He also prefers to be called Sam in some cases. Also when [[Jayextee]] calls him "DalekSpam", he gets mad; really mad. | '''DalekSam''' is a [[Sonic scene|scener]] who has been around for quite a while now.

<forumuser name="DalekSam" /> DalekSam is a 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 #retro, and follows the crowd when he feels like it. He has his friend STE to help him with things, like music, and other things. He also prefers to be called Sam in some cases. Also when Jayextee calls him "DalekSpam", he gets mad; really mad.
Contents
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's 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.
