I've run into another possible softlock in the sweatshop dungeon. When collecting enough rupees for the Goron, some of the rupees (as far as I can tell from a few different playthroughs I watched) come from a Floormaster in the room you get bombs. I got grabbed by it and now it doesn't spawn when I go into the room. I'm stuck at 95 rupees and I've gotten every chest and killed every enemy possible in the area open to me. Maybe I'm missing something, but every video I watch got 20 rupees from the Floormaster for a total of 115.
Really cool to see another hack like this come into fruition after how good the last one for Final Fantasy 6 was. Hope this gets a lot of people who were driven off by the battle pacing for this game to try it out now! Gotta get through a few more RPGs first, but I can't wait to make my first FF9 experience with this later in the year.
This looks like a nice hack, be handy for a replay. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1984/ https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7332/ Does it work with these two mods?
I might be able to. It is a bit tricky to modify. Otherwise I'll write it on the next screen instead, starting next version.
When you say gunslinger mode, do you also mean the ability to swap weapons on the fly, or ONLY being able to switch between fixed and free aim?
Thanks for reporting this! I will have a look and maybe find a fix. I actually haven't used the Alucart set that much so I'll try to replicate your bug.
Seems like it had something to do with the Alucart set. I unequipped the sword and suddenly the menu was working again, though there is now a blank item in the head equipment menu right under the top left slot.
I'm enjoying the hack but unfortunately trying to menu past, not even access, the head equipment is crashing the game. First happened after getting the Felt Hat, and after reloading to a point where I only had the Sunglasses and Bandana it was still happening. The other equipment pages seem to be working just fine though and I was definitely able to equip both the Sunglasses and Bandana when I first got them so I'm not sure what broke that specific menu.
Thanks for the upload mate. I cant play this. Have patched the game with various patching software and the game is corrupted. Ive tried various ROM versions as well. Ive played a few Googie romhacks and they've been great. Hope I can figure this one out.
Adding those two features in the first Mega Man game is far beyond my current abilities. You might want to ask someone who's more skilled than me.
This is a great guide, and has been needed for such a long time. It covers a ton of the basics and provides links to some of the best programs and utilities. I was already writing this review, but was surprised when I was quoted in the 2nd-to-last chapter. My only suggestion would be to have a version that combines all chapters into a single file.

Thanks Billy, really appreciate you removing that. I'll edit the review now.
