Hi there, thanks for compiling all the fixes in one neat patch. I wanted to ask what is the difference between this and the "Heroes Console Restoration" patch as both seems to have contributions from Brandondorf9999. Am I supposed to use both together or will there be conflicts?

There shouldn’t be conflicts, use both

There's something missing with this fix compilation: Big the Cat's in-game texture is incorrect. The PC version shipped with a texture container that messed up his colors, causing distinct stripes to go missing and making him look like a big purple blob rather than a cat. If you want I can send the fixed texture container for Big that replaces the broken texture file with the fixed one from the GameCube version.

I see the patch requires a "rom" location to patch Heroes, what file should I point it to? Is it the exe? Maybe I don't have the Sonic Collection version I do not know which version I have. I have the version available on myabandonware they're lovely.

It’s the exe yes

as for the collection, the availability table has a CRC32 of the Sonic Collection exe (but the easier way to tell is that it’s drm-less)

I'm sorry I'm not savvy to how I'd check an "availability table" or how to check if a game has drm. I've attached an image of the contents of my Sonic Heroes folder if that helps, thank you for your time. I would like to also ask if the "Launcher" is the rom or "Tsonic_win". I thought I knew modding and computers but now I'm seeing modding this game has brought me out of my depth haha.

Tsonic_win

Just back it up and if the game doesn’t boot after patching (and renaming the exe back to original name) it’s the wrong one

Thank you for the help! I think it worked because I launched the game after replacing the exe with the patched one and the game plays!
