  • I don't know about you, but isn't the cartoon character in this ad just asking for an electrocution? :-)

  • It is now confirmed that the next tileset to be made will be "Chemical Plant Zone". If anyone has any final objections, I will listen. I will have this tileset finished in a few days.

    By the way... SLEEP v0.8.6 will be released soon - with support for Sonic3k special stages. Keep-on checking.

  • Sonic HackingWiz Pro v1.30 is now available! New features include:

    1. The special stage editors for Sonic 3, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic & Knuckles Collection now let you change Sonic's starting position.

    2. The standalone Sonic 2 level select editor has been integrated into SHWP.

    3. A palette editor for Sonic 1 has been made.

  • Hello SLEEPers! Chances are that some of you are sick of the EHZ tileset that I have provided... so I need people to vote for a new tileset to be made!

    The level with the highest votes will be the first to be made, and if there is a tie between two or even three i will hold a seperate poll. Send you vote to penmans@tpg.com.au

  • I have created a page with detailed information on obtaining an SSRG T-shirt. It can be viewed by clicking here. Make sure you pre-order ASAP to ensure that you receive a T-shirt.

    - Andy

    (6-22-2001)
  • Hi everyone, Andy here. I will be posting sample images of the T-Shirts tomorrow (Saturday) here on SSRG. The price for the shirts will be around $12-$15. If we get a lot of orders, the price will be lower. Also, does anyone know of a cheap way of mailing T-shirts? If so, I can cut costs even more.

    The T-Shirt offer will be for a limited time, so if you want a sure garentee that you will get a t-shirt for yourself, e-mail Andy for early pre-order information.

    Again, I will post images tomorrow and provide additional information as well. (Long day... wicked tired... must get SLEEP... not the hacking app but the rest kind.)



    - Andy

  • The new SLEEP website is up (with a new release of SLEEP). I have done lots of work to make SLEEP take less memory. Remember, I need suggestions, comments and complaints if you want to help the project go further. Come on - I dare you! Download it here!

  • Hi all! I don't know if anyone noticed me missing, but I took some time off starting last week, but now I'm back. I've brought with me an update to the map archive. Now included are the Sonic 3 and Knuckles maps, and the info page for getting full-sized copies.

    I guess that today officially kicks off my position at the top of SSRG with Andy and Saxman. There are probably still alot of people who don't even know who I am, but I've been here, helping in the background and sometimes even up-front since the 'zone was started. Now that I'm in this position, I'm going to do my best to keep this a very productive and enjoyable place to be!

    - Stealth

  • I would like to remind our viewers that if you notice some news or information that should be mentioned on SSRG, then we want to hear about it. Feel free to e-mail Stealth, Saxman and myself (Andy) with the information.

  • Hey everyone tails here, I have a couple anoucements. I would first like to note that the save state archive has been updated. I have big plans for the archive. Currently there is only genesis save states. I plan to add game gear and Master System save states. Also on another note , i would like to remind people that sonic's 10th birthday was the 20th of june so happy birthday to sonic and every one at sega. Also SA2 was released the same day. I also would like to let people know about the 10th aniversery pack. In it is a cd ,book, and coin. I plan on getting and i hope you do too. Remember its limited edition, so it could be already sold out as you read this 0_o

  • I just noticed an interest bug in the video for Sonic Advance. (The offical one that's been going around.) Slow the video down when Sonic goes through the second loop. You will see that Sonic goes by a ring without collecting it.

  • I have been working on making SLEEP run faster but use less memory. Hopefully I will have a new release soon.

    On the next site update, the SLEEP website layout will be changed and the VB5 runtime files will be available for download seperate from the program. Dat's All

    (6-18-2001)
  • In a week or so, SSRG will finally be printing out our own T-shirts. We hope to have a sample image of the T-shirt's design in the coming days. I will post additional information on the sitewhen it come available. Keep an eye on SSRG for pre-order information when it comes available.

    Due to time, the T-shirt sale might end-up being a "one-
    time" event, so if you want a T-shirt, make sure you pre-order.

    (6-17-2001)
  • SLEEP v0.8.2 is available! Suggestions, comments and complaints are encouraged. Download it here. I been cleaning up my code. That means less bugs and... it will be easier to add more features.
