Hi, everyone.

I recently got ideas for a small Megaman IV hack and slowly I try to learn some asm hacking. But currently I feel kinda dumb, Asm is really hard...

So, If there is someone who feel like they don't have anything better to do, here's my questions;

1) I would like to get rid of the password "system" in the game, no password usage. is it possible in any way?

2) My basic idea for this hack is, no stages exept Wily's so I need the game to jump from the title screen directly to Wily's castle intro. Does anyone know how to do?

I don't want people to think I'm lazy but some days Ijust think I'm just to stupid to learn asm myself, but I will continue to study it...

All help/tips will be appreciated. Thanks!

(Sorry for my sometimes bad English.)

koala_knight <<< Thank you, help is always nice but i will continue my own research.

infidelity <<< And thanks to you too, I'll be sure to check Matrixz's documetation. Btw, I sure looking forward to the release of Megaman Ultra 2. The first game is one of my main sources of inspiration. Keep it up! ;3

Anyway, I'm happy someone did reply. Cool to hear from fellow megaman fans. Bye for now!

(P.S. I'm actually working on a Megaman 3 hack too. I started a long time ago because MM III was the first in the series I ever played and I wanted to make it just a bit more of a challenge. Sadly it's a non-asm hack but I think it's turning out great. Maybe I'll post screenshots later. )

Well, I decided to make it official. I'm currently working on my first serious romhack, it's a Rockman/Megaman 1 hack called "Rockman Generations".

I am still learning about asm hacking and will hopefully be able to alter the game a little at least. For the moment I've been working on the graphics, all custom made by me. No copy and paste here.

Anyway, here's a few early screenshots...

Title screen:


Gutsman's stage:


Iceman's stage


The face seen at the title screen is "Master Albert", the main villain from Megaman ZX Advent who replaced wily in this hack.
I was hoping be able to have his theme "The Chosen One" added to this hack.

Hope you like the screens so far... More to come.

Well, I'd LOVE to have custom music but that will be a later question since the hack is still in a very early stage and in my current state I have zero knowledge about changing the music. Hehe, Can't really say help isn't appreciated. ; Anyway, As I said before I thought it would be cool to add atleast "Master Albert's theme" to the hack.

Dr. Hell <<< Thanks, all custom graphic is drawn by me. No rips. I want my hack to look unique.

CaptainEagle <<< Some of the graphic was drawn in the Rock and Roll editor and some of it was drawn in paint and put in with the yy-chr tile editor found
here.

Well, I'm still not sure about the scroll editor. I'll try it out later.

Thanatos-Zero <<< Great tileset you have there. Anyway, thanks but actually I really want to make the graphic myself. I'm love drawing the new tiles I have almost planned how I want the new stages to look.

Still the offer was appreciated.

Uncle Kasa <<< Thank you. He's my new favorite villain. ^_~

roxahris & blackhole89 <<< Nope. The blocks are not from MM3. There are similarities, I'll give you that but as I said before; all new stage graphic is made from scratch.

I thought I'd show a few new screens. ;3

I changed the title screen a bit. I really like the new logo.


Bombman's stage:


I'm not sure about this one. I kinda like but I don't really have any good ideas for Bombman. Please tell me what you think...

and

Cutman's stage:


This screen show one of two different areas on Cutman's stage one is a green forest-like field and the other is an underground tunnel.
I really love this one.

And here is a preview of my new sprite for Master Albert. I'm kinda happy with this. I's a kind of a challange to redraw such a complicated character with those limitations. But it was fun to try!



Enjoy! ;3

Googie <<< Thank you. I'm happy you like my Albert sprite.

Thanatos-Zero <<< Thanks to you too. And that's some good ideas. I'd try that.

I tried your hack today and so far it's really good. I hope to play a finished version some day.

And btw, I was kinda uninspired today so I remade the Megagirl picture for the title screen after reading PSlugworth's comments. I took the liberty to alter the title to try it out. I will not use this myself, so what do you think Insectduel? If you like it, I'll mail it to you.

Photobucket

And I'll be looking forward to learn more about your Mega Man 4 project.
Good luck!

Hi everybody...

I thought I'd show the first screenshot of my megaman 1 hack after it's transformation. This hack was earlier called "Rockman Generations" but I had had a change of hearts and now it called "Megaman Hero".

All graphics are custom and drawn by me (with MS Paint and inserted with YY-CHR).
I don't know how far I will go with this hack, right now I have new graphic and some asm altering in mind but who knows maybe there will be a custom soundtrack... we'll see.

I hope you enjoy the screenshot of my new titlescreen.

Megaman Hero Title Screen

Not sure about the palette. I'll kinda like it but my first idea was one in white and gray. What do you people think?

The title screen looks great. Good luck on making your project.

Thanks you. XD

Posted by Insectduel
Cool. Looking foward to see this project.
Good luck!

P.S. Thanks for the drawn MegaGirl image you sent to me.

Thanks, the world need more megaman 1 hacks. Heh.

No problem, I'm glad you liked it.

Posted by infidelity
I absolutly love the design of Megaman. Good luck with this project

Thank you, Infidelity. I love 8 bit pixel art and I think it turned out great.

Posted by Thanatos-Zero
Will Master Albert be in?
Rockman Generation was cooler in my opinium.
If you going to make own music, why donĀ“t you make a 8bit version of this soundtrack?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rAywSAB56o&feature=channel_page

Well, I liked Rockman Generations too, but when I moved my project to the Megaman (U) romfile I had to re-arrange my titlescreen. And my love for art made me draw a new logo.

Hmm, Will Master Albert be in it...? Well, that's a good question. Do you want him in? What do you guys think? Give me some opinion.

Ah, "The Chosen One", I love that theme. It's dark, and makes Albert feel like a real villain. I would love to have this theme and other songs from Megaman ZX Advent in the hack. With my present knowledge, I can't do much with the music but maybe later. And If there is anyone out there with more knowledge about this subject (and some free time XD) I'd appreciate some help...

After some thoughts, I remade my old Master Albert image, Logo & sprite. What do you guys think about it?



(The new mugshot is to be used for the wily stage in select screen.)

And I got this idea to change the robot masters into some kind of "doc robot" type of characters. The problem is I can't decide how they should look.


This is a few ideas straight out of my mind. Is any of these good? One idea I got in this very moment is;
what about using the ones with the black robe and make all six of them have different heads based upon which boss they represent...?!

Any suggestions?

also, i need to know the routine in MM1 that allows you to select what gfx to appear in the ppu.

I already have the code up and running. all i need is the gfx of the new face, and the ppu routine. so let me know.

another thing, insetead of sending the .ips again, how about sending me the image of the face already resized for your rom? I looked in TLP and noticed that MM1 has a funky way of inserting the gfx of the face into the rom. Maybe take a desktop snapshot of your PPU in action???

again, the code is all set, just need the pic

EDIT = i found the routine used for the title screen ppu setup, $10D30. And, i have the pic ripped properly, working with it in YY-CHR now. My next post will be my result

EDIT 2 = Done!

Screenshot Result


Zip File Containing .ips of my work
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AC29DYD6

insectduel, inside you'll find a readme explaining where i put the asm and such.




That's sweet, infidelity.

When I'm doing the pixel art I just work with the 4 color limit. I didn't know you could fix it like this... Awsome. I need to learn how to do this...

Ok, you guys are saying that the old mugshot are better, but can you tell me what makes the old one better? I remade it because I thought the old one was quite messy and I wanted the mugshot to be more like the original I used as ref;



Please, tell me what I should to to improve the mugshot...
