This Forum is intended to detail l egal ways of obtaining the ROM If anyone has any suggestions/ ways to contribute tell me and I will add them here, but without further ado here's the legal ways I know of: This is because it comes from a disassembly which doesn't build a 1:1 S3K rom by default as it expands the ROM's file size plus even if it did it edits the files which means it edits the code SEGA made, then puts the edited data into 1 file along with unmodified code.Īngel Island Revisited is unique as it is technically legal since it draws from the Sonic 3 & Knuckles Steam ROM then puts it in the Oxygen Engine for the 16:9 support and features such as Prototype tracks.īut it also supports Modding, which isn't illegal since it only edits and provides the files that need to be edited and adds them to the game to achieve the desired effect.Įven S3C features can be restored into this legal copy through Angel Island Complete/Plus, however Angel Island Revisited requires one thing to even get to play it or it's mods/modpacks - A Sonic 3 & Knuckles ROM.

While projects like Sonic 3 Complete, try not only to preserve Sonic 3 but improve the original which is great, but there's just one problem in Sonic 3 Complete's Case it's a ROM Hack which means its Illegal to Play. The reason this is an issue is due to Game Preservation, in Sonic 3 & Knuckles case due to Michael Jacksons Music and Brad Buxer threatening lawsuits to SEGA it's puting a heavy weight on Sonic 3's preservation. If you've used an emulator and Downloaded a Rom of say Sonic 1, 2 or KiS2 you have pirated the game, piracy is Illegal. One thing that people often discuss is, piracy in gaming that is to say when games should be pirated and if there's a way to eliminate it altogether.
