 
===The "Big" Crash===
 
In September, Sam had a new computer installed, and had to wait a week for his old one to be plugged in a different room. That week later, Sam went on his computer and ran [[Kega Fusion]]. Now remember, an emulator crash is capable of wrecking a computer: that is Sam's case. He had wanted to backup ''Mobius Adventures'' to FileDen, but he was forbidden as he was assured that it was safe, which it wasn't. For now, ''Mobius Adventures'' and its sequel are on hold/cancelled until further notice.
 
 
 
===Forum Behaviour===
 
Originally, Sam was a complete and utter noob; but growing up was not a difficult task. Allough he wasn't at Pokécharms for a long time, he did learn the ethos of a forum community. He moved on to Live For Speed, and on those forums, he was nurtured to use proper grammar, etc. Upon doing this, Sam had joined the legendary Sonic Retro, armed with enough ammo to strike back on any internet rants (This is a sign of Sam's huge ego, ignore that statement)  He recently has crawled back to Pokécharms, due to it being owned by Alexander Winton (Sam's brother).
