I am going to be doing a lot of ASM coding later, which made me think of this question. Which Mega Man game was coded the best? I'm talking 1 through 9 of course. It can be your opinion or factual. I read somewhere that one of the games was coded real well. Was it Mega Man 3? ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Isn't this more of an ROM hacking question?
(And coding wise, I'm pretty sure they're quite similar for the most part) ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I suppose this is more of a ROM hacking question. It's more of a technical question. Each game plays very similar, but each game has its differences. I'm sure the code is not the same for each game, and I'm sure some programmed methods are better in one game than they are in another. For example, I was watching Panophobia's MM4 glitch video, and there is flaws in the game's code. When Megaman uses the wire, it cancels Dust Man's suck attack. And there was even a video I watched where if you use the Rain Flush after you defeat Dr. Wily, it kills Dr. Wily, and the game doesn't continue. Now, lets say that MM4 was coded a little bit better, than these glitches wouldn't happen. I'm looking for the Mega Man game that is coded the best. I read somewhere, I don't remember where, that Mega Man 3 was the game that was coded the best. I could be wrong. I'm looking for more of a technical answer. But I was also curious to see if anyone had an opinion on which Mega Man game they thought was coded better. Perhaps they had hacked the ASM code before, and found the code to be programmed very well. You guys follow what I'm saying? ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

My instincts tell me it's either 5 or 6. The reason should be obvious. |

Posted by boingboingsplatMost likely C++ or something but then I doubt the original poster would be interested in that version, unless he got sudden interest playing on a Wii instead of a proper NES emulator. ...of course, the result would still be machine code. Doesn't matter what programming language you use.  (It might be easier to hack raw machine code compiled from assembly code though.)____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

In Megaman 6, a lot of the routines were coded from scratch. Where they could have used the same routines and data formats as MM5.. for some reason they didn't. I think it might be the most decently coded one of the NES games.
MM5 seems to be better put together than MM4, but i haven't studied it so much. |

Posted by PanophobiaWhich reminds me, MM6 is the only game to have a detailed boss preview screen. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Yea i love the whole intro on mm6 when you pick a stage to play, that's why i think that it's actually unique and FRESH compared to the majority of all the other known mm, mm X or whatever games that have an intro screen when you pick a stage. the mm zero games do not do that so they do not count.
While all the rest of the games use the SAME generic style having a horizontal strip in the middle of the screen most of the time against a scrolling star field, which is okay and all, but it's way too common, and that's also why i've not managed to ever do anything about my own boss selected screen for my mm3 hack either yet, it's just totally black and empty currently cause i wanna do something totally new and fresh like what mm6 did, NOT like the other games using that same old plain horizontal strip + scrolling stars. 
------------------------------- Anyway in terms of the topic dicussion. MM3, 4 and 5 are all very similiar. Except 4 had alot more very unsuual styles for routines. (because i've worked alot with mm4 with infidel's hack) mm3 by far is my baby! i know every single little possible nook and cranny of the game there is what everything is means and such. (so that's why my mm3 hack will require many more years of work until im done) :| MM6 like matrixz said is the absolute most complicated and hardest of all the NES games. It's programmed SOO truly different than the rest of the NES series, some of the most SIMPLEST routines like pallete changes and the text drawing routines are so ridiculous and stupid (not that it's bad or anything) but the way it works is just i mean...so freaking different and tries to be very complex which is unnecessary really. But it's got the LEAST amount of bugs and glitches, compared to say mm1 which is so broken beyond belief as demonstrated by the mm1 TAS runs on the www.tasvideos.org website. |
