This is a Nintendo Switch port of Sonic 3 A.I.R, a fan-made widescreen remaster of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

In order to run this, you need a modded Switch, and also the Steam version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles on your PC or Mac.

Installation

How to install:

  • Make sure your Switch can run homebrew.
  • Extract the contents of the ZIP to the root of your SD card.
  • Copy Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin to /switch/sonic3air/ on your Switch's SD card. After installing the Steam version, you should be able to find it in one of the following directories:
    • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sega Classics\uncompressed ROMs\Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Sega Classics/uncompressed ROMs/Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin
    • Linux: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Sega Classics/uncompressed ROMs/Sonic_Knuckles_wSonic3.bin
  • If you installed Sega Classics to a different location, you'll need to check manually.
  • Start Sonic 3 AIR via hbmenu (or whatever method you prefer).

Notes:

  • Mods can be placed at /switch/sonic3air/savedata/mods/ and activated in-game.
  • To update from previous version, simply extract the new zip to the root of your SD card and overwrite any files. You won't lose saves or mods.
  • It is recommended to give the game full RAM access. This means you shouldn't launch hbmenu from the album applet when running this. With the latest Atmosphere build and its default config, you can hold R while starting any game to open hbmenu with full RAM access. If you have any issues make sure the game has full RAM access before reporting them; launching as an applet will not be supported.
