This page is about various things you can edit in the sonic.exe file.
Note: There are multiple versions of SADXPC. Some addresses may not work for your version. Make sure the values given match your exe before editing it! Addresses that only work for the US version will be marked with US. Addresses that only work for the European version will be marked with EU. These are not likely to work with the Japanese version.
Note: the cracked version is the same as the European version.
Note: to find these in RAM, add $400000.

Object lists

A pointer list is at 574AF8, containing eight entries per level. To find the pointer you want, take $574AF8 + (((level * 8) + act) * 4). Remember to subtract $400000 from all pointers!

Now you will be at the list header, which is actually at the end of the list. The header is simple: the first 4 Bytes are the number of objects, and the next 4 bytes are a pointer to the start of the list.

The list consists of $14 bytes for each object, in the following format:

Offset Type Description
0 Byte First argument passed to ObjLoad
1 Byte Second argument passed to ObjLoad
2 2 Bytes Some setting related to the distance at which the object appears. The next value will only take effect if this is 1, otherwise the game will provide a value.
4 Float The distance from the player at which the object appears/disappears.
8 4 Bytes Unknown. Usually 0.
C 4 Bytes A pointer to the main subroutine for the object.
10 4 Bytes A pointer to the name of the object in ASCII text. Unused in the final, but used in the preview's SET Editor.

You should avoid editing these values unless you are absolutely sure of what you're doing, as incorrect arguments or pointers will likely crash the game. Instead, you should simply copy an entry from another level's list, and it will work as long as the proper textures are loaded.

Character Select

Characters

The characters are stored as an array of 2 byte values at 3EF6B4 (3EF6A4 in the EU version), in the order Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big, Gamma, (Super/Metal) Sonic.

Objects

The objects to load for each character at the character select screen are at 3F0788 (3F0778 in EU). All the data are pointers.

Offset Description
0 The address of the code for the object.
4 The address of the texture list to use for the object.
8 A pointer to some area in RAM. Function unknown.
C A pointer to four bytes worth of data. Function unknown.

Trial Mode levels

Starting at 3EF5EC/3EF5DC for Action Stages and 3EF624/3EF614 for Sub Games, it lists a pointer to a list of levels followed a by 4 byte count of the levels in the list. The lists themselves are simply a byte for the level and a byte for the act.

Level Start Arrays

Character Address # of entries
Sonic 50A5C8 72
Tails 50AB68 41
Knuckles 50AEA0 39
Big 50B1B0 35
Amy 50B470 41
Gamma 50B7A8 43

The end of the array is signaled by an entry with a level value of 0x2B.

Each entry is $14 bytes long, in the following format:

Offset Type Description
0 2 Bytes Level ID
2 2 Bytes Act ID
4 Float X Position
8 Float Y Position
C Float Z Position
10 4 Bytes Y Rotation
