SSRG Staff

Welcome to the SSRG Staff Page. This little area is dedicated to the staff members and people that helped SSRG become what it is today. So, without further ado, here is the full list of SSRG staff:

This page is highly out of date. Don't expect it to be updated, ever.




Head Staff

Founder: Andy Wolan/ No Carrier (wacko@emulationzone.org)
Andy is the original site maintainer and also the owner of the Emulation Zone on which SSRG is hosted. In 1997 Andy started up the SSRG with info on Sonic and Knuckles/ Sonic 3 ROM combinations, theories and all sorts of other miscellaneous stuff. In late 1998 he offered to host Secrets of Sonic the Hedgehog and the SSRG we all know and love was born. Mid-1999 he redesigned the SSRG to what it is now and then he decided to leave the SSRG because he needed to put more effort into other aspects of his life (and the rest of Emulation Zone), putting Saxman in charge. Although not the maintainer anymore, he still comes back every so often to fix up some things and to do things for SSRG (and he still does the Sonic and Knuckles lock-on technology ROM hacking page).

Gerbil is the creator of the famous Sonic HackingWiz Pro and the more advance SHWP-II software programs for Windows.

Noted Past Staff Members

André Dirk (andre@emulationzone.org)
Although he recently left the SSRG, André Dirk is worth mentioning for his vast resources on Sonic secrets and for being the first site to be hosted at SSRG. His "Secrets of Sonic the Hedgehog" site created the big Sonic hacking/ secrets boom with information on an early Sonic 1 (which he nicked from other sites) and his own photos of a Sonic 2 Beta cart that his friend owned. This led to the discovery of the Sonic 2 Beta ROM that you probably know about and all sorts of other stuff. He also brought us every Sonic ROM in existence, including several that we wouldn't have otherwise known about. After opening in October 1998 the site was quickly carted off to SSRG by Andy Wolan. In early 2000 he left SSRG having been unable to update regularly for about six months beforehand. His work is still visible at SoStH but it will never be the same without him.

Johnny "Sonikku" Wallbank's Sonic Team Jr (sonikku@emulationzone.org)
Sonic Team Junior is one of the leading internet fan game teams. With its much-admired Sonic Robo Blast series it took up residence at SSRG after having problems with SegaSonic.Net. For more information on its staff visit this page.

LocalH (localh@emulationzone.org)

LocalH is the creator of the Sonic Ad's section. Andy Wolan posted a wanted ad on the main SSRG page about a Sonic Ad's page in which he requested someone to create it and maintain it. After some time, LocalH came to Andy wanting the position. Once LocalH got it, he built the page ground-up with all the Sonic advertisements he had and made them avalible to the public. Now LocalH helps Nayr with the Sonic 2 Beta Hacking Guide.

Wiseman (wiseman@emux.net)
Wiseman joined us mid-1999, when he was finding information on a lost stage of Sonic 2. As he is the only Spanish member, he is in charge of translating the SSRG and various parts of it into Spanish. He's also maintains the Bonus Codes section. And now he's making a new section, the Cheats Archive.

He also helps out with various other sections of the site from time to time when he's not particularly busy with his own page (off SSRG) and keeps us all at SSRG good company in every essential way. He also used to do stuff on Sonic HQ (hosted on EmulationZone) but has since left.
