If SEGA had changed the music between versions, they would have done so by replacing the resource files in the source code and rebuilding the DLL. Doing so would result in the DLL's timestamp being different and possibly slight changes to the generated code. This looks more like someone used something like ValleyBell's SKC-MIDI tool to replace the music files in the DLL. This is supported by the fact that they missed the GM version of ICZ2 and if I extract the files from that DLL and import them into my DLL, I get an identical file.

Hacks

Please read Sonic Retro:Hack Policy. Generally, people shouldn't make pages about their own hacks. If the hack is considered important enough, someone else will do it. - Hivebrain (talk) 13:55, 31 August 2015 (CDT)

Sorry, I was mistaken about it being your hack. It still doesn't meet the hack policy though. - Hivebrain (talk) 13:44, 1 September 2015 (CDT)

Sonic & Knuckles Collection Music

Where did you hear that the UK Xplosiv version of S&K Collection has "Genesis-like" music? I purchased a copy and it has the same MIDI music as the US version. (I'm fairly certain the JP version does, too.) ---GerbilSoft (talk) 11:06, 16 January 2018 (CST)

GerbilSoft, EU and UK versions have Genesis-like OST, I mean that. I have a disk with the game. Soniccis96 (talk) 08:36, 17 January 2018 (CST)
Can you prove it? MainMemory (talk) 13:10, 17 January 2018 (CST)
Do you mean Sonic the Screensaver? That came with the big box UK version. - Hivebrain (talk) 17:29, 17 January 2018 (CST)
Are you crazy?! No way jose, guys! Soniccis96 (talk) 05:45, 18 January 2018 (CST)
Hivebrain, as a way, I HAVE a Japanese S3&K PC CD-ROM. I knew that the OST-from-Genesis is only there. Soniccis96 (talk) 04:39, 19 January 2018 (CST)
Prove it. Upload the game files or disc image somewhere. MainMemory (talk) 09:34, 19 January 2018 (CST)

I've taken a look at the DLL you posted on my talk page for some reason in comparison to the one that came with my copy of the game.
  • The following tracks are replaced with their MD counterparts: CNZ1, CNZ2, ICZ1, ICZ2 FM, LBZ1, LBZ2.
  • The following tracks are still using the PC versions: ICZ2 GM, Sonic 3's credits, Sonic 3's Knuckles theme.
  • All of the code in the DLL file is identical to my version.
  • The timestamps in the DLL files' COFF headers are identical: 10/29/1996 6:44:52 AM
