{{Hack|screen=SoniNeko.png|version=0.8|date=12/2007|system=Sega Mega Drive/Genesis|credits=[[Nineko]], [[Puto]]}} '''''soniNeko''''' is a hack of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)]]'' for the [[Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]] by [[Nineko]]. It is notable because it's the first hack ever in which all the songs are conversions from MIDI and MOD files (and not ports from other Sonic games or other [[SMPS]] sources), mainly created as a demonstration of [[xm2smps]] capabilities. Its main feature is obviously the soundtrack.

There is not much else to see here, just a few palette edits ([[SonED]]), new level names and level select ([[Esrael Sonic Editor]]), and the classic [[ASM]] stuff such as the spindash and the spike bug fix ([[Puto]]). The version number of 0.8 means that Nineko wants to do at least two more big edits to it before considering it as "final". There is a slight chance to get new layouts.

soniNeko is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by nineko. It is notable because of its extended playlist, which not only completely replaces all the songs from the original game, but also introduces several new songs, bringing the grand total to 51 (instead of 22 as in the original Sonic 1); most of those songs are conversions from MIDI and MOD files (as a demonstration of xm2smps/xm3smps capabilities), and a small amount of them are conversions from games that use the Cube/Iwadare sound engine. None of those songs have been converted from other games that use the SMPS sound system, something soniNeko is still unique for.
