(Will need to adapt the process with the tools available for your platform of choice.) Also, I'll check later if I can extract the BIOS from the Steam release of Sonic 3 & Knuckles as well.Īnd I couldn't figure out how to do the process on Linux, since apparently Unix systems handle RAM way different than Windows. I used the PS2 version, but it should work more or less the same in the other releases.
I learned the base for the process here: īut it still required a lot of figuring things out and far more time than I'm proud to admit. On the topic of physical compilations of ROMs (sorry for the massive post in advance), the US release of Sonic Mega Collection Plus for PS2, GameCube and likely PC (only released as a physical edition) includes 17 ROMs, 11 for Mega Drive and 6 for Game Gear, and even a BIOS needed to run special modes in some Mega Drive games.
