Solid_Sonic 09/18/23 7:50:40 PM #15:	What BetterSADX does is it takes the 2011 version that's sold on Steam and turns into the much more flexible 2004 version. From there it becomes very malleable and you can add all kinds of mods (like retexture the game to remove the really bad looking DX environments). --- Being proud of yourself is cringe, show some humility. <cite>Solid_Sonic posted [p:976158792] in Should I b...

Aside from that, SA2 ports aren't as fundamentally bad as SADX ports are as far as I'm aware, so there isn't enough that needs fixing to be rolled up into one mod manager or pack like the SADX ports are. Haven't dipped into SA2 on Steam yet so I can't recommend any specific mods.
