As there already was an extensive modding scene for the SADX 2004 port, the modders didn’t feel it was worth it to rework all the tools, the mod loader and the existing mods to work with this version of the game. This new version of the game also meant that the mods and tools for the SADX 2004 version would need reworking.

This version of the game has some minor improvements in comparison to the 2004 port, but on the whole it has even more issues with visuals and audio, and has much higher system requirements than the 2004 port. The game was re-released on Steam in 2011. PkR has made a great webpage detailing the differences between SADX and Dreamcast SA1, and also a page with a list of mods that help to improve the PC version of the game (but there is also a full mod-pack - more below). There are many mods developed for SADX 2004, with the most common ones being mods to fix bugs introduced from the port (and a few original bugs), and also restorations to higher quality audio, textures and effects that were reduced. However, non US region games are easily patched to turn the game into US SADX 2004. The Mod Loader only works for US SADX 2004.

MainMemory alongside another developer named SonicFreak94 created a Mod Loader for the US version of SADX 2004. A Mod Loader was also created for Sonic Adventure 2 (and several other Sonic games). At any time, you can turn off the Mod Loader to return your game to the original (vanilla) version. This tool is essential for the easy activation of your installed mods and is currently the most common way to mod the game. In 2013, a developer named MainMemory developed a ‘Mod Loader’ which allowed you to list all your mods you have collected for the game and choose which ones to activate and deactivate. Mod LoadersĪfter Sonic Adventure DX came out on PC in 2004, PC modders took the chance to break apart the game and modify it to their will. We have a collection of mods for the Steam versions of the Sonic Adventure games, and this page will help you understand how to install and apply them.įirstly, to understand how to add modifications (mods) to your game, we need to talk about Mod Loaders. What does that even mean? ‘Modding the game’ is short for modifying the game - ie, adding user-made modifications to alter the game. So you want to mod your versions of Sonic Adventure 2 and/or Sonic Adventure DX.
