Utilities
SonED2 is the primary Sonic the Hedgehog editor, working with Sonic 1 and Sonic 2; however, it requires that the game be prepared to produce a "split disassembly", where the level art, level layouts, object definitions etc. are split from the actual assembly code into separate data files. Work now goes into commenting the code such that it can be worked on.
The current most popular split disassembly for Sonic 1 is maintained by Hivebrain and uses SNASM68K for assembly. It (as well as SonED2 itself) can be downloaded from Hacking CulT (below).

Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix is a hack by Tweaker and the Megamix team that stands out above the rest. It can be found here: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_1_Megamix. This hack is actually still in development, but the currently available Version 3 could easily stand as a completed Rom hack.
