S2B/Reaching Foreign Sonic Websites
Since the prototype ROM was found on a foreign website, one wonders what
other treasures are hidden in foreign websites, waiting for us to explore.
Following are some important phrases in other languages, which may be
helpful when expanding your source of research beyond the English-speaking
world.
You'll need to have the fonts of the foreign languages installed, or
you'd see garbage ASCII codes. Windows 2000 and XP have native support for
displaying and inputting foreign languages. You can install the fonts in
Regional Options, under Control Panel.
Install the Asian fonts. |
Provide better support for displaying and inputting in non-unicode
programs, such as mIRC -- if needed. This step is not required for
viewing Asian languages in Internet Explorer. |
Chinese
There are two types of written Chinese languages. Mainland China
uses simplified Chinese, while Hong Kong and Taiwan use Traditional Chinese.
Sometimes words are the same for both types.

- Super Magic Drive: 飞鹰 (Flying eagle)
- Sonic: 超音鼠 (Supersonic mouse), 音速小子
(Sonic-speed dude)

Traditional, Big-5 encoding:
- Sega: 世嘉
- MegaDrive: 世嘉五代 (Sega Fifth Generation)
- Super Magic Drive: 飛鷹 (Flying eagle)
- Sonic: 超音鼠 (Supersonic Mouse),
音速小子 (Sonic-speed dude)
