No. It's an unfortunate known issue with fusion games (you can google it). They work with compressed data in the exe: antiviruses see this de-compression re-compression of data like a strange behaviour and flags them as Evo Gen type of virus as part of their heuristic process.
Latest patches of fusion improved this false positive situation a lot, but it's still a problem.
Please set up an exception in the antivirus or windows if they block or delete the game's executable file.
i've thinkin about this music mod that's make my best music mod ever created.
i've found that these soundtracks can simple loop if you cut the silence at the beggining and the part that's goes loop again for just to fade out the music, i've uses it to make the most silenced loop as possible (not many videogames music can be so nice loop by just removing the last seconds of that music that's were restarts to make the less adbrubted the music loops)
The problem with mp3 files and ogg files is the padding that is added at the start of each file, which makes it harder to find the perfect looping point as depending on the program it varies the silence delay at the start of a song.
That's the main reason behind the Loop Tuner patch I made for the game. The only real way to get a perfect loop is to go in-game and test the looping points in-engine, or have them cut like you mentioned.
Hello, there is no plan to do that. The special stages just require a bit of practice, and you'll clear them with much more than the required amount of rings.
Jump. Jump from left to right to land quicly on the opposite side
Learn to identify the patterns: there are patterns that repeat in sequence (left-right-left, line-nearbyline-nearby-line, left right left with bombs in the center, spirals and "DNA")
Tap the direction when you move, don't hold it too long
If you lightly tap, the character will stay in line and run on the sides.
There are more than 3x the required rings. if the stage wants you to get 150 rings, there are at least 500 scattered around.
You don't need to get the emeralds on the first playthrough. Once you clear the game you can replay Green Grove over and over until you get them,
Also, two emeralds are handed for free, that leaves you with only 5 emeralds per game.
sorry but the game it doesnt run when I open it, later the .exe disappears and I need to extract again the game, but Nothing happens I cant open it, please help me
hello sotaknuck i have a problem with the panic puppet soundtrack with the custom soundtrack durin the initial cutscene of the story, it's usually an bug with the custom soundtrack, it loads correctly in game but in cutscene it breaks
I have a really bug here. In Green Grove Zone, when you climb with Knuckles and Bluckles to the side, you get damaged with the skewers without even touching above them.
Thank you and thanks for your support about my soundtrack! I appreciate it!
Hi, did game have debug mode or some cheat table available?, i try use cheats but can not find ring adress or anything that makes the game easy, i search for my ring amount several times and the number is not there, if there are not debug mode can you tell me the ring adress?
Hello, I haven't played the game yet, but I saw that at one point there is a boss fight with silver mecha and metal sonic(s), but not all of them activate, is it possible to fight all of em in one fight?
hola sotaknuck, quiero instalar la actualización 1.26 (claro que ya tengo el sonic 3d instalado en 2d es decir, ya no tengo que instalarlo) pero no me deja instalar la actualización en ningún lado, la opción de instalar la actualización simplemente aparece. al final de la pagina descarga sonic 3d en 2d que tengo que hacer?
Hello, the game uses the direct X libraries for some of its effects and relies on some windows only extensions to work, so I cannot convert it to Mac easily.
I've heard people had limited success in using wine, but the game crashes when the input is set. I don't know if it is possible to emulate vcrun6 on mac, as it seems it is the critical component needed to have it start on Mac.
Dude looking at this game, This is something SEGA should have done years ago probably should have been the original game and just called Sonic Blast but we both know how that turned out. The levels were so unique back then and seeing them fleshed out in the 2d format is really cool! and the Chaos mural at the end Rusty Ruin act 2 goes amazingly well with 3&K mural seeing as 3d blast was the last Major game in the classic era, Robotnik looking as good as ever starting to switch to his modern Design. They creativity in this is FANTASTIC you should make more of this in the future!
I edited them from the Sonic Screensaver sprites and some comics (Amy and Shadow), so they aren't exactly anywhere to be found (unless someone ripped them)!
Well God... i've was trying to take a screenshot of the Puppet Panic Act 1 Phase 2 Boss where your edited version of the Drill Mobile from Sonic 3 appears to rip it and put it on an Photoshop project i am doing, Gay Bandicam doesn't even let me to do so, i've tried 1 million times to take an screenshot with the hotkey, and it does, but when i've want to see the image of the screenshot, i've can't, it just says that "It looks like the format of the file isn't compatible" and i've tried to change the file format to .PNG but it's just a freakin' black square in like 10 pixels. what hapenned? if Bandicam was able to take screenshots from the game perfecly without any problem. well continuing with my Box Art thing anyway...
Thank you for all the great work you have put into this game!
What is the game’s native pixel resolution? I assumed 320x240 but this seems not to be the case because I see vertical scaling artifacts when playing fullscreen at 640x480, with no filtering enabled
I already installed it and did all the steps to have the music from saturn but only music options appear to change the music from mega drive to saturn and no soundtrack options
i like the game but im am bouncing on eggman then i lose my rings and them the yellow springs din't bounce hight enuogh then the spike ball has aim bot so i can make it pass act 2
Robotnik throws the spike ball at a fixed arc towards you.
It's just a matter of positioning. Try to stay on the right side of the screen to have it bounce in a predictable way and be able to walk under it and avoid it easily.

Hi everyone! I made the remastered (again) on this game. https://ferchoroger.itch.io/remastered-soundtrack-sonic-3d-in-2d
oofy

Is this a malware? Just asking.

Missing a platform respawn in act 1
It doesn't even matter which act 1. It's intentional. All platforms do not respawn.
hello everybody, i released a new soundtrack mod for this game, enjoy it. https://kitty2135.itch.io/rayman-3-soundtrack-for-sonic-3d-in-2d
i've thinkin about this music mod that's make my best music mod ever created.

Wohooo! One new OST to go! Awesome!
my new personal record in diamond dust zone act 2
The special stages are so fast and unpredictable and it's very difficult. Can you make them slower so that it's a bit easier?
Hello, there is no plan to do that. The special stages just require a bit of practice, and you'll clear them with much more than the required amount of rings.
Also, two emeralds are handed for free, that leaves you with only 5 emeralds per game.
is too easy for me now
sorry but the game it doesnt run when I open it, later the .exe disappears and I need to extract again the game, but Nothing happens I cant open it, please help me
Hello, either your Windows or your Antivirus decided the game is a potentially dangerous program and automatically deletes it.
You have to set an exception for it to run.
hello sotaknuck i have a problem with the panic puppet soundtrack with the custom soundtrack durin the initial cutscene of the story, it's usually an bug with the custom soundtrack, it loads correctly in game but in cutscene it breaks
can you explain what happens? I tried to use a custom track for panic puppet zone and it plays normally in the starting cutscene on version 1.26.
probably with my configuration
this is what it sounds with saturn dlc/genesis/megadrive soundtrack:
and this is what it sounds with my custom soundtrack:it's working fine in panic puppet zone 1hello there! I got a Problem about Saturn DLC:
DLC does not load,
Hello, did you put the Saturn and the Custom folders inside the Soundtrack folder? That's all there is to it.
I have a really bug here. In Green Grove Zone, when you climb with Knuckles and Bluckles to the side, you get damaged with the skewers without even touching above them.
Thank you and thanks for your support about my soundtrack! I appreciate it!
If you complete the climbing on the wall, Knuckles or Bluckles will step up and their contact sensors collide with the spikes.
I think it is the correct behaviour.
can you make a Mac version of it please I dont like these new games they flex there edits on fortnite and clam to be good but later on I kill them
I like the old version
Hello, is it possible to play with a Nintendo Switch controller?
Hello, the game can use all the gamepads that the Microsoft Common Controller API detects.
I don't think the Nintendo Switch controllers are detected by default, but I cannot try as I don't have a Switch
Hi, did game have debug mode or some cheat table available?, i try use cheats but can not find ring adress or anything that makes the game easy, i search for my ring amount several times and the number is not there, if there are not debug mode can you tell me the ring adress?
Hello, I haven't played the game yet, but I saw that at one point there is a boss fight with silver mecha and metal sonic(s), but not all of them activate, is it possible to fight all of em in one fight?
Yes, as of version 1.23.
You have to clear the game and get a good ending at least once.
After that, you have to find a hidden button in Gene Gadget 1 (HINT: it's somewhere near the boss room) and press it before the battle.
If you did everything correctly, the button will flash red.
Have fun!
Hi, can you please add Amy in future update?
Hello there, Amy is an unlockable playable character in the game.
Get a good ending with any character and you'll be able to choose her in game.
Great!, thank you, the game is amazing!
Hola una pregunta este juego es para 32 bits o 64 bits?
Hello, it works on either.
hola sotaknuck, quiero instalar la actualización 1.26 (claro que ya tengo el sonic 3d instalado en 2d es decir, ya no tengo que instalarlo) pero no me deja instalar la actualización en ningún lado, la opción de instalar la actualización simplemente aparece. al final de la pagina descarga sonic 3d en 2d que tengo que hacer?
Hello there! Thanks for playing!
Just download the game again, and extract everything from the ZIP file in the folder you installed the game to already.
When windows will ask you if you want to overwrite stuff, just go with "yes"
Is there going to be a MacOs port of this game?
Hello, the game uses the direct X libraries for some of its effects and relies on some windows only extensions to work, so I cannot convert it to Mac easily.
I've heard people had limited success in using wine, but the game crashes when the input is set.
I don't know if it is possible to emulate vcrun6 on mac, as it seems it is the critical component needed to have it start on Mac.
oh ok

Me trying to find the original images you used for the character select sprites in save select:
I edited them from the Sonic Screensaver sprites and some comics (Amy and Shadow), so they aren't exactly anywhere to be found (unless someone ripped them)!
Why do you need them?
Well God... i've was trying to take a screenshot of the Puppet Panic Act 1 Phase 2 Boss where your edited version of the Drill Mobile from Sonic 3 appears to rip it and put it on an Photoshop project i am doing, Gay Bandicam doesn't even let me to do so, i've tried 1 million times to take an screenshot with the hotkey, and it does, but when i've want to see the image of the screenshot, i've can't, it just says that "It looks like the format of the file isn't compatible" and i've tried to change the file format to .PNG but it's just a freakin' black square in like 10 pixels. what hapenned? if Bandicam was able to take screenshots from the game perfecly without any problem. well continuing with my Box Art thing anyway...
oooh, a boxart! Me Like!
Well, for starters, can't you just use the regular snipping tool windows has? Pause the game and take the screenshot. That's what I do all the time.
You can also send me a PM on twitter, and I'll share some of the assets you may need.
man, just an idea, you could make a mania style version of the fan game.
more animations (some that resemble "mania"), smooth rotation, spring twirl (optional), mania-style background, etc.
good work, i liked it.
Hi Sotaknuck, I just wanted to ask if there are mods for this game and if there are which ones you know and recommend me
Hello, there are no game mods for the game, however there are music mods that you can download and apply. Some of them are on itch as well.

You putted the link of my mod first, like that small yogur said "Me siento como en la cima de la góndola"
Thank you for all the great work you have put into this game!
What is the game’s native pixel resolution? I assumed 320x240 but this seems not to be the case because I see vertical scaling artifacts when playing fullscreen at 640x480, with no filtering enabled
Hello, the game's resolution matches the one from the Mega Drive games, so it's 320x224.
The latest patch (v 1.26) introduced an option to keep the screen ratio by pressing F12.
That will resize the screen with the proper proportion, adding black bars on the sides or on top and bottom.
Great, thanks for the explanation
hello again, i managed to solve my problem sorry for the inconvenience
I already installed it and did all the steps to have the music from saturn but only music options appear to change the music from mega drive to saturn and no soundtrack options
How can I use the soundtrack options and the music options????
Hello, just download the Saturn DLC and add it to the game
first and most inportantly install the saturn DLC and then extract it to soundtracks
i like the game but im am bouncing on eggman then i lose my rings and them the yellow springs din't bounce hight enuogh then the spike ball has aim bot so i can make it pass act 2
