So I recently beat Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, and I have to say, I loved it more than any of the canon Megaman games. It was absolutely astounding, all the things that were put into that game. I had recently finished a runthrough of most of the canon Megaman classic games, and it seemed like every enemy from the NES and GB games were in this game somewhere. The new gimmicks were all good, and I can't think of a single stage I didn't like.

I understand that RM4MI is one of the best hacks ever and that I shouldn't expect anything of the same quality, but, are there any other Megaman hacks that one would recommend to someone who played the whole series?


Also, ROM hack thread.

Any good rpg rom hacks? Like, of any popular franchise?

I've played FFT 1.3 to death, so that's out.

Rockman 5: Air Sliding was worth it for me. It isn't nearly as comprehensive as R4MI, but the titular mechanic mixes things up pretty well. It's the kind of ability you miss when you go back to the official games.

It's got assembly hacks and Kirby music and other PureSabe goodness so you know it's at least worth checking out.

are translations rom hacks? I'm enjoying Bahamut Lagoon

I'm sorry for your wasted time.

You could try Mod of Balance for the GBA rereleases of FF1/2.

Uhhh, 1.3 was great fun. I really liked the changes to skills and rebalancing. It was a bit unfair at times with the enemy equipment improving faster the more I level up (same equipment being locked until certain scenarios), but I didn't play it without knowing it would be a bitch. It was a matter of not grinding, really.

Rockman 5: Air Sliding, Mega Man's Indonesian Artifact, Rockman Claw, and Rockman 6 Skype are great hacks.

(Skype is a WIP though, and I believe it is leaked but I found my 6 Skype DL on a youtube video)

I started RM5AS, and I have to say I like the mechanic so far.

What do you guys think of Unlimited and Rock Force? I enjoyed them both a lot, and now I'm doing a instadeath run on Unlimited.

I liked Unlimited, I downloaded Rock Force but haven't gotten a change to play it.

I like Rockman 5 Air Slide.

It's a challenging, well-designed hack. The challenges are all reflex and skill based, no kaizo-esque "gotcha" traps. Also, much harder (but fair) bosses.

Random question: Is the Wily 4 boss fight original or based on something else? If so, what? Like I was surprised on finding out the Wily 1 boss was MM7 Protoman.

It's really good?

How do I get started with ROM hacking? What do I have to learn?

I'm already a programmer. I want to modify game code.

You need to learn assembly language. You need debuggers for the games.

Already know some assembly. What else do I need?

If you have to ask, you don't know nearly as much as you think you know.

I said SOME assembly. I'm still studying. Obviously I don't know everything. I got the feeling the processor instruction set isn't the only thing I gotta know.

Also, my learning algorithm employs breadth-first search. I enumerate and learn about many related concepts, establish relationships and gradually go deeper.

Posts like these are why I'm not a computer science major anymore.

It's a fascinating field, but ugh, the PEOPLE in it.
