Homebrew Mega Man X w/ snemulds .6a

[superflyingfly]

Just a question about the mega man rom i have. I downloaded the v1.1 Mega Man X since people say it's working perfectly, but some v1.1 roms are a little bad they say.

The rom I'm using works fine except: each time i get an armor power up it does not carry over, and save states freeze the game when loading them (like before bosses).

Is this a problem with everyone or just a bad rom?

Thanks in advance..! ..hopefully =p

it (as does most smc roms used on a ds) has some serious bugs

 

[Smef]

I haven't played it much on my DS, but it looks like it works mostly fine other than some sound and minor graphics bugs. X2 and X3 are unplayable, unfortunately.

(but that's why I have the gamecube MMX collection, right?

)

EDIT: Upon going and playing it based on your report, I found the same bug to be happening. I beat chill penguin and was returned to the level select screen without the abilities and armor gained, and the level was not completed. How disappointing.

It's a problem with your rom. Something to do with address mirroring I think (not that I know what that means or anything).

http://www.pocketheaven.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=5407 has more info, but I can't find a working link to the patch file.

I had this same problem but it's fixed with a patch somewhere on the internet. Or if you prefer I can just give you my patched game.

 

[hdofu]

does anyone have this patch, the one in the link is dead and I can't find the file anywhere else.

 

[superflyingfly]

Ya ive tried googling for the patch and i found 1 but the link there was dead as well!

this site says the water level is unplayable and gives u the beaten code for it: http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/SNES_Advance_...tibility_List#M

so thats a little help there.. also tells u that u need the patch to play.. but no link!

edit: found this
6F98885D|Mega Man X (DarkCube IPS)|4000018|40000|BB0|B6|1E|0|A4=42,38161=EAEAEAEA
but i cant find the program to encode that into or w/e.

Here's four possible Game Genie codes that should do the same thing as that SNES Advance patch. I dunno which one is correct, so try them one at a time.

XX61-0D9A
XX61-1D9A
XX61-5D0A
XX7F-D9B4

You can also just open the rom with a hex editor and go to hex location 38161 (38361 if your SNES rom has a header on it) and replace that value and the 3 after it with "EA". Don't worry about the "A4=42" part of the text file.

Although I don't think that that's going to do anything. These patches are being applied on the already-patched rom. If you don't have Darkcube's IPS patch file in the first place, it won't make a difference.

that would be great azor, if possible

 

[Another World]

was it an IPS patch? you could run an IPS utility against the patched rom and a clean dump to make a new IPS patch. that way you do not violate any TOS for this board.

If anybody knows where the patch or patched rom are, I would love to know...been dying to play this game but Megaman X is way expensive if I want to buy the actual cart.

 

[sloanesky]

The problem is that the game will randomly stop when a shot is reflected (or shortly after getting the dash upgradE), say stage is complete, and then send me back to the original city stage without any upgrades or weapons other than the X-buster. Same thing happens if I beat the water stage.

The patched rom fixes this, yes?

 

[granville]

Yeah. And that happens on other SNES emus for the PC too funnily enough.

 

[sloanesky]

Nice. Only problem is that the site that hosted the ips patch is 404'd, and an already patched rom is impossible to find.

 

[granville]

You could try another region rom. I think it works with some other versions of it.

 

[sloanesky]

Only E region ROM I could find is unplayable. No sound and freezing/glitching

 

[granville]

There is a 1.1 rom version of the (U) game. Try to find that one.

The first post in this thread says that one doesn't work.

I heard from a friend of mine about that issue, it means you have a bad rom. A lot of MM games don't work anyways (man, i really wanted to try X3)
