Please join the Steam group and/or sign up for email updates (feedburner.google.com) to be notified when BetterSADX is updated.
FEATURES:
Dreamcast Conversion
An incredible Dreamcast Conversion mod by PkR, TheArcadeStriker, and SonicFreak94. This project aims to return the PC version of Sonic Adventure DX to it's appearance on the original Sega Dreamcast. This includes the restoration of the palette lighting engine, as well as ports of the Dreamcast land tables, level models, and textures.
Use any custom resolution. With “Windowed Fullscreen” and “Stretch Fullscreen” (enabled by default), you can specify resolutions larger than your native which will downsample.
Texture filtering, Mipmapping, better sound and an extensive range of layout and bug fixes, created by the community.
BetterSADX includes and relies on the latest version of SADX Mod Manager, which provides a clean entry point and effective way to manage mods for the game! All of BetterSADX is fully modular, meaning, you can configure and tweak it here to your heart's content.
Resolution Options
Improved Graphics, Sound and Fixes
Mod Support
Full Controller Support
Super Sonic in Action Stages
To activate:
Includes the latest version of the Input Mod (By SonicFreak94). This provides improved support with use of the right stick and trigger buttons. It also includes Smooth Cam to give you a smoother first person camera.
Once you’ve completed the 7 main story modes, you can play as Super Sonic who is faster, invincible and can run along most water. He loses 1 ring per second and will lose the power once his ring count hits 0.
Make sure you've completed the Super Sonic story at least once.
Play as Sonic.
Collect 50 rings.
Jump and press the B button to transform into Super Sonic (or to transform back).
Please Note: Some stages and items/set-pieces (which force you to spindash) will auto-transform Sonic back to his normal form to stop the game from crashing. If you are unable to transform for this reason, Sonic will say:
"Huh?".
In the past, this feature was restricted to Super Sonic Adventure mode, however, it is now usable on any save file that has the Super Sonic story completed. It's possible this will change in the future, however.
Dreamcast DLC
The wonderful DLC mods by PkR! These mods allow you to experience the original Dreamcast DLC at any time by toggling them from the Mod Manager! Simply open the game and choose configure to bring up the mod manager.
Playable Game Gear titles
The Game Gear games from previous SADX releases are back.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic Drift
Sonic Chaos
Sonic Spinball
Sonic Labyrinth
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Sonic Triple Trouple
Sonic Drift 2
Tails' Skypatrol
Sonic Blast
Tails Adventure
You can unlock them by collecting emblems and beating missions in Mission mode. It is recommended you run the game in 640 x 480 if you plan on playing these.
Seamless Integration
You can enjoy all the features just from running the game via Steam and choosing Play or Configure, and in addition, this also supports Steam Achievements.
Discord Rich Presence
Show what you're doing in-game to your Discord friends and servers.
Configure
When you launch the game from Steam, you can still choose “Play” or “Configure” to change settings. Other than the resolution, we recommend you leave the settings as their defaults.
Configure Mods
Configure opens the SADX Mod Manager, where you can manage and tweak what we've provided to you in any way you'd like. We've included the mods in the optimal order by default as well, but for future reference, mods have a priority system. The lower on the list the mod is, the higher the priority for that mod is, meaning if multiple mods replace the same thing, only the lowest one on the list will show it's changes.
Set your resolution
By default, the installer will set your desktop resolution.
To set your own resolution:
Start the game from Steam and choose the Configure option.
Click the “Options” tab.
Next to “Use Custom Resolution” you can specify your own or click the “Native Resolution” button to use what your Desktop is currently set to.
Click “Save” and close the window or click “Save and Play”.
Converting your Steam saves
This is now done automatically during the install.
If a "savedata" folder already exists in your game folder from a prior install of BetterSADX, then no saves will be copied (to prevent overwriting and save loss)
Speedruns
When installing, there is a "Minimal / Speedruns" option.
Choosing this will perform only a basic install consisting of the SADX Mod Manager and the following mods.
Camera Code Error Fix
XInput Mod
Frame Limiter (disabled but turn it on if the game runs >60FPS)
