The three main ROM bases for generation III are Fire Red, Ruby, and Emerald in order of popularity - LG and Sapphire are rarely used for hacks. Generation III (R/S/E + FR/LG) is by far the most popular generation to hack due to the large tool pool and the ease of entry. That said there's great resources over at the Skeetendo forums and we generally know the most about this generation. Generation I (R/B/Y) and II (G/S/C) hacking is 'old skool' at this point in time, and a little more complex than generation III due to the lack of tools. Version 1.So you've decided you want to make a hack? You need to decide which generation and specifically which game version you want to use. This hack definitely deserves the “Director’s Cut” monicker based off of its own merits… But having the game’s actual creator being the hack’s author doesn’t hurt it, either. This hack offers it all and then some, and you can still play the original version of the game from the main menu of you want to compare it to the DX version or if you prefer to do so. Sonic controls far better, the game is more lenient with how many hits you can take, Flickies are not nearly as much of a pain to collect or keep, there’s a nice and simple level select that shows what you’ve completed in each level, and you can save your progress in the form of a fairly short password. I was quite impressed by how much better this version of the game was compared to the original, and it has only gotten better with its version 1.0 release over the holidays. I actually first played the beta when it was released as part of the hack showcase for the 2017 Sonic Hacking Contest.
