Tweaker

Template:Userbob Tweaker has done a lot to increase understanding of the music code in Sonic games. This includes games such as Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, the prototype Sonic Crackers and others, such as Knuckles' Chaotix, and any other Sega Genesis game that uses the SMPS music engine.

History

Tweaker first joined the Sonic Community in November of 2003 as a lurker and newbie, and became active in hacking as of June 2004. His claim to fame occured at around January of 2005 at Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta message board, where he made various discoveries regarding the SMPS music format. He has written a hacking guide in the field of music (See: SCHG:Music Hacking), and can be found hanging around Sonic Retro (where he is an administrator), the SGMC forums (where he resides as staff, and where his hack, Sonic 1 Megamix, is a hosted project), as well as other message boards.

Tweaker's amazing figure. You know you want it. You were born to want it.

These days, Tweaker continues his focus on Sonic Retro and all related aspects; however, he has recently taken a particular interest in X-CulT, the new incarnation of the popular Sonic CulT. He continues his work on Sonic 1 Megamix, surviving the high school experience, preparing to move to Florida, and overall being awesome.

In fact, you should give him a ring sometime! He's probably in the Sonic Retro IRC channel. Why aren't you in there? >:(
