Attached is a solution to Redux's version of Lemmings' Ark that conceptually cannot work in vanilla Lemmix.
NL allows physics that are impossible in vanilla Lemmix:
1. Have a right-facing walker on top of left-pointing one-way block.
2. Assign digger. He'll dig into the one-way wall. (Works on all versions.)
3. Assign basher to the right-facing digger while he's still digging.
Vanilla: The basher assignment is not allowed.
NL: Assignment is allowed. Lemming bashes the left-pointing one-way wall to its right, immediately cancels due to hitting unremovable terrain (the left-pointing one-way wall), and turns. My solution relies on this behavior.
Genesis (e.g., on emulator): I have no idea. Who knows something about it?
I tested this against
LemmixPlayerExtra.exe ("vanilla Lemmix" in this post) from
namida's Lemmix Player collection. To play Lemmings' Ark there, put that exe in new directory, run it once, exit it. Edit the spawned ini file, set cheat codes to 1. Run the exe once again, press F2 in the main menu, enter code
0147 and hit return. During play, F11 pauses.
Thus, I assume that this is a backroute to Lemmings' Ark. I don't remember any other solutions, thus I can't judge how big of a backroute this is. Does this backroute make Lemmings' Ark too easy for its late spot in Redux (in the final rank Lunatic, level 30 out of 32)? Can you reasonably patch this backroute (I don't see how)?
Does vanilla Lemmix have physics identical to Genesis Lemmings?
