Sonic 1 Beta Features: * No SEGA Sound * No stage titles * No GAME OVER screen * Different sounding music * Only Green Hill, Sparkling, Starlight, and Final Fight work -- all other zones cause emulators to stop * Level Select has renamed zones * Final Zone has two stages (neither implemented) and boss has its own stage -- Final Fight * Special stage called Special Zone (and not implemented) * Sound test unreliable * Zones are differently colored * Green Hill Zone is at night (although the rolling ball isn't there) * Sonic is differently colored * The end boss actually works, although the end sequence doesn't. * File size difference: 486K in beta, 512K in release To run this you will need Genecyst X.XX -- KGEN tends to crash when uncomplete zones are accessed. Although Genecyst "crashes", you can just press ALT+R to reset and start the ROM again. KGEN crashes and throws you back to the MS-DOS prompt. Anyway, the music sounds a bit better on Genecyst VX.XX. Whatever you do, if you use KGEN98, YOU MUST USE THE -4 SWITCH TO GET 44100KHz AUDIO!!! KGEN98 SOUNDS TERRIBLE UNLESS YOU DO THIS!!!
