Trying to get this to play in windowed mode via DXWnd and it's freezing as soon as it starts up (on the black screen I mean). Fullscreen mode works fine (and plays great, really fun mod), but I hate playing stuff like that so I dunno. Similar to brianuuu's Tropical Resort All in One, this mod aims to give the same treatment to Planet Wisp, porting all 6 acts plus a 3D hub into Sonic Generations, staying as true to the original levels as possible with some added improvements to tak.
