What's the Newest Sonic Game That Works on 32bit Windows XP?

- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- In the beginning, there was 32bits. Windows XP originally released during a time of transition when PC's went from 32 to 64 bits, and running newer games in a 32 bit OS comes with some hurtles. With the power of a Dell Dimension 3000, equipped with a 32bit version of Windows XP (although you can get a hybrid 64bit Win XP) we will venture forth top find what the newest, most modern playable Sonic the Hedgehog game can run in a computer of old.

Fun fact: The PC port of Sonic Heroes is an earlier build than any of the console versions, and as a result has many glitches that make it the fastest for speedrunning.
Does it have any revisions or patches?
@@MAHIM2000 There's a widescreen patch so you can play it on modern hardware :P Yes I prefer the PC version, I like to have the wittle icon on my desktop :3
@@onthedreo hate it for the JANK pc glitches like the fucking loop in metropolis where you can just fall off it without doing anything
Which is why the PC port is the 2nd best version of Sonci Heroes reception-wise. With #1 of course being the GameCube version.
@@TheDatabaseNetwork Weird, I thought it went GCN > Xbox > PC > PS2.
The only reason I knew about the pc port of Sonic Heros was because I saw it in a claw machine back in the day as a kid that was naturally impossible to actually get. I proceeded to spend the car ride home crying my eyes out while my parents laughed at me.
That experience really shaped me into the adult that I am today.
Thats a real experience right there...
Such an experience...
You were so real for this.
They tried to warn you, no doubt. If so, only yourself to blame.
@@KopperNeoman Ah yes, blame the child for wanting to get a video game from a rigged scam machine because their parents wouldn’t get it elsewhere for them anyways.
The US had DX and Riders on PC. Had both growing up.
Heroes even had a downloadable demo on PC as well.
You lucky kid you
I remember all that myself bro...damn you just unlocked a memory.
The US had Heroes as well.
@@peter_knettertriplets
Sonic Adventure DX had two demos, actually. One of them had one level with either just Sonic or Sonic, Tails and Knuckles IIRC, and the other gives you one level with all six characters.
I appreciate the fact that you didn't just use a Windows XP virtual machine, but went to the lengths of risking tetanus by using a Dell Dimension 3000 from the scrapyard and radiation equivalent to Chernobyl from the CRT screen.
Radiation from the crt??
@@RenrcorZ nah, it's perfectly safe, mythes due to degaussing modes with giant magnets mixed in with the old "if you sit too near a screen you'll damage your sight". It's just a hyperbolic statement.
So, am I smarter for having a bunch of good Windows XP era hardware in great condition, or stupider? 😂
@@awesomeferret Neither, but you are cool tho.
Windows XP is one of those OS choices that will never truly be unloved by the community. There's Basilisk XPMod, which is a fork of the discontinued Basilisk browser (based on modern Firefox, and is capable of using NPAPI plugins such as Adobe Flash, among MANY others, since it still supports even 32bit NPAPI plugins, and it supports HTML5) which is actually updated almost every week, and it is built for even XP machines running Pentium 1 processors. Also, it works fine on Windows 11. Additionally, OpenMPT is another example of deliberate XP support. OpenMPT 1.28.10 was the last version of OpenMPT to support XP, even though it required a "legacy" build. Where it gets interesting is that in 1.30, OpenMPT had received enough demand that they made a RETRO build of 1.30 and now 1.31 (as well as the 1.32 dev builds) that is designed to run on Windows XP machines again, from Pentium 1 to the present, as well as on older versions of Wine. OpenMPT is an example of a program that deliberately targets Wine in addition to Windows, beyond just this. Also, OpenMPT's official player for its own MPTM format and its other supported formats like IT, S3M, XM, MO3, and MOD has RETRO builds designed for even older hardware and software. There is a build made to run on Windows 98 with KernelEx, there is an XP build of course, but there's also a build each for Windows 95 machines and MS-DOS machines both with a 386 (1985 x86 processor, though the 387 math helper co-processor slot needs to be populated). The Windows 95 build can be ran under NEC PC98 Windows installs, because KernelEx and PC98 are hard to mix, even if using PC98 Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 KernelEx. Meanwhile, the Windows 95 build needs none of that. Seeing as how the PC98 line went all the way up to a unit (PC9821Ra43) that can use up to a 1.5GHz processor (fastest Tualatin Celeron, is Pentium 3-derived, but is actually faster because no 1.5GHz Pentium 3 for the relevant socket exists, only 1.4GHz), playing modules with very high channel counts shouldn't be a problem.
The retro computing scene is very ambitious in keeping these older machines running.
the 3D transition between scenes was awesome, i've never seen anything like it, and i can only imagine how long it took to sculp all those models
It's actually not sculpted, it's a process called photogrammetry. It's basically using a camera to take a bazillion (give or take) photos of an area from all angles, and then the software tries to make a 3d model from it. You can tell by the warping and the feathered edges on everything.
I got Sonic Adventure running on our Family Windows XP back in 2007.
It ran flawlessly.
Your editing improves so much every year! Definitely one of my favorite things about your channel
That’s what I’m saying! His editing has improved SO MUCH
He won’t get better til next year tho 😢

0:25 this graphic is incredible. I haven’t checked on your channel since you were at 300K, but I got the notification and decided to watch this video. Awesome stuff!!!
This was actually really informative- somehow
Its kinda cool to witness how pc gaming worked back in 1854
Uhhh 1854 is kinda too early
It's more like 1991-2007

that's the joke

Thanks to LimeWire in around 2005 i bootlegged SADx and it ran pretty well on my basic 2004 Windows Xp Laptop. Only standing problem was that the music did not work, but that was due to the person who shared the file left the music files out for some reason! It didn't take me long to realize that the music was in OGG format since the sound effects were of that file type. So with a little research of what song file name went with each in-game event, and using an early version of WavePad Sound Editor since it was free (and still pretty much is, if you use an old version like 10.88 like i do with infinite full feature demo mode...and it's startup prompt every time....) I converted my various assembled Mp3 files and converted them to OGG format! I loved that soo much, but It did take at least 5 hours! For perfect Chaos 1 I used the Anime "Bleach" full vocal version of "Number One" since I was bootlegging the crap out of that show since it was new at that time, and for Perfect Chaos 2 I used the Ikaruga boss theme "Butsutekkai," and I definitely bootlegged the Dreamcast version to know that song back then too!
While I never had to bootleg the kid show "Lazy Town," Ive always had it's "You Are A Pirate" song as my theme since I've heard it eons ago, If you cant tell from my bootlegging problem which I seem to have....
there was also a different crack of it where windy valley was the only song therein
I’m pretty sure Sonic Generations got a physical PC release as well, though only in certain parts of Europe and/or Australia. It’s pretty going back to PC releases, I absolutely adored Adventure DX on my PC in the day.
I got one of them, although it was sadly a "steam-on-a-disc" kind of release
I do believe if you can get it to boot on Windows XP, it's the newest Sonic game that supports that system.
@@NottJoeyOfficial Technically Sonic 4: Episode II is later, and it's the final one that officially supports XP, 32-bit.
There is hope that either Sonic Lost World and/or Sonic Mania *could* run even though XP 32-bit was not supported because they use DirectX 9 and are 32-bit, but the only way to know at this point would be to try and run cracked versions of the games.
@@licentioushowler3400 I know that decompiled versions of Sonic Mania run on the original Wii even, so it's not unlikely a cracked version would run on Windows XP, even if it takes a bit of tweaking. I wonder if it worked on XP when Steam supported Windows XP.
I love how accurate the sonic riders experience is. I remember cutscenes taking forever, and then I discovered that f is the start button that skips cutscenes. Also, in launcher settings, I used to change the framerate to 15 so it runs properly lol.
peter out here giving us answers to questions we didnt ask for, and im here for it
Loving the transitions, feels like "augmented reality"
Oh man that Sold Out SADX box is so nostalgic. I didn't have a console until the Wii so I grew up with these PC Ports. The Heroes Sold Out PC Port, the Sonic R and Sonic 3D Blast Xplosiv Double Pack and the Sonic Mega Collection Plus PC port that has the 50Hz PAL versions for some reason.
Overall I'm very glad these games got ported to PC because if they didn't and were stuck on consoles I'd probably be only playing Racing games or no games at all nowadays.
Video quality is crazy, 3D scan of the room was impressive
Me 6 years ago: *playing Roblox on Windows XP 32 Bits
It's funny you made this video because like 2 weeks ago, my mom found my long-lost childhood copy of the *original* Sonic Adventure DX PC release while cleaning.
We misplaced it when moving houses and lo and behold, it was tucked away in one of our closet's upper corners on a shelf! It was the Activision cardboard box copy. It even still had both discs and the installation pamphlet inside!
I was in absolute disbelief when she found it, because it was one of the first video games I ever played when I was around 3 or 4!
It may be rare nowadays, too... I can't find any of the original cardboard PC copies on eBay besides like a japanese and italian one, but they went for >$70. Otherwise it's all the Gamecube version, or other brands that had published discs for PC.
So when I was like 8-11 (around 2011-2013) we had bought another copy, but of the Mastertronic version in a plastic disc case. So I guess I got my childhood back twice now!
Anyways, just wanted to tell my story with PC SADX. Love my mom so much for finding the original copy and giving me closure
this is the age old question, thank god peater is doing this for us
i love these transitions man
also nice upload schedule!!
i remember playing sonic adventure dx on my mom's windows xp laptop when i was small and one day i discovered the cursors, wallpapers etc. later i got yelled at by my mom for sonicfying her whole laptop.
easily one of my favorite youtubers now bro, you've been doing some banger videos. great stuff
Omg Peter good seeing u again! It’s been a while since I last saw u on my home suggestions
really cool 3d transitions and outro!
Ty!
This video definitely reminds me of the old school Peter Knetter videos of riffing old sonic games on obscure hardware.
Love the vid Pete! And happy belated b-day! 😁👍🎉
Haven’t watched a Peter Knetter video in a minute. Glad bro is still around, always been a certain charm to the channel that has not gone away
Your transitions are incredible!
Grew up with Sonic 3D Blast or whatever it's called on the PC. Played it without a video card in the late 90s and had so much fun.
peter ur edits improve every year ive been watching u since 2019 or 2020 i like u
i was desperate for Sonic content, i love you peter
These are the questions we need answered. Great video man 🙌
That version of SADX is the one i grew up on, and funny enough it was also on an old windows xp laptop that ran at about the same framerate. This was really nostalgic
This is such a great vid, fresh sub!
GASP! You’re still making videos?! YES!!!
You are my favorite UA-camr you are amazing at everything you do!
3 of my favorite youtubers uploaded a video today? Awesome
love the 3d room scan transition
This was actually informative! It's kinda cool to see what the lastest Sonic game that works on 32bit Windows XP!
0:25 Geez! This transition looks awesome!
Finally potter gets to play sonic games again. He is going back to his roots.
It's been a WHILE since I've watched your channel
My new favorite video from you from this year by far
this video didnt even come out 3 minutes ago, are you watching on like 10x speed or something
@@saltedmutton7269 the title and the first minute
i love your vids they make me so happy
"realise that was eleven years ago" Wow you really came for me with that one
"all the games we test will have to be physical" cracks bro
New outro is 🔥 🗣
"Sold Out Software" didn't port games, they just grabbed the rights to distribute older PC games, sometimes with a new launcher or installer and that was it. Half the time they incorporated fan made patches so the games could run on newer systems. They re-released Myth 2 on PC and it still featured the HDD wiping bug when trying to uninstall, that's how lazy they were.
the SOS background made of the Sonic logo killed me XDDD
This is a very specific video concept, but somehow it is exactly what I wanted to see today. I was thinking about Windows and how XP was the last 32-bit system. Then I wondered what Sonic games you'd be able to run on it, and somehow this video got recommended. Is UA-cam now reading my thoughts? Playing Sonic Riders, Heroes, Adventure DX, and Mega Collection Plus on PC was a big part of my childhood.
Nice new outro
As someone who grew up playing PC ports of Sonic games I felt everything in this video.
Very original video as always
Every patter video is diferent and creative
Gotta use the old youtube rating system for this one '5 Stars'
Once again, an absolute fire upload from Patter the Natter. He never fails to entertain me, even in the darkest of times. Thanks Peter ❤😊
The Sonic Riders part really gave me nostalgia when I tried to install it on Windows XP back in 2007. It ran exactly like that (something like 2 frames per week)
I still play the Heroes and Riders PC ports on my modern computers. I love 2000s software and tech so ofc that’s how I play those two.
Were the 3D transitions made by LiDAR? Or did you actually sculpt the whole room? Love your content as always Patter
Definitely one of these iPhone apps to scan objects
man old pc ports of console games are so interesting to look back on, i miss all the extra screensavers n wallpapers that would come with them.
that 3d render of the studio deserves a behind the scenes featurette
This is a weirdly specific question, and it's exactly what I'd expect from Peter. Therefor, glad he did it
Had SADX on Pentium 2 as a kid and the music didn't work because the PC didn't support the required media player version. Other sounds worked, just no music. It would also lag in certain parts of the game (usually the hardest like the snake).
I love your montage 🎉
nice outro
also, out of all those pc sonci games, i prefer collection (you've seen my comment on that one video)
sonic & knuckles collection has the best midi music that i've ever heard
That outro was cool
the chair sound added with the chair edit got me
One physical Sonic game for PC you did miss was Sonic Generations.
I actually own that one physically.
Physical as in doesn't need an internet connection to install the game and can be played entirely offline?
@@GUCFan No, like Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed it needs Steam.
But seeing as he mentioned Racing Transformed I don't get why it didn't mention Sonic Generations.
@@Priception Because those physical releases usually came out in Europe, before this video i didn't know Racing Transformed had a physical PC release.
And i didn't even know Generations had a physical PC release before you mentioned it.
@@GUCFan Sonic Generations Physical Disc was also Europe Only.
Fun fact. In the files on the disc there are graphics for an unused installer of the cancelled PC port of Sonic Unleashed.
I rarely comment on videos,
But watching almost all of your videos since you dropped the A-Ranks in all 3D Sonic Video, and seeing you grow as a content creator, a one of a kind editor, a highly creative individual, and a person as a whole in the last 5-6 years, makes me feel so happy and content being one of your long time viewers.
Never stop doing and being yourself, Mr. Pebber 💜💜
Thanks a ton for the continued support. Mad lad
Patter using a Chao mouse is wonderful
It's like we all used to say:
"Shmackityflap yagadooby flibbitygibbets."
In short 32 bit uses small number for computer thing and then 64 bit uses big number for computer thing, you can use 32 on 64 bcz 32 < 64
But not 64 on 32 bcz 32 < 64
Vouch
Anyone else notice the SOS background that pops up occasionally in this video?
Peter, are you okay? Is someone forcing you to play old Sonic games on outdated hardware? Do you need our help? 😂
4:43 Oh, wow. I remember running into that cutscene speed issue all the way back when the game released. Genuinely thought my copy was broken. Gameplay itself was normal speed though. Played through the whole thing like this, too
Peter has never failed to entertain me 😂. Luv u Peter ❤❤
Somehow UA-cam on TV always recommends me the best Videos.
Finally a sonic video
The best Pater videos of 2023 yet!
Love your content
The first time I ever played a Sonic game was on a PC when I was 4 years old - Sonic Heroes specifically. I hold so much nostalgia for that game, man.
peter has been feeding us so good lately
Haven’t watched the video yet (plan to with my dad) but I hope to God that Sonic Lost World works because that would be nice. It’s my favorite!
Can we appreciate the effort Peter puts into keeping the extraterrestrial creature out of his house?
I love this video already
My first computer was a Dimension 3000. I spent hours on that thing as a kid. I found one a few years ago and bought it for the nostalgia factor. It's now on display in my office
This guy is the only one person who is so bored they play 32 bit sonic pc games on windows xp
I have A gut feeling that these PC ports were also available in US it just they are rare and hard to come by, it not just available in Europe like i has seen PC Box with ESRB with means it the released in America, also there is a chance that a PC Port for Sonic 06 was planned because there were Ads back then advertising game for 360 PS3 and PC
this was the first thing i decided to listen to with my brand new studio headphones
I actually own a physical copy of Generations on PC , haven't tried it yet since I dont have a disc drive but its still cool to own
0:26 I like to think that his house looks like this in real life.
The master is back…
The Tails voice gets me every time
your editing made me want to learn english thanks peter!
You forgot the EU only PC DVD-Rom of Sonic Generations; in fact, that disc is solely the reason I created a Steam account back in the day.
Oh god i vividly remember the sonic heroes PC port and absolutely adoring the extras disc, i liked it so much i'm pretty sure it's scratched beyond relief so i can't even use it anymore
Peter Knetter, the best Channel that makes videos about Blue Speed Mouse.
“I feel like a five year old when I’m five”
Same bro I felt five when I was five too
“My Pc too Old” Truly inspiring words thank you Patter
There is actually a PC release of Sonic Mega Collection Plus too, which I used to play on a Win XP computer when I was like 8 or something.
I kid you not, a few weeks ago, I got SADX by sold out on disc and as I downloaded it, I equipped the tails background and chao mouse. Even though it’s hard to figure out what you’re pointing at, i still have it.
Played the exact same version many years ago when I was a kid and somehow loved it
"Whoops! It looks like you forgot to put the hedgehog in your computer!" - The Infomaniac, probably
I don't know what it is that makes me love seeing late 90s/early 2000s graphics on PC. Aside from their color pallette which I love I think it's something about seeing their low poly aesthetic that makes me like it. It's pleasing to the eye seeing Sonic Adventure on PC
I kinda like the new windows XP videos its fun to see what it was like BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN
