Also, you can give me an award if you want. :)
Step by step:
  1. Buy Sonic Adventure[gg.deals]


  2. Click Download


  3. Backup your saves if you want
    C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\SEGA\Sonic Adventure DX\SAVEDATA


  4. Run the SadxSetup.exe file you downloaded.


  5. When installing, its destination should be set to the games folder.
    This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > Sonic Adventure


  6. Once finished, If you backed up your save files, go to the games folder.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure DX

    If the Savedata folder isn't there, create a folder called SAVEDATA and put your Save files there.


  7. Now you can open and play the game. Enjoy! ^^

Help
To find and install new mods, Go to this site.[gamebanana.com]

Download and extract them to the games mods folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure DX\mods

The Mod manager automatically checks for any mod updates.


On Steam, When you press Play, it gives you the option to open the Configure menu.
  1. To open the Mod Manager, select the Mods button at the Top Right.




  2. To change your controls, there is a Controls button at the Top Left.
    Here are my recommended keyboard controls:


  3. Mods Configure Menus
    Some mods have Configurations. Select the mod then select Configure.






  4. Codes Menu
    Select the Codes menu at the top to access toggles that are kind of like cheats but some are visual. Here are my favourites:
Other Menus:
Graphics - Change the resolution and remove blue border with "Background Fill Mode".

Input - Change your game inputs

Sound - Toggle music, sfx and change their volumes

Options - Decide if the game pauses when inactive and change when the manager will find updates.

Debug - Load any level or event, play as any character in any level



Before and After
Different mods have different affects on visuals. This installer will also remove the blue border. :)
FAQ:
Any questions asked or that I think will be asked will be answered here and in comments.

  1. To install other mods, go here[gamebanana.com]
    then find a mod, and download and extract them to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sonic Adventure DX\mods

  2. Mods are automatically updated when opening the Mod Manager.

  3. The game shouldn't crash once this is program is installed. I am unsure of what you should do if it does. Maybe try changing some options in the mod manager.

  4. You can still use a keyboard. In the mod manager, there should be a mod that lets you edit keyboard controls.

  5. Steam Achievements can still be unlocked.

  6. All mods are optional and can be toggled on or off.

  7. All mods are made by various different people, as you can see when looking at the Mod Manager.

  8. The game's folder size goes from about 1GB to 2.2GB.

I do not own any websites, mods or programs that are mentioned in this guide.
I made this guide to help you all. :)


Hope you enjoy ^^

When I start the game with configure the mod option doesn't appear.

You should rename the title of your guide to reflect that it is now using SADX Mod Installer and NOT BetterSADX anymore.

Ive updated the guide once more. The information is a lot easier to read now and there has been a few updates to the mod manager since.

I hope you all find this guide helpful. :)
