I had to take a break from my homebrew project, The Wrath of Bowser, this past weekend, due to real-life things. However, on one of those nights, I was watching some YouTube videos of another interesting Mega Man fan-game. There's a lot of good ones out there!

So while I plan on continuing my Mario project, I also have an interest in getting back to my Mega Man 4 hack. But I was thinking. One of the reasons I started my Megaman 4 hack, is because I was inspired by Megaman Ultra II and Megaman Forever (and more recently, Megaman 4 Voyage). So I was wondering, before I return to my Mega Man 4 hack, should I consider doing a CHR-ROM conversion of the original ROM?

I vowed to never do another CHR-ROM conversion again, because the one I did with Mega Man 1 was extremely difficult and time consuming (and half-way through it I deemed it not worth it ), I was just curious if there was anyone that would be interested in a CHR-ROM version of Megaman 4?

I'm not saying that I would do it, but I would consider it if there was enough interest. It took me 3 months to do the conversion for MM1, so I would imagine the one for MM4 would take at least 6 months. But I would publically release it, and everyone would have an easier MM4 ROM to work with. Converting to CHR-ROM would free up all of that PRG space, and working with graphics and sprites would be so much easier.

So, if you have an interest in such a conversion, please select the Yes option. If you don't really care all that much, or are indifferent to it, please select the No option.

Thanks.

well all i could say is, it would take waaaaay more work compared to megaman 1 because well. There's more enemies, more bosses, animations, and so on in the later megaman games compared to megaman 2 and 1.

And i can tell ya from experience, it is a real true pain in the ass to deal with that for all the hundreds of animations individually because i actually converted megaman 4 to CHR-ROM once many years ago, it was for infidelity's "megaman ultra 2" --- mm4 hack.

It was totally worth the struggle when i completed it. But it was sooo annoyingly hard though.

Believe me, you don't have to tell me. I know exactly how annoyingly hard it can be, just by doing the MM1 conversion. I have no doubts that the MM4 would be a lot harder and more time consuming. Originally, I was going to do the MM4 conversion first, but I had no idea on how to go about doing it, which is why I decided to do a simpler conversion. After having done my first conversion with MM1, I now know how to go about doing it for other games.

But as it stands right now, I'm not going to be doing it. It seems only 3 people are interested in it. There needs to be a lot of people interested in it for me to spend my time doing it, because of the sheer size of the task.

But also, I didn't have the time to post my poll on romhacking.net, so I'm going to do that today. I'll give it a couple of weeks for both polls and see if there is any real interest in such a conversion.

While I would be interested, I don't think 4 has enough love or dedication in the ROM hacking community to really warrant much dedication, outside of 4MI and Voyage. Like maybe time could be invested into something more popular, like MM2 or MM5, but I think it'd be alright for MM4.
