Yes, it will come with a fully operational Level editor for PC.

The Taxman is also trying to use the development kit for the next release, and dump WinCE.

EDIT: I think its funny that im still counted as a Newbie even though i registed on Nov 2004. I'm really a lurker most of the time, lol.

Welcome to the lurking club! :)

somebody made a youtube vid of this for dreamcast. Note that its only blinking cause of the camera. The gameplay is super smooth and u can play as knunkles as well with all the moves.

Ehh.. maybe you'd like to edit out the link in your quoted message? :p

Hopefully the release without wince will be developed soon. I'll pass that link to him.

Now that's sexy ! O_O

When I first bumped into that YouTube video, before seeing this topic, it took me a while to realise that it wasn't a rom of Sonic 2! I only figured it out when I noticed how Sonic rotates down hills like in Sonic Advance, and that the jump sound effect was from Sonic CD.

I checked the plain files and it's definitly not using files from Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits.

The file "Midway_1.exe" is used by all WinCE apps (e.g. BoobBoy, Sintendo, QuakeDC, etc.).

However, using the WinCE dev kit is not exactly welcome nor legal, but I can confirm that only the needed DLL files are included, not the entire WinCE DLL archive.

If this isn't available at DCEmu UK, then QuakeDC should be removed from DCHomebrew.org also.

In my opinion this release should be tolerated, but Taxman still should port it to KallistiOS as soon as possible to avoid any such problems in the future.
