Nice, VERY nice. My only beef is with this:





IMO, the "Ultra" should fit the perspective of the "Mega Man" logo more -- a star wars effect, if you will. as more words come on screen, they get bigger, since the perspective intends for them to be closer to the player. If you could try that sort of effect, I believe it'll look much better in the end.

Good luck with the rest - can't wait to hear the sound edits in particular.

Tweaker - Yeah I can understand the beef with the title screenshot, but I have limitations. First, there are not enough tiles spaces for me, to fit a bigger Ultra logo on the screen. Second, I was going to put that same size logo, on top of the Mega logo, but then game would be called, Ultra Mega Man. I don't want people to think of the game that way.

The logo is slightly tilted, in a star wars type fashion, I just don't have the shadow effects underneath the letters, to give it that appearance. But there is a tilt to it. Thank you for your reply!

How about redoing the entire logo, making Mega Man smaller so you can fit in Ultra beneath it?

well, i'm not that great at drawing, if there was a tool to just resize the present logo, and insert it back into the rom, without degradation, and organize it from there, then I would definitly redo the logo.

I could probably do something in Photoshop, using the text tool with anti-aliasing turned off. I can't turn an image into ROM tiles however.

YY-CHR and TLP both support importing bitmaps, YY-CHR is the better of the two because it actually pays attention to the colors used and can do automatic color reduction if needed (Not recommended, of course).

You can also use use use the same technique with Word. You can type up a logo with a desired font, and paste it into a bitmap. I've made some good logos that way.

Actually I meant Microsoft Word. I didn't mean the MegaMan font exactly, just whatever fonts you can use in Word.

Just to let everyone know, about half of the Beta Testers have received the hack.

I need to work on one more song, and put in the storyline.

Once I've received information that the Beta Testers give me, I'll post the hack up asap.

Thank You.

Notepad (or any other text editor) + Paint + Printscreen will work equally well (for those of us who don't have MS Word or don't want to use boot up a bloated word processor just to take a screenshot of a font)

where can i find the font that lets me type MEGA MAN exactly like you see in the Mega Man games? I tried googling, and only found the font for the credits text. Thank You.

There is no such font. No font can take into account the depth aspect of the logo; the fact that it's angled and gets bigger at the bottom (as a result of being angled) makes this not work.

You can get similar results using "WordArt", it's not perfect but it's similar.

Can't you just type in Paint directly? I did that when making the Baseball Stars Alternative title screen and it worked nicely. You could further use your graphics editor to reshape your lettering before pasting it into the graphics editor.
