Patch Installation

Knux edited this page Sep 5, 2021 · 6 revisions

The Sonic '06 Mod Manager has access to a high number of community patches developed by various people, these can range from small quality of life tweaks (such as disabling the intro Sega logo to speed up the game boot) to restoring removed content (such as the curved Homing Attack that Sonic had in the Xbox Live Arcade demo).

Installing a patch works like installing a mod, simply check the patches you wish to use and launch the game from the Mods Tab (this automatically saves the checked patches, although you can manually save your selection with the Save checked patches button in the Patches Tab).

For information on creating your own patches, see the patch documentation.


Right clicking on the patch list will show a menu with the following options:

  • The Patch Information button will show a message box with the Patch's Full Description (if it has one), this is used to give more information about a patch than would reasonably fit in the Blurb Column.

  • The Open Folder opens a Windows Explorer window to the folder %localappdata%\Unify\Patches that contains all of the installed Patch Files.

  • The Create Patch button will bring up the Patch Creator. For information on using this to create the structure for a mod, see the Patch Creator page.

  • The Edit Patch button will open the selected patch in your default text editor (if no text editor is associated with the .mlua format then Windows will ask which program you wish to open it with).

  • The Delete Patch button will simply remove the selected patch from your Patches folder and from your Patch List.
