Hi everyone! After almost 7 years in the making, Mega Man 4 Voyage is finally released!

Mega Man 4 Voyage strives to be one of the most extensive Mega Man ROM hacks to be 100% completed and released to date, with an original storyline, new places to explore, reprogrammed robot master AIs, an improved weapon arsenal, new fortress bosses and an enormous soundtrack with almost 40 original songs to accompany it all. At the same time, it still tries to stick to the "run, jump and shoot" formula of the original classic Mega Man games. The hack should be suitable for veterans and casual players alike; it is more difficult than the original Mega Man 4, but easier than most other ROM hacks and fan games out there.

What started as a one-man project has resulted in a fine collaboration between DurfarC (main author, level design, programming, music), MartsINY (main boss designer, programming) and chiptune composers Golden Shades, RRThiel, Cosmic Gem and MarkTherence. Furthermore, the hack incorporates patches, programming assets and graphics from a wide range of people.

Please check out the README file for more information about the hack, including more detailed credits. Enjoy!

There's also a release video, which you can take a look at here:

Thanks to everyone in this forum who followed the hack's progress during all these years. It means a lot to me!

So awesome. congrats on release. i just finished playing through the game tonight now. started yesterday. It really is truly a great one. Difficulty's quite fair though i did struggle a bit during the wily levels for awhile which is to be expectd.

I really was shocked and surprised at the secret places, those gave me chills and goosebumps the first time like "what is this place"

All the new boss AI's are super cool. and course all the enemies from many mm games and mm 9 and 10. I seriously gotten caught so many times by those helicopter guys from Galaxy man originally, ...here in this hack.

Puresabe's going to be twitch-streaming the hack next saturday morning at 6 AM US Mountain Standard Time. So i cant wait to watch his stream.

All the music's really great. Everything's great.

i was watching a stream here by the rockman CX author this morning, and he encountered a bug during the wily alien fight where he somehow fell down off the screen back to the mid point with the boss music still playing, but all the enemy graphics glitched.

it only happened one time, it was at the end of the 1st phase of the battle. thought i would mention just in case. - it didnt happen to me in many attempts, so i dont think it's a big deal.

Oh, dope! I remember seeing this hack a while back and I'm glad you're done with it! Can't wait to try it out.

Aaand I broke it. Just get hit and defeat the boss at the same time.

I'm liking the hack so far, though it does feel a bit short and easy most of the time.

What's with the sudden aesthetics change from snow/ice to computer theme in Toad Man's stage, it is really out of place.

The music is great, the new boss AIs are interesting, the graphics look neat, I especially love how Pharaoh Man's stage looks like! And the Mega Man Soccer fortress. nice

Thanks for the nice comments, glad you guys seem to enjoy it! Ohhh, puresabe streaming it, nice! Would definitely love to see that, but unfortunately I work at that time. Maybe I can get someone else to work for me that day. Hmmm.

As for the helicopters aka Bunby Catchers, then yeah, I always loved these enemies, they're so cheeky in the way they drop down and make that sound if they manage to grab you. I tend to love enemies and obstacles everyone else hates haha

As for the Alien bug, thanks for notifying us, seems like more people experienced this independently of each other. It's already been fixed, will update all download links to version 1.02 very soon.

Toad Man was the second level I made in the hack, back when I started I didn't really care about the environment stuff I must admit, but I didn't want to redo the level so I just kept it.

I loved the hack! You've picked up elements of other games! Perfect.
You have a determination! If you think big, can make port of the Megaman 9 or 10 for the NES.

You might want to check this out, puresabe made this little tool to make a NSF file of your hack.
I heard some people on youtube comments talking about wanting a NSF or having trouble on how to make it themself.

readme is in japanese though sorry.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/314ioljb4l711rg/20181227_4_MM4VoyageNSFTool.7z?dl=1

here's the instructions from it though, quote:
* Way of making nsf
(1) "1_Patch.ips" is applied to "mm4voyage.nes" in ips patch.
(2) (1) is installed behind the "2_Header.bin" by hex editor.
(3)" it's preserved by the file name such as the mm4voyage.nsf". Complete!

edit: puresabe just told me that this is not really a suitable method to share with people, because it includes the whole ROM still since your applying the patch to the rom :|
