A few updates for the new PC port of Sonic 3D Blast: - Toggling between the Saturn and Genesis modes also works on the title screen, main menu, and act map. A random sound effect is now played while toggling. - The Genesis version's main menu (and its music) is here, with a 'Help' section added for consistency with the Saturn version. - The Sound Test screen has been adjusted to include music and sounds from both versions of the game, with track names displayed (instead of numbers). - I've made some manual adjustments to the save slots, so they're (hopefully) less ugly now. - The Saturn version's main menu was completely silent, with no background music whatsoever, so I've recycled the music from Gene Gadget Act 1 here - I think it makes for pretty good menu music! - I've added a highly-requested feature: Music Overrides, which allow the player to set the music version (Saturn or Genesis) per-stage. This prevents the music from changing when toggling between the two modes.

A small preview of a new WIP experimental feature for the new PC port of Sonic 3D Blast - swapping between Saturn and Genesis mode during gameplay: - If the user supplies their own (legally-obtained) copy of the Genesis / MD version, this unlocks the ability to switch back and forth between the Saturn and Genesis/MD graphics and audio. - The player can instantly swap back and forth between the two modes by pressing the L+R triggers. This is probably the trickiest feature to implement, and I'll be testing this one extensively to iron out its quirks.
