here's sonic mania for uwp (no assets, and non-plus). it's based on dx9, so it only works with xbox controllers on pc (x86/x64). it also works on the series x in dev mode, but you may have to update your controller. I couldn't get arm or arm64 to build for arm pc or windows phones due to issues with libtheora. if it weren't for that one library, I think I could've gotten it to build for everything. you can place the data.rsdk in the sonic mania localstate folder on the series x via file explorer, if you have dev mode brick (i.e. can no longer ftp over to it). the certificate lists Charles_n_town, which can be found in the certificate manager, important people. to install in windows, use powershell 5.1 (the one that comes bundled with windows) with command ./Add-AppDevPackage.ps1

enjoy!

sorry, it's not important people. the certificate is under "trusted people." do note that there's a bug with later powershell versions (the ones you download with winget), where it can't find the dependencies for some reason. there's a workaround, but it's much easier with 5.1. the 5.1 version, the default one, works fine.

I somehow managed to fix the problem with uwp files not finding dependencies in powershell 7. I'm now no longer forced to use 5 or install the certificate, game, and dependencies separately. the problem was related to my computer software, not the uwp itself, so those work fine.

yes!

I attempted to add mods to the game. I think game loader is in Game.h, which is part of the SonicMania folder or the part of the game that the logic engine or game.dll is created from. unfortunately, I used a precompiled game.dll with no access to the source code, so there's no way to check. suffice it to say, it didn't work, whether I included it into the project, which was ignored regardless, or added it to the mods folder when debugging the exe. neither worked, so I don't think it's possible to add mods to RSDKv5 for uwp. the original developer didn't include mod support in Sonic 1 and 2 or RSDKv4 it would seem, so this is not really that surprising. I tried a friend's fork, which also didn't work. I'm not sure how far he got in it though. well, there you have it, no mod support for RSDKv5 on windows, windows phones, or the series x/xbone.
