I'm playing too and am in the very beginning -- vertical shaft just after the entrance to Mini-Boss Hideout I (not sure what it is in your game).
This is HARD. |

ok. The idea is to blast through the right hand side of the glass windows in the corridor, and journey right along the outside of the ship. I encountered no issues with this using VirtuanNes or Nestopia.
I'll look into it again, of course.
I've noticed another couple bugs in the game that need looking at- one serious, but emminantly fixable.
As for a few of the other issues, I'll make a post soon with all the other bugs, and maybe parasyte or snowbro would be so kind as to help me out. We shall see!
Thanks for playing Jman! You're almost certainly the first to have completed Captive- congrats. I'm afraid this hack may not have attracted the attention I hoped it would  .
So what did you think of the game? Anything you'd like to see changed/added for the final relesase? |

Try looking at it again in MetEdit. I messed around with the level design and found no legitimate way to get to where you needed to go. Incidentally, the same problem creeped up in the escape sequence. I couldn't get inside the large glass area once I got to the top, forcing me to use MetEdit again to complete the game. I think it's a bug... |

>BTW, who's the "Adam" in screenshot #6?
This section is Samus ship. A little history repeated from Metroid Fusion 
>Okay, Tourain, or whatever the area is called. Second room. Lost as ****.
Hmmn... I don't want to give this away really. Let's just say there's away to get to all the metroids in that corridor 
I'm delighted to see at least someone is having a real go at this game! Good stuff! |

Thanks a lot!
hehe... Do you mean the very first screen in the game?
It's just a little puzzle to get the juices flowing! Not too tricky.
I give a way a lot of answers to puzzles and am trying to stop. If you're still stuck tomorrow let me know and I'll tell you!

great hack but how do you get out of the begining area with the morph ball? |

I'm looking into it now. Thank you so much for reporting the issue.
Already though- I cannot imagine why, but I'll do my best to find out.
On a different note- Does anyone know if SnowBro is still around these days? Perhaps with a different alias? I have a few questions about items and such that I'd like to pose to him.
Thanks again Jman. |

A problem, not sure if it's a bug in the way Metroid is hacked or what... on the way back to get the morph ball, I died on purpose (I figured it would be near the beginning... and I was right  ) when I came to I got the morph ball and went about my business, except for one thing: the energy tank I got from the Ice area was gone. Don't know what happened to it, but my energy max was 99 yet again.
A fix for this would be appreciated, although I'm not sure if this bug occurs all the time. |

You'd have to be more specific but sounds like you're on the right track! |

Heh, now I'm kinda stuck in this area... once you get the bombs, there's a room where it seems like you have to bomb jump really high in order to get to the top passage. Either that or you need the ice beam to freeze enemies, but I'm not sure if that's the right way... it's late and I don't feel like backtracking across the entire map for alternate places to explore, so I was wondering if I'm supposed to be able to get through this room yet. I suck at bomb jumping. |

It really isn't that hard. But I know what you're going through!
The trick is to drop from the highest possible point in that area of the maze (think about this) when you're trying to get through the first left gap. You don't necessarily even have to bounce into the gap, you can roll straight through, and straight through the following gap.

Yea, umm... it's difficult. I got past the first part, but the second one is hard too. Mostly because it just seems like trial and error, like you have to bounce in exactly the right pattern first... and even then you might not get it. And there are dozens of combinations as well. Gah. |

Well, it's tricky. You have to bounce before all three gaps Don't stop when you are a ball inside the gap, you lose the momentum.
Try re-entering the room/ ensuring you're using an accurate emu.
The lower part of that maze is perhaps harder. |

Now I'm stuck here. I can't bounce through the hole just to the right of Samus in this picture. =\ I actually got it once but forgot to save, and now... I can't do it again. She just won't bounce high enough. I've tried dozens of times. |

Argh! BMPs! a whole bunch of them!
Barring that, the screens are nice.
Sorry, i just freaked out. I'm on 56k and this page bears 1,125,324 bytes worth of bmps.

oh... I expect you'll find a few breakable blocks in the shaft around there |
