Since some talk about RM4MI has popped up, I may be able to give PureSabe a proper English translation, as that is my main language. Any way I can contact him?
Somebody tried that months ago. Seems to me Puresabe is planning an 'English' not 'Engrish' in the next update, I guess.

That's cool. I wonder why no one has ever done this before. Now I'd like to see it done for all 6 games.

Last view: 2762 days 		Hey people! For a while I've been doing some other things, but decided to come back to ROM hacking one more time!
Just like before I'm using Megaman 3, it's the one I know the most about, and having educated myself on the subject of 6502 asm, I'm really looking forward to this!
So far I've added a DPCM player to the music engine, a song from the game you can listen to Here
All the music will be my own original songs.
And I made one of Puresabe's simple hacks compatible with the US version, one that lets you jump from a slide and keep your sliding velocity, which works very much like the dash in the MMX series.
There's also a couple screenshots, since I'm absolute shit at graphics, I'm taking them from various Capcom titles.

The graphics blend in nicely as well; I know how tedious it can be to insert graphics from other games into the ROM, but in this case the result is great!

To answer your first question, I'm going to quote a post I made earlier when someone else had the same problem:

Posted by DurfarC
Posted by 32x1000
I use Rockman 2 editor (by Rockman 5 easily) and I have a problem. When I place enemies from another stage or other part of the level the graphics are all garbled but the enemy still behaves the way it should. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks
You have to select which enemy graphics that will load for each scroll map position. Let's say, in Heat Man's stage, the first corridor (the first scroll map position) consists of Tellys and Helicrapters (no idea what these things are called, but I guess that's a fitting name), and therefore that area loads a graphics set containing their corresponding graphics. The next room (the next scroll map position) contains disappearing blocks and a spring head; a new graphics set is therefore loaded. It goes on like that for every scroll map position in every level.

From what I can see, you can't change the enemy graphics set for each scroll map position in rock5easily's editor. You can do it in Visine though, which you can get here. It's DOS based so you might need DOSbox to run it. It's also a tiny bit buggy, so be sure to save and make backups often. You could also use a hex editor of course, but in my opinion that would be more time consuming unless you really know what you're doing.

Finally, it should be noted that some enemy graphics cannot be loaded at the same time, since they never appear in the same set. I think Visine is able to show what each enemy graphics set contains though (I don't have it atm and I didn't hack Mega Man 2 for almost 10 years).

Hopefully this made sense to you - if not, I'm sure some of the more experienced hackers here can give a better explanation.

Last view: 354 days 		Can't remember, so here goes another quote of an old post of mine:

Posted by DurfarC
I don't remember exactly, as I didn't use the editor for almost 10 years, and I'm not able to check at the moment. I found the help file for you though and uploaded it here. It's in an old windows format so you might have to update Windows help & support in order to view it. Just double click on it and see what happens.

There is also a readme file that came with the editor, which should contain some basic information about hotkeys and such, let me know if that is missing as well.


Looking at the readme, I think it's here:

KEY_SPACE - level path viewer (press KEY_S to edit the scroll data).

But I could be wrong.

Yes it does! Unfortunately, it's compatable with shorter url names. Like C://Program Files/Rock2ed.exe

Last view: 354 days 		I was totally wrong apparently. I have been lazy enough until now, but I finally decided to reorganize some folders and run Visine via DosBox. Even after checking the readme file and searching for solutions elsewhere on the internet, I still couldn't find out (hence it's not strange that you didn't find out either). So I decided to check the forum archives from 2005, since I remembered helping someone else with the problem back then, and finally found out:

Press F6 when in a stage, then click advanced, then stats, then sprites. Here you select the sprite graphics set that are used for each scroll.

For example, the following sets contains at least:
Set 0: Tellies, helicrapters (dunno what these annoying things in the beginning of Heat Man's stage are called), spring heads++
Set 1: Sniper joes++
Set 2: Vanishing blocks, tellies, spring heads++
Set 3: Rabbits, bats++

And so on. Just check which sets belong to what enemies in the original levels and go from there. Remember: Only one graphics set can be used for each scroll map position (each "floor"/"hallway"), meaning that some enemies can never be used in the same area.
