Sonic '06 Mod Manager

A tool designed to make it easier to use and manage mods for Sonic '06 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

# Building
To manually build the Mod Manager, simply clone this repository to a location on your computer and open `Sonic-06-Mod-Manager.sln` in Visual Studio (only [Visual Studio 2019](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/) has been tested for this, but any recent version should be able to compile it). Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and choose Rebuild Solution to build an executable in `..\Sonic-06-Mod-Manager\bin\Debug`.

If you just wish to use the Manager without touching the code, [simply grab the most recent stable release](https://github.com/Knuxfan24/Sonic-06-Mod-Manager/releases).

# Usage
When you first run the Mod Manager it will prompt you with the first time setup, these settings be changed at any time. [Please refer to the wiki if you get stuck.](https://github.com/Knuxfan24/Sonic-06-Mod-Manager/wiki)

## Emulators
Configure your Game Executable and Emulator Executable locations using the text fields (or browse buttons). The Emulator Executable simply requires you to select your EXE of [Xenia emulator](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia) or [RPCS3](https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3). Then click `Save, install content and launch Sonic '06` to automatically copy the mods to your game directory and launch the game in the selected emulator.

## Real Hardware
Uncheck `Launch emulator after installing mods` in the Settings section, then set your game executable to an extracted copy of Sonic '06 on external media. Click `Install content` and once finished, you can launch the game on the external media from real hardware, provided it's modified.
