The text version of the installation tutorial is too big/complicated for a video description, so I've written it up over on my personal blog. Click here:

Notice: BetterSADX now contains an option to install the Dreamcast Conversion automatically, making the tutorial part of this video a bit obsolete.

Gave these mods a whirl a week ago, and I just can't go back after experiencing it. I always loved the original Dreamcast version, and I'm happy I can play a near-perfect, cleaner looking version of it on my PC.

I think this is the first time I've heard someone actually say "personal computer" out loud.

You weren't kidding when you said this was the definitive way to play Sonic Adventure! This mod not only restores the Dreamcast textures, lighting, and general look, but also adds beautiful HD textures and Widescreen! Something I could never get with Dolphin! Thank you so much, dude!

"Watch out! You're gonna crash! AHHH!"



I don't care what people say, these lines are great. Silly but still nostalgic.

Fantastic video. Extremely helpful and this mod is awesome. Pretty much how SADX should have always been.

I saw in the comments section remarks and teasing about your voice or whatever, those are sad people seeking for attention.

I found your voice very calming and professional for video tutorials as a matter of fact.
Your entire video not only saved me forever searching for getting the mods (I was specifically looking for super sonic) but you made everything clear about what each thing is intended for. And you actually gave me new info about the Dreamcast version. I never knew there was such a major difference in shaping and lighting and would never think about having that.

I found your video to be the only one comprehensive enough. thanks for everything

Two days ago I finished Adventure mode, and now I find this video. Playing with a ps4 controller was painful most of the time, keyboard didn't make it better, but I wanted to test this mods, and somehow they fixed the gameplay, it makes it feel so much better. and it made the graphics of the game more enjoyable. Because of these mods playing trough the adventure mode again is totally worth it, thanks for the video! Easy to follow and really well explained!

Thank you so much. The tutorial is so thorough and doesn’t make assumptions about what I know. I know functionally nothing when it comes to mods.
It’s truly appreciated

I like this mix of SADX models and SA1 lighting and textures. It looks good.

[recnepsrc]

Wow. This is inarguably the best-looking version of Sonic Adventure.

[Bluerush]

Really great video. Hearing the story of the how the PC and new ports were made was so interesting. I actually didn't know that. And now with this tutorial I can finally play a version closer to the dream cast edition! :)

13:00 man...can i just get something out there real quick? This is what i consider good editing. Of course, showing the before and after but also CUEING EACH VERSION TO THE SONG. you made it look so satisfying to watch and so much more enjoyable. Thank you so much!

Now the mod looks even better! In the latest version of betterSADX, they've included an update to the Dreamcast conversion mod that *restores the original water effects in Emerald Coast!*

[premydaremy]

Really looking forward to trying this, I didn't realise how significant the lighting effects were on the Dreamcast version. Plus I've always had minor stuttering on the Steam port, and it's not my PC, so hopefully this mod fixes that.

[Knux]

Wow, this is pretty neato. The DX character models actually look pretty great with the Dreamcast lighting engine.

[alexsilva]

Just revisited this vid after finally deciding to give SA1 a go and was pleasantly surprised to see BetterSADX and the Dreamcast conversion were made into one mod. Worked like a charm!

[danielbueno]

Yo, great video, man! So glad I bumped into this, was about to play the 2004 version I found in the HD of my old computer, but then I decided to search for a widescreen fix and stumbled upon your video. It will be a way better experience now. Thank you for making this!

[sonicfreak]

Very nicely put together. Really nicely summarizes the issue with the port of a port of a port of a port. Had I tried to do it, I'd end up with an hour long video displaying everything wrong with just the Steam version compared to the original PC port alone. lol
