Cross-posting from Jul, out of recommendation from one of the members there.

So, this is an idea I've had lingering in the back of my head for months now.

I've always wanted to try to go for a ROM hack where, instead of using Mega Man, you play as one of the Robot Masters instead. The closest I've seen to this is an Elec Man hack for Mega Man 5, but I'm thinking a little bit bigger. Essentially, I'd like to make it so you play as that Robot Master with all the frills and benefits that the computer-controlled boss would have; full use of their weapon, proper sound effects, speed/jumping ability, the whole nine yards.

However, I can't really contribute a whole heck of a lot to it. I can do some graphics replacement, maybe a little palette hacking using Visine or something, and perhaps permanently add in an Infinite Weapon Energy code or something so that the default is always that robot master's ability (unless the robot master is one from a different game, and in that case...yeah) or find codes to alter the speed and jump height and have it permanently put in.

I just wondered if anyone would be down in joining me in this little escapade. I figure it might help bring my programming knowledge up to snuff a little, as well as just having a group to do stuff with.

Hey, all. I'm Rick. Was recommended to post an idea for a ROM hack thingy here, and I did.

Some of you might recognize me from Jul. Though honestly, I don't know if I'll be posting that much around here. Forum shyness and all.

It could really be any game that a robot master could be stuck in, honestly, so long as it's Mega Man 1-6, so long as the robot master has the right sprites and such (or the sprites for some things can be easily made).

Mega Man 3 might be neat. Maybe a Shadow Man hack?
