Before I begin. I'd like to just take a moment to give some very big thank you's to "kuja killer" & "Panophobia aka Matrixz"

If it wasnt for kuja killer, this hack would not be what it is today. I began this hack back in 06, I was still very terrible at ASM. kuja killer layed out the foundation pretty much to this MM4 rom. He converted this rom to CHR-ROM, edited the XY engine to mimic MM5's (so i don't need to have seperate tables for left facing sprites, and right facing sprites, so basicly i only need 1 table) And he also expanded the rom to it's max size for a MMC4 mapper. Those 3 key ingredients have given me the ability to do things that I've never imagined. He also did some pretty cool asm for my boss select screen, (you wont be able to fully notice it until the final release) He has been extremely patient and kind to me over the past 3 years, and has taught me a whole lot. I'm now at the point where i can do extensive asm on my own without major assistance.

I'd also like to thank Matrixz for his incredible MegaFLEX level editor. I'd also like to thank him for teaching me very vital asm as well. Because of him, I can now create sprites, and make them shoot, make them move how and where ever I want on my own!

So with that said, I'd like to give everyone a very small taste of what I've been doing. I will be revealing the storyline, the title screen, boss select screen, some custom music, and 1 very very small level, (bout 8 screens worth) It was difficult to choose what to show, but I felt this would do fine. There's tons and tons of stuff that I have completed, so there's a ridiculous amount of surprises when the final rom is released.

Everything here is not sketched in stone. So please keep the criticism to a minimum. I'm not looking to wow players with amazing level design and enemy layouts right now, this is just something i threw together really quick.

Lastly I'd like to thank everyone that has taken an interest in my work for their patience. My free time is pretty much zilch, so it's incredibliy difficult to put constant work on this, hence why it's been almost 3 years.

When completed, this rom will be released as a rom for emulators, a .wad file for the Wii, and it will be also released for play on an actual nes cartridge. This rom will also be released in US and JAP text. I've decided not to show screenshots or videos, that's all up to you if you feel the need to show something and comment on it. I'm hoping to get this out in 2009.

Is Chill Penguin supposed to be impossible?

Not bad but the rabbit robots don't appear to harm Megaman all the time and the snow ball throwing robots don't activate when they should making it very easy to beat them without getting hit.

Chill Penguin ga taosenai!

I can't get close to beating him.
Anyway this has a professional feel to it, even if things are incomplete.

I hope you can get the time and energy forwards for this.

Wow, I'm impressed. Really. Your hack is on the same level as Matrixz's. You did all of this programming yourself? The presentation was awesome.

Damn...

I have definitely been inspired by the both of you.

My only complaint is that Chill Penguin is simply impossible to beat, but I'm sure you know about that, so it's okay.

Fantastic work there infidelity.

just wanted to say again that what you see and play in that chill penguin level is not sketched in stone. as you tell with chill penguin, i borrowed the dust crusher from dustman. I can make it so it "doesnt" stop at megamans X position, but I've been running into trouble with telling it to activate the other asm when it hits a wall. I totaly understand everyones frustration with fighting him, but this will not be the final result. I plan to actualy have him do almost everything the same as in MMX. Thank you everyone for the very kind comments

I have also played this hack now. I give you my thoughts, what could be improved.

- In the opening there should be after the words "Fight Megaman" the classic quote "Fight for everlasting peace".

- Although the story is very entertaining, you miss five things.
1. Why does Wily steal X? Dr Wily want to use his greatest invention Zero to destroy X, to prove his superiority over Dr.Light. In his past Dr. Wily was always the second after Dr.Light, this has made him after that many years more and more frustative. This has lead to the point were Wily was cast out for his unorthodox methods by the scientific community. Dr.Wily was nominated for the Nobel Prize in physics, but again Dr. Light has won, like in so many contests before.

2. What about the Dr. Wily incidents, which are mentioned in the backstory in Irregular Hunter X? The Wily Incidents, are a event, which cause humanity to fear all Robot Masters, including Dr.Lights and Dr. Cossacks creations. This needs to be mention in the game as well. However you need a explaination why Rockman is still around. Let´s say that he is still around to protect humanity, however he willl also be disposed after Dr. Wily´s death. The only way for Rockman to stay alive is to leave the Earth with Duo. Duo said, that he want to take Rock´s Justice Energy to his superiors.

3. What about Forte and the others? He should made at least a heroic sacrifice, since he does not appear in the future, like many characters like Roll, Rightot, Blues and many others like King.

4: Dr. Light´s condition after he finished X. Just look the video.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=g2EYjbEFfO0&feature=related

5: Chill penguin wasn´t created in the times of 20XX. Also If you want to include Reploids, than use the Rockman Xtreme Style. However, please try not to create contradictions.

http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/X/Xtreme2/Boss/

-Will Zero be included?
Edit: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1JnSssol4VE

Also do not forget, Inafune himself disproved the Zero Catalysm.

Thanatos, leave Infidelity alone. If he wants to do the story his way, that's his choice to make.

Thanatos-Zero

I appreciate your comments on the storyline, but I already have things in motion for how I want to bring X to life. I'm going on personal experience with what I've grown up with. In my lifetime I've been around the entire nes series, and all of the X series. I've never gotten into any of the other spinoffs, especially the zero games. I've always been a megaman fan. So it's the classic and X series that I've spent my whole life devoting countless time to.

Also, with rom hacks you need to suspend disbelief. I know chill penguin is from the X series. I'm trying to bring something fresh to the rom hacking community, and something fresh to MM hacks as well. I'm bringing something that hasn't been done in MM hacks, so you need to take this with consideration that this is a rom hack. I'm not from Capcom, I'm not a storywriter, this is all from a 27 year old fan that loves megaman to death, and wants to tell his own story.

I wish I could tell you how this will all play out, but I can't. The storyline is the backbone to this project, as I'm creating an "unofficial" bridge from the classic to X series.

I'm not here to flame you, or anything in that manner. I thank you for taking the time for writing, I just want to make myself clear about how I want to present this storyline.
