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

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.

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.

The US had DX and Riders on PC. Had both growing up.
Heroes even had a downloadable demo on PC as well.

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.

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!!!

Your editing improves so much every year! Definitely one of my favorite things about your channel

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

This was actually really informative- somehow
Its kinda cool to witness how pc gaming worked back in 1854

I got Sonic Adventure running on our Family Windows XP back in 2007.
It ran flawlessly.

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....

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 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.

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.

[fnckit]

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.

this is the age old question, thank god peater is doing this for us

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 <3

Video quality is crazy, 3D scan of the room was impressive
