Hello there everyone! It's been a while since I've posted in this Board. Not sure if many of you remember me, but I was the one who released this hack back in August of 2008. Since a lot of people seemed to not like the hack, I decided to redo it.

Anyway, this is a hack of Mega Man 1 that is going to have completely new levels, new graphics, some ASM tweaks, and completely changed music. So far I've completed 2 levels. Here are some screenshots showing some of the work I've done so far.


Pretty much the same as the Title Screen from my previous Megaman hack. Nothing too exciting.

Gut's Man's Stage:

I've made Guts Man's Stage an underground/cave type level using some graphics from Super Mario World. This stage will be the shortest and easiest stage.


Climbing some vines...


Here, you'll see a metool and a 1up. The 1up can only be collected if you have Elec Man's weapon.


Some of the annoying enemies seen in Elec Man's stage of the original Megaman...


And here you'll have to fight against a Picket Man...or just run right through him and take some damage...

Cut Man's Stage:

I've decided to make Cut Man's Stage a grassland type level using some graphics from Yoshi's Island. Unlike Guts Man's stage, this is one of longer, more difficult stages.


Watch out for the instant death toothpicks spikes.


Hmm...How do I get that 1-up?


Some of those popping blocks that we all know and hate.


More popping blocks...


Watch out for exploding bullets...


You'll need Gut's Man's weapon to get that health capsule.

Well, that's all I've done so far. Expect to see a demo of this hack soon. Any comments/criticism regarding the screenshots?

I love the Cutman BG tiles. Very nice! Looking forward to a demo. Keep up the great work!

Change those SMB pipes to SMW pipes, other than that sweet work on the hack.

I hope is better than the last BETA version of the game. I should get back to MM1 anytime soon.

And where do you start learning something new from?

Heh. Thanks. Cutman's Stage was pretty fun to make. And I've always been a fan of the graphics from Yoshi's Island.

Yeah...I was considering maybe changing the pipes up a little. I'll get on that sooner or later. But thanks for pointing that out.

Don't worry. I'm going to make sure this one turns out a lot better than my previous attempt at making a MM1 hack. That's why I'm going to post a demo this time, so that way I can get some feedback on my level design before releasing the full version. I should have a demo ready after I complete 1 more level.

Oh, that looks great. Yoshi's Island graphic really makes this one look interesting. I'll be waiting for this... Good job.

I really like how this looks, it must have been a little difficult to get the correct palettes. Yeah, you should change the SMB pipes to SMW pipes like Googie said. I definently would like to try this out.

Heh...really odd and interesting to see those familiar Mario GFX in a Megaman setting. Thanks for sharing, and I'll check back on this thread from time to time to see what else is going on here.

Well, sorry about the long wait, guys. SMW hacking had been my primary focus lately, so I haven't really had to time to work on this hack all that much. However, I just completed the first demo. Bomb Man, Guts Man, and Cut Man are the only 3 levels changed in this demo. Download it here.:

Clicky!

Unfortunately, I am sorry to say that I am not going to continue working on this hack again for a while. No, I am not cancelling it, but just don't expect to see any updates soon. I may work on this again after I complete the second demo of my SMW hack.

Well...enjoy the demo!

It's okay. I had the same way with MegaGirl. I was more focused with Mega Man IV so I really don't have time to finish it unless I completed the hack before or after 2010 of January. (I would release the hack on New Years) I inserted some good ASM stuff that CAPCOM didn't even coded some of the sound stuff and other customary ASM.

Thanks for the demo release, apprieciated.

OMG, today is my lucky day. Rockman 4 Endless has it's first release too. Better start playin them both tonight.

I get like that too where I just wanna focus on one hack, so yeah don't sweat it. I like the music changes, it's real cool.

How do you exactly import the music from other games? I know where the music data is since I held on the document and I have a few tools related to music.

Nsf2Midi
GXSCC
Spc2Midi
RockMidi2Nsf (For Mega Man 3 to 6 games) - Will be used with my MM4 hack.

The point is, I'm not good at making music or playing notes with hex formats. I've planned to use parts of Hana Yori Dango music for Game Boy Color into my Mega Man 1 hack.

@Googie: Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it.

@Insectduel: Unfortunately, there's not really an easy way to import songs from other games. I usually just write the music data manually with a hex editor. However, I can usually just download a midi of the song I want, and open it up in a midi editor so that I can use the midi as a reference while writing the music data. But if you're looking for some way to just simply convert songs to Mega Man 1 music format, I can't really help you.

that thing is like seriously impossible to use. it never works. I once tried to use it and thought of every little thing to try doing and no matter what the generated nsf's would never ever work or play.
The author himself, puresabe once told me that it's actually buggy and he wishes he never made the program in the first place..

I guess it's never easy to create music. The only way to do it or to write songs is to play around with hex and know the headers.

It's easy to find music data, but creating music isn't one of them.

It's ASM. I did the Title Screen theme code a long time ago and tested it. But I need custom music in my MM1 hack to do this.

Changing the Title Screen can easily be done with this.
